I guess it’s a no on this bet?

Tell me what's happening in Afganistan (no CR. Can't we all just get along?)
So, is it true about US troops guarding poppy fields? Did we ever do that? That’s one of those things conspiracy theorists liked to say.

This sounds fun. We should bet on this. I say no taper before the end of the year. Interested? How much?

Appreciate both of your inputs on this thread. It’s very interesting to see how things actually get done there and what’s possible vs the mostly useless media reports.

Is Panjshir known as a more secular province? Why is resistance based there?

Whoa whoa whoa I’m not just going to sit aside while Mr Zeller plays the blame game. This isn’t the time! Didn’t he get the memo?

25% bump in monthly food stamps. Fortunately Jimmy informs us there is no inflation in food so this is all just a bonus

There’s nothing political about saying that the people in charge of this operation are responsible for thousands of Americans at the mercy of the Taliban. It’s just a statement of fact.

You know who always wants to avoid the blame game? The people at fault. The point is there should never have been thousands of Americans in this precarious situation. Major fuckup. Hopefully they can get them out safely, but as Phd said, when you’re having to venture out into now Taliban held areas to find these people anything can happen.

This is silly. Everybody here knows the history of the war in Afghanistan. Only one President and administration is responsible for stuff like this. Pathetic. And potentially tragic.

That’s because the media generally cheers on the war machine. About the only thing his predecessor was universally cheered for was bombing somebody. IMO it’s been time to leave for a while now, but it appears to have been planned poorly and executed even worse.

From what I’ve read a simple way to have made this all go smoother would’ve been to wait to pull out during the cooler months. Evidently half the year it’s too cold for massive mobilization of forces like the Taliban just did. Looks like we have a lot of posters who did tours over there that could fact check that.

I enjoy Ferguson’s pieces This key passage at the end sums things up pretty well IMO. I feel in my bones that trying to compete with China to build the best central bank digital currency is a mug’s game. The American way is to let innovation rip. Avichal Garg of Electric Capital is right in thinking that the best strategy to preserve the dominance of the dollar is precisely to encourage the international adoption of dollar-linked stablecoins, rather than to stamp them out. As the internet of money grows, the dollar is well placed to be the preferred global on- and off-ramp, connecting the nascent “metaverse” to the physical world where we still pay our taxes in fiat. If we have learned nothing else from the past half-century, it is surely that the best way to win a race with totalitarian rivals is not to copy them, but to out-innovate them. Make the wrong decision at this historic turning point, and we shall be interrupting a much bigger bonanza than Nixon did.

Saw some interesting numbers on the ETh change and its effect on DeFi tokens. This makes sense to me. Might be selling my Snx and AAVE

This is nice. Might be part of why the Fed has mentioned climate change. That way they can say they’re concerned about the true cause of increasing prices. 🙄- 2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
You mean betting for or against the dollar? I’m betting we will continue to trash the dollar and inflate as much as we can in a controlled way. Thus I own stocks, a small amount of real estate, and Bitcoin. I reject the framing that betting against the dollar unpatriotic. That’s probably more of a CR topic though. You seem to want to make it a for or against the dollar situation. Instead of looking at it as who you are “rooting” for, what do you think is going to happen to the dollar in the future? - 2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
