This is a no-go for me. I was planning to buy some low level Chinese officials and have them promoted through the ranks over the next 20-30 years until I control all of China but the tariffs make the investment impossible for me to justify to my shareholders at the next hourly earnings call.

very glossy paint

Seeing how easily this dweeb took control of the money power printing machine might start giving people ideas

Confirmed that google AI gave a 10/10 summary of harry potter

Definitely feel this too. My kid once told me “you like being angry at me” when we denied snacks and caused us to have to reasess how we were communicating. Its a very hard cycle to break and will not happen naturally.

Thanks for the book rec as well!

Bidens fat poops are for imperial citizens ONLY. Sorry China you gotta find the right gut microbiome and manufacture it yourself if you want in on the secret sauce.

The borderlands game Tiny Tina’s wonderland or w/e had this AND it wouldn’t reset the sound to your preferences until the main menu loaded every time.

I remember nothing else about this game other than the permanent ear damage I suffered.

But nothing happens in decades

Its been baking for decades but it will be the primary focus of the next financial crisis.

Many of these defaults have involved so-called distressed loan exchanges. In such deals, loan terms are changed and maturities extended as a way of enabling a borrower to avoid bankruptcy, but investors are paid back less.

These distressed exchanges operate in a legal grey area and intentionally favor larger lenders. Smaller lenders will be exchanged in to new loans with haircuts and no collateral while the majority lenders get new secured debt. As defaults rise this will continue to contribute to more centralization and accumulation by the largest firms. Typical infighting among the clergy in their religious institutions.

Lil conspiracy brain for me but liberalism relies on pushing the end of history narrative. Convince people that what’s happening now is part of the normal operating time loop so they can go back to brunch is a much more effective way for them to defuse this than rehashing the “do you condemn hamas” garbage

Didn’t even know they did a movie version of going postal, I really like moist as a character.

Love the hogfather. They did teatime almost like I imagined him when I read it.

Not to be overly technical but small correction: our clients are the shareholders and they’re not the ones denying claims. Its a small meaningless distinction but wanted to make sure were being totally clear for the new folks :)

Team, please dial down the commentary on our clients denying claims for arbitrary reasons. Rate of profit tends to decline etc

Happy to discuss

Idk much about nuclear but breeder reactors produce more fissile material than they consume, so technically renewable.

What do you mean I can’t access the game folder to look at the files?

This pissed me off so much. I couldn’t uninstall something so I figured I’d just delete the folder. “Access denied” from my own harddrive. Leave it to the OS developers to make the most effective malware

yep agreed, I really appreciate your posts and write ups. I’m like 5% through superimperialism

so here the Federal Reserve can sell government-backed securities (US treasuries) at a specific rate (say 2%) to set the minimum price of borrowing

It’s my understanding that treasury rates are set at auction, so these rates can be driven by demand (and not just internally as bidding is done by outside governments). The easier way to affect interbank lending is through interest on excess reserves - https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/reserve-balances.htm

This very transparently sets a floor while discount window rates sets the cap on interbank lending, and of course feeds back in to the treasury auction results as banks will allocate excess reserves to treasuries if they are paying substantially more than the interbank/fed IOER rates

I was looking for something like this, thanks. Still pathetic that average voter equates illegal immigrants with jobless criminals by default.
