  1. We have to be able to see them to track them, and you can't see shit from earth unless you are on the dark side of the planet, so until we launch a telescope toward the sun facing the earth, the best we can hope for is 50%.
  2. Reading all these really smart economists and bankers describe the banking system reminds me of the blind men describing an elephant by looking at just a part of it. What the Fed calls "excess reserves" are not really excess when you apply the BIS basel III liquidity "voluntary" requirements, if I understand those correctly.
  3. 'member when Wells started Jackson Tyner over Jett Duffey? Jett Duffey remembers.
  4. So now they think you and Kevin are shacking up?

  8. Yeah the way he wrote it made it sound like tariffs could be raised 7.5% in the future, but it is actually about reducing the second group of tariffs (9/1/19) from 15% to 7.5%

  12. Not if this guy gets his way
  13. The Fed may not know what they are doing when they set policy, but they have (recently) done a good job of reacting to keep the market satisfied.

  15. This guy is a good follow on twitter if you dig this sort of stuff: https://twitter.com/associatesmind
  16. My guess was Mark Carney, but cheated and found it was Gordon Brown. He gone, but the march continues. May I suggest a new thread; not located on the politics forum?
  17. Ok here's another part of his speech. I'll go ahead and spoiler the answer.
  18. Not true. Change that little drop-down on the top left of your graph to "base 100"
  19. What's even wilder is how the great satan Reagan screwed over the middle class in France, the UK, Germany, China... https://wid.world/world/#sptinc_p99p100_z/US;FR;DE;CN;ZA;GB;WO/last/eu/k/p/yearly/s/false/5.487/30/curve/false/country
  20. In recent history, the wealth gap had been trending down toward more equal distribution, but this trend reversed in the late 1970s. data: https://wid.world/
  21. For most of history prior to the Enlightenment. You could say the same thing about slavery too. Doesn’t mean that we should go back to the way it was though.
