I've always found it amusing that people think humans would be any match for an NHI species that has technology capable of reaching our solar system.

In the US at least, I don't trust that the government will do anything meaningful preemptively - they don't have a great track record (with regards to climate change) in recent decades. Instead, it will likely be the insurance com

Unfortunately, politics (in the USA at least) are too broken to lead these types of changes. It would seem we need to first fix our political system (e.g. remove monetary incentives from politics, repeal Citizens United, etc.) before we ca

Lots of uncertainty in the press conference following the interest rate announcement. Seems like the Fed is preparing for the possibility of more restrictive actions in the future, but is waiting for more data to see if such actions are ne

FWIW I'm not suggesting that the Fed should or will continue to hike rates. I think they are going to pause rate hikes in the near term and wait for more data to ensure inflation does not become entrenched. The parent comment I rep

I can't reply to your most recent comment rcme, but it sounds like you are agreeing with me? Yes, if inflation is at 2% then the Fed would be incentivized to reduce rates, but....it's not, it's over 5% and has been for some

It also means prices are higher. A significant portion of the population lives on fixed incomes or don't have the means to switch to a higher paying job, and were getting destroyed in the high inflationary environment.

Why does the Fed want to keep rates as low as possible? Their mandates are to provide price stability and maximize employment, not keep rates as low as possible. Unemployment is very low so they are doing well in terms of maximizing emplo

Spot on. Listen to the language the Fed uses and this is the clear answer, recently they have been saying things like "we still have a lot of work to do on inflation", "the banking sector is resilient", etc.
