In an ideal world the Fed would not "set" any rates - it would be up to the market. However, the risk is there could be more volatility on the short end without the Fed 'anchor'. A compromise might be to greatly increa

The dot plot indicates they want the funds rate around 3.75% by end of 2023 and over 3% by start of 2023. There is absolutely no reason to do 75 today, 75 next month and 50s the rest of the 2022. That pattern is actually more shocking than

I was a kid during both oil shocks of the 1970s. That has absolutely nothing to do with my driving. What does, and not just for driving, is the family taught cultural value of 'don't be wasteful'. So unlike so many people t

Ridiculous that the Fed doesn't just raise 200bp and be done. They could have done this six months ago (call it 250bp then) if they truly believe that the level of interest rates will have a material effect on the inflation rate. The

From late 1990 until around 1997 I had a full feed via UUNET and ran cnews locally on my pc with cnews and trn for reading. It wasn't long before I had to scale back and drop all the binary groups and eventually others. IIRC a full f

My mid-80s starting salary out of college with a BA was $25K - pretty good at the time and order $70K today. That $3K in the 80s would be 1/8th of my annual salary. Most people would consider that a very large expenditure and not som

Not all major(ish) colleges are an arm and leg the way the Ivy's and some other upper crust/common names are. Certainly there are many very good state institutions at relatively reasonable cost/value. Michigan State is ord

There are a lot of other areas of physics, some even involving the use of colliders, that are in better position and value to make discoveries that either advance our understanding and/or have applied/commercial application. One e

To be fair, unless you were hired as remote only then the salary you had negotiated before factored these work related costs into your total real compensation. Back in the not so distant day when most were office dwellers, when considering

IIRC they said that the state of Florida did not actually provide a list of the rejected titles so no way to verify the state claims. Knowing past history of these types of things in other states I doubt there is much to hang a hat on.

There are deer on Staten Island, not really the suburbs. Unfortunately the only real predators left to take down deer are hunters and cars. People (often hunters) even freak out if a dog chases one.
