Check out Serpent Queen. It's the girl-power-scheming-medieval-court-drama that HoD wishes it was. No dragons I guess, but they were hardly in HoD either.

Yep! Count of Monte Cristo is known as a long read but it was originally serialized. You can kinda tell too, the plot meanders a couple times. Nonetheless extremely entertaining, I'd highly recommend.

I have avoided voice assistant stuff almost entirely. I can't fathom what I would want it for. Then I house-sat for someone with a fully-connected google home. Turning on/off/dimming lights by voice and playing stuff on Spoti

The market for treasuries would exist exist without theed, since they're issued by the treasury. Why not set a limited quantity of dollars and have that be that, or a quantity that strictly grows at some pre-defined and predictable rat

Right, I think we're on the same page here. My underlying assertion is that the overall policy impact is more prevalently phenomena like your last paragraph than the first three. Surely the policymakers have observed or predicted this

The FOMC is a planning committee. Even if you keep your hands out of all the other parameters of industry, setting benchmark rates dictates what kinds of businesses succeed. It's like a string that all the other strings on the marionet

Yes, that. Not sure how the market for FF would work since that's not impacted by OMO, but I'm sure there'd be a way to just 'leave it to the market'.

Can you point me in the direction of something that explains the mechanics of how the FFR determines (prior to market sentiment) the rest of the yield curve? I know they do, but most explainers stop at that.
