The difficulty is somewhat artificial. Their statements give away the game, namely their obsession with a "soft landing." Translation: an undue focus on securities markets and saving entities who'd made bad investments, i.e.,

By that metric, and it took quite a bit longer to get there than ideal. It's also still elevated historically and compared to FFR, all of which is a roundabout way of saying that inflation has and continues to destabilize the outlook.

I don't know what your definition for "ace" is, but I did pretty well. That was my peak. Ever since has been dealing with barrier after barrier, which often seem actively hostile. I suppose that some would chalk my failure up

Well, no. Not people. A person (who otherwise has lived a life of privilege and comfort). Because maybe he gets out, decides something like that should never happen to anyone in America again, and does whatever rich, connected people do t

An abbreviated version of the conspiracy theory is that FTX's tokenized stock, which were assumed to be backed 1:1 with actual share holdings, were used to hide some of the extremely large short positions that caused the the short sque

But you're likely wrong, per https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34812910 and the way that systemic change is often achieved after a prominent and influential figure is treated badly by a dysfunctional system or statu

On the contrary, I imagine that it would have been extremely effective to have SBF rot in prison for a little while. Things get fixed when rich people suffer. Strings get pulled; favors are called in; the person (or family of the deceased),

GP doesn't have any idea what he's talking about; he's clearly just fallen for the right-wing propaganda that puts Baltimore at the center of American ills, a la Chicago. Baltimore's public transit is quite decent, betwe

You didn't understand the issue and jumped to a conclusion not supported by the numbers. Verbal, philosophical, mathmatical.

I did a check of my municipality. 80% of the apartment complexes in the area use 3rd-party software of the like in question for their property management. Their capture of the market is likely sufficient to drive prices, which is why at lea

I see it as a form of a stand-alone complex. There are multiple companies engaging in this behavior, independently, but resulting in what resembles a concerted effort. However, for renters (and their representatives in government), the conc

You have it backwards. We DO grow by establishing new "small towns" (better known as "housing developments" or "mixed-use developments"). Increasing density in a way that resembles older "small town"

I think it would work better with a slight twist: set a reasonable score floor, run a lottery for everyone above it. Instead of giving the world to people who(se parents have paid to) optimize their studies to a particular test, everyone wh

This is a failure of mathematical (and, frankly, verbal and philosophical) understanding. If you have 10 arrests shared between 7 white men and 3 black, with 1 black man having allegedly offended 5 times and 5 white men having allegedly o

Oh, this one's easy. Trump's withdrawal is as much of a clusterf*ck as Biden's, it sours American appetites for more military adventure, scuttling a Ukraine campaign. Another fun exercise is to ponder how much - if any - infl

Ironically, this kind of post is your own attempt to hide from your responsibility as a member of a community and society that is setting up the wrong structures and incentives for people to naturally make the right decisions.
