Re: Bond Yields and Withdrawal Rates
This a good time to buy bonds, but inflation is going to be persistently higher too. And we're in a deflationary world with a savings glut/surplus. ie why are you loaning anyone money? what are they going to do with it - that you cant - to add value.

Re: On Appeasement in Ukraine with Reference to Exceptionalism
Putin may be smart and a swell guy, but politicians with no term limits are inexorably corrupted through blackmail and bribery. Includes US senators. No one actually likes Biden. Lee Kuan Yew may be the rare benevolent dictator, but even he had to pass power to his son.

Re: TLT cracks $90
The Fed could increase the money supply (eg) 20% every year and buy all the treasuries to keep them at zero rate(?) Rates for other bonds would rise to over 20% (private lenders wont lend below inflation) but Fed could buy them too. Could they keep all rates near zero forever? (No I suppose new comp...

Needs to be easier for people to move to lower cost-of-living areas. Feds should subsidize movers and manage a national jobs database. No minimum wage = no unemployment.

The more indictments the better, to provoke Trump's base and take votes from DeSantis. Ron actually does things, eg migrants to Obamas house.
