The Fed doesn’t take direction from any president.  Trump might have told them to fuck off, but they still did whatever they liked.

The Fed didn’t raise rates because they felt the economy was growing at a good rate.  It had nothing to do with what Trump said.
That’s naive. I never said there was a direct reporting line on an org chart. I said the Fed is influenced by politics. Prove me wrong.

The NASCAR boys were at Road America and the track was filled with campers and spectators.  Same thing the weekend before at Pocono.

I hope these people are enjoying having their freedom back enough to never buy into a lock down again.
My brother was at Road America for the Indy race on Father’s Day. He said the same thing.

By the way I flew just to the south of Road America. There was a TFR but I wasn’t sure it was active so I stayed outside of it. If you zoom in the road track is towards the top of the picture.

We've become the Weimar Republic.  What did they do to solve that problem?

Why hasn't the Fed raised Interest Rates yet?

Stan?
I’m not an economist, but the Fed has become super political, on both sides.

History would say that Trump’s explosive economy deserved some rising rates to cool the growth, and I think Trump properly told the Fed to fuck off and leave rates low.

Now, with inflation growing, there is some incentive to keep rates low, but that’s not sustainable.

I’ve heard a few economists say rates with rise in the 2nd half of 2022. Right in time for the 2022 elections.

Image posting hint. Add a width attribute to the IMG tag to control the sizing. Inside the opening brackets, it should say.   IMG width=800     Example



The number can be anything you want, this one is 500

Many have already had Covid (myself included) and our bodies immunity system takes care of the rest.   No need to get an experimental vaccine.   

But hey, you know, “the science” and all. 

 BTW, many people who have been vaccinated are getting Covid anyway, but not many reports of people getting Covid a second time. 

The Branch Covidians are salivating over the “delta variant” and are praying we can get yet another round of lockdowns, masking, social distancing and of course “stimulus payments”, and the megalomaniac leader Pope Tony is leading the charge.   He misses his limelight of being the media darling. 

 Sydney Australia has just introduced yet another draconian lockdown.
The Subjects of the Crown across the globe all seem perfectly willing to allow their freedoms to be taken away by their MPs and PMs.

Fuck that. I don’t think America will stand for that again. We are virtually back to normal in Wisconsin (intransigent teachers unions and university regents notwithstanding) and I don’t see us going back to being subjected to governmental terrorists any more.

Come to OSH in 3 weeks if you want to feel normal again.

True.  That is why I said:
But that shouldn't stop us from promoting any positive change we can.  Education is the best investment we can make in our country.  Perhaps instead of spending a half trillion dollars on physical infrastructure, we should spend that on education.
That’s EXACTLY what the blue state, big city teachers unions are saying. You know, the ones where 60% of the HS grads can’t read or write up to a 6th grade level. Sure, we can’t produce grads, but you have to give us more money.

Please let me know how more money will make dropping out of school culturally unacceptable, or how teachers can quell the violence in their own classrooms so that the motivated kids can get an education without fearing for their lives on a daily basis, or how parents will begin to give a shit whether their kids succeed or fail.

Now you won't have that nasty old SWAT Rapid Response Team to kick around any more.  And your streets will be even safer for protestors, rioters and looters.

I have never seen the US leave a G7 or any of these summits weaker and more ineffective than when this one ended.

In less than 150 days he has empowered Putin and China, and effectively reignited the Cold War.

Thats roughly $38K person Chinese scientist if those numbers are right.  Doesn't sound like much of a salary for someone with a PhD.
Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit, is it, Sport? 

Do you know the difference between income and expense?  A salary is an expense. Tuition and fees are income.

“University officials note that banning Chinese nationals who participate in research could slow scientific progress and result in untoward economic consequences. The 360,000 Chinese nationals who come to the US for graduate studies or postdocs contribute about $14 billion to academic institutions, largely from tuition and other fees, Reuters reports. “

"Science" is now the State Religion.

Oppose it and you will be ostracized. Stake-burning later.
Well except for the chromosome and gender thing. In that case the State Religion turns its back on science so people don’t get their feelings hurt.

So how, precisely, does climate change cause people to want to cross 2-3 countries illegally to get on our welfare rolls? 

Politicians are literally the stupidest people in America.
