Quite right. all suspect foreign ties and connections should be properly investigated.

Such a pity. Biden could have taken him out behind the bicycle sheds and beaten him to a pulp.

Fetterman will be an excellent senator. At least as good as some of the others currently in office. He should start preparing for a presidential run in 6 years.

Never ending nonsense. Surely now we know mortality rate and aggravating factors we can stop treating Covid like the plague?

Close the borders and shut everything down. Things can only get worse. Etc.

I agree Dave. These are not good signs for crypto.

Twitter usage is apparently at an all time high. I have never used it and never want to. But the almighty ruckus Elong has caused has been fun to watch.

I hear Truth Social is pretty good.......

Now the whole world knows about my haemorrhoids :((

Japanese Government can surely print more yen to help these poor developing nations.

These people are totally insane. BoJ will buy all the bonds. No way out for Japan except inflation or economic chaos

Full circle. Last 100 years have been an aberration in mankindś relationship with THC.

Good idea. Letś print more money

Thatś how democracy works. Parties come, parties go. Incumbency is tough as you are usually blamed for whatever is ailing the voters.

All hot air. He knows that any first strike by him would bring his downfall.

I await the results of the next election with bated breath. Will be fascinating to see where the whining is loudest.

Kind of pointless. not sure what the message is..... Take that, dead artist!!!!

4% still not enough. And I don think that the Fed has either the ability or the cojones to do much more.

What a bombshell announcement. When we expected them to say that they are changing tack.

This whole ẗhreat to democracy thing feels a little bit overdone. Democracy seems to be carrying on regardless of the rhetoric. over the last many years

I am, however, constantly amazed at just how unconvincing and inept Biden appears to be when he makes a speech. He could make you believe anything if he says the opposite.

My gosh! Poor him. Ended up being a bit of a hard landing.

Hong Kong will never be the same again after the last almost 3 years of Covid madness and the ongoing political repression from PRC.

Indeed. Professor Moriarty lives!

Close the borders. Lock things down. Issue more proclamations. This is serious.

More insanity. Admission of the total misguidedness of their policies over the last decades.

Not a particularly inspiring General. Bit Milley Vanilley to watch. He is still fretting about the morals of his army and doing little or nothing to reassure the world that America is back (!!??).

The Fed is to some extent forced to print money if the government continues with huge deficits. Only way to fund the deficit is to print the money and buy the bonds. Not enough private demand for treasuries when the Fed is artificially manipulating the interest rates to keep debt service cost low. One reason why their bluster about raising rates can only go so far - maybe 4%? Above that the US budget becomes unsustainable, with debt service eating something like 30% of tax revenues.

So even if the Fed doesn't take its marching orders from the WH (a big if, but....) they are still forced to print.

and money printing = inflation = rising prices.....

This article is just ridiculous. Who is even asking this question?

Less Guinness and less sake for the Russians. Soon they will be begging for peace.

He is a big star in a big movie. and it is set in Japan. Seems newsworthy to me, at least by the standards of modern media.

BP has done some good stuff (including AJ)....
