LegendKeymasterTo be fair, it’s actually smart advice. You don’t eff with the Chinese on Chinese soil. You have no rights. At all.

LegendKeymasterI haven’t read the science, but I think the stock response right now is that it’s still the vaccine reluctant citizens.

LegendKeymasterUnfortunately I have a hard time seeing this sort of embarrassment as partisan. The parties both run governments that are failing in this category and have been for years.
The politicians just don’t garner a lot of votes for directing cash to rusted girders under bridges that still “work” when they can direct that cash to teachers or police unions. Sad fact.

LegendKeymasterI was in SF last summer and passed a storefront that had a placard out front that said “We love drug addicts.”
I thought it was a shame, and then realized so does Starbucks.

LegendKeymasterWe lost the thread on debt when the “modern monetary theorists” took over. Que the inflation.
I think it’s a long term disaster, but what is “long term” anymore? at a 7% inflation rate and 2% interest rate on the 10 yr t-bond, we pay back 60% of the value we borrow (discounting the principal at the net 5% rate per year). What? Me worry?
The real question is what geniuses are out there actually lending money to the U.S. at such a money-losing rate. The answer is “who knows?” because the fed and the treasury have mucked up any real signals for risk pricing.

LegendKeymasterExactly rj. None of this gets printed in any reputable paper 20 years ago. Reporters would have been expected to make a phone call or two.

LegendKeymasterI still think that there will be no broad based lockdowns because there will be no opposition party playing hardball politics to do them. The Dems sunk the economy with lockdowns in 2020 at least in part to gain political advantage (just like they let riots happen for the same that year). I don’t think it helps them to do it now.
Even Fauci has religion on the “inconvenience” of lockdowns suddenly.
