Have you heard any blowback from maga politicians - I've seen guys try and then immediately pull in the horns - this is a BIG WIN
ForeignSubstance ✅@plutus @johnserwach @rubecube12 I think the biggest win here is that Republicans dare not fuck with the "debt ceiling" right now. Biden should be publicly flogging this issue at the moment. He should be *burying* them. But he's not.
@plutus @johnserwach @rubecube12 The message should be: Look, your easing of bank regs in '18 setup a near catastrophe. We cannot afford to play Russian Roulette here. Raise the ceiling NOW.
John Serwach ✅@plutus @ForeignSubstance @rubecube12
That is probably not the best way to handle it as the media could spin it so many ways, plus it causes a loss of face. Best to do it privately.
Daniel Rubin ✅@plutus @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
Its on Congress to raise the debt ceiling. I'd republicans don't want to pass a clean bill and was cut spending into a recession. That's on them. I'd rather go into default and not pay their constituents who own all the bonds and stocks. We'll pay for Medicare instead. Or they can be grown ups and pass a clean budget bill and clean debt ceiling increase
@johnserwach @plutus @ForeignSubstance
The era of austerity is over. No budget cuts coming
@rubecube12 @plutus @ForeignSubstance they will@increase the debt ceiling- the pressure behind the scenes is growing.
I wonder if that loser is still planning on staying on “higher for longer” island 🙄
@ForeignSubstance @johnserwach @plutus
TLT won't drop below 3%
@plutus @ForeignSubstance @rubecube12
I don’t know if I ever shared this with you guys, I first read it about 30 years ago, in an old weathered copy of, jama - maybe ? Read at your own risk, and please don’t lean against any machinery—
@rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @plutus
Quite possibly the exact opposite of the feeling I had!!
@ForeignSubstance @plutus @rubecube12
Fortunately Dan, since everyone is going to be having children (per your theory) there should be no need for this drug !!
@plutus @ForeignSubstance @rubecube12
Alright- let’s play a game—- guess who?
@johnserwach @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance
This is a winning strategy?

San Francisco board open to reparations with $5M payouts
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Payments of $5 million to every eligible Black adult, the elimination of personal debt and tax burdens, guaranteed annual incomes of at least $97,000 for 250 years and homes in San Francisco for just $1 a family. These were some of the more than 100 recommendations made by a city-appointed reparations…
@plutus @ForeignSubstance @rubecube12
Hugely popular in the African American community I would think!
@plutus @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
China in deep recession. They have no money. War with Taiwan off the table
@rubecube12 @plutus @johnserwach War is almost never economically logical in the first place, so I don't know how much confidence I have in this claim.
@ForeignSubstance @plutus @rubecube12
The 🇺🇸’s ability to destroy anything on the face of the globe is unrivaled in history save for the wrath of God. That’s the greatest deterrence- also a bit hubristic. Nevertheless that would be the only cost that is too high to bear.
@ForeignSubstance @plutus @johnserwach
They will be Austria or Russia in world War 2. If they go to war. War when economically weak leads to revolution
@johnserwach @plutus @ForeignSubstance
World war 1 i mean
@ForeignSubstance @rubecube12 @plutus
Do you think Germany was economically strong in WW2 ?
@plutus @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance
LOL - they were drowning in reparations payments - they created MEFO bonds —-
@johnserwach @plutus @rubecube12 How not to run a war: Discourage/prevent women from working in armaments or fighting, while your enemy w/ a larger pop base does the opposite. Use slave labor that has to be monitored constantly less it sabotage. Constantly obsess over the specs of armored vehicles (tanks) with an average life of only days to a week.
@johnserwach @plutus @rubecube12 Soviets built tanks with transmissions only expected to work for ~500 km +/-. Nazis built theirs to last ~50K km, even though the average tank in battle never drove 100 km before it was killed. Avg Soviet tank died w/in ~16 *hours once a battle began.
@plutus @ForeignSubstance @rubecube12
Maybe but- They had a helluva run for the first 4-5 years tho.
