Forget Trump. Forget Iran and gas prices. This $h*t is serious.

All the signs are there for Americas Future (And the ripples will hit the rest of the world) Long term Treasury Bond yields are up.. "Big Deal". And it is.. The last time they were this high was (wait for it) 2007. In case that rings a bell, it was the start of the global financial crisis. And Frankly, the fundamentals in America were in much better shape then..Right now America is twice as deeply in debt to the world and has way less leverage and more skin in the game and is very vulnerable to a margin call..And Trump is at the helm. (The less said about that the better) The earthquake that Americas economy is about to suffer will send out Tsunamis everywhere. Some of those will hurt worse than others. But America will get by far the worst of it. [media=https://youtu.be/D4a3dYt-wHY]

@whowasthatmaskedman The day after bernie the red gives away half of what he has hoarded I'll buy into that bullschiff

Debt is outpacing spending and our spending actually needs to increase to cover the recent mistakes....I hate fuckin politics....and everyone hates me because I'm a moderate, they say I'm a no good fence sitter....but we need actual management grade super smart people to come in and properly run things - not a bunch of law school drop outs and failed business hacks...*ducks and runs* but whatever...

@fun4us2b An excellent summary is street language. But its too late for this to be managed. America is having to borrow to meet the interest payments on what it already borrowed. Place borrowing more just to get to the next budget.. And interest rates will rise further. Or inflation will drain the future value out of the $US. Those are the choices..😷

Bonds Are Getting Hammered, and Wall Street Says the Rout Won’t End Anytime Soon
With yields on 30-year U.S. Treasurys at 19-year highs, investors predict a new era in the bond market. And it looks a lot like 2007.

What will it take for the orange cumguzzlers to spit instead of swallow?

whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M

@trollslayer Sadly I think the terrorists are in control of the plane and locked in the cabin. Its too late to stop this..(And I dont think a change of government will do anythinng constructive at this point. Although Trump certainly sped things up)😷

Ai funds are sucking the life out of the system

whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M

@Convivial There is a whole thesis in that which has no place here and little to do with AI. Think the Dot com bubble..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman i am..
People are convinced it's the next big thing and don't want to miss out

whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M

@Convivial I agree. No one has worked out the profit proposition yet..A castle in the sky with no foundation..😷

Trump is uniquely bad, but there are so many problems that none of the presidents of the last twenty years have addressed.

whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M

@BohoBabe Exactly. This goes all the way back to Nixon, and there is plenty of blame on all sides..Its not about politics. The nation has been stuffing itself at the buffet for decades and the bill is arriving..😷

The software alerted you to the typo and you blew right past that notice in your continued zeal to be a false prophet blowhard. As I wrote you command being mocked periodically. @whowasthatmaskedman

@jackjjackson Sadly spellcheck doesnt work in SW for me.. But feel free to assume. I do make mistakes.. But I know my subject. If you get a subject one day you will be able to do something other than critique others with insults..😷

jackjjackson · M

It works for everyone you don’t have “special needs” software. It’s a dotted red line under the misspelling. Attempting to help you acquire common sense has been pointless and addressing nonsense isn’t worth the time required. @whowasthatmaskedman
