Desperation Mounts in Indiana After 10 Days Without Power

Meanwhile J Pritzker - has the lights on in Illinois

Indiana got hit a lot worse, plus presumed democrats in NW IN kept shooting out transformers and substations so they could loot under cover of darkness. Dozens of state troopers had to be sent to Gary area to get things under control.

bond yields fell following the Treasury Department’s announcement of an increased buyback operation for longer-term debt.

Translation- they’re gonna try to print money to keep yields down. Wonder what Custard, who thinks yields are low enough and inflation isn’t bad, thinks about printing up half a trillion to stoke inflation?


A small buyback program does not expand the money supply or demand in a way that would drive inflation higher. It’s not quantitative easing, buybacks use existing cash and this is a small scale buyback regardless.

The Fed funds rate isn’t even a stat

Consumer interest tracks much closer to the 10 year bond and its yield hasn’t changed nearly as much as the 30

Government bonds are under pressure from a wave of new corporate debt, including tech firms focused on artificial intelligence. Tech companies are issuing debt to fund the buildout of AI infrastructure, and those bonds are competing with government bonds for investors’ attention. Less demand for government bonds pushes prices lower, which pushes yields higher.

“Hyperscaler borrowing to fund AI infrastructure is competing for the same pool of buyers at the same moment governments need those buyers most,” Nigel Green, CEO at deVere Group, said in a note. “Crowd two urgent borrowers into one market and the price of patience goes up for everybody.”

Thanks, Big Tech assholes!

That’s not the 30 year numb nuts

You mean your cherry picked stat that you must point to because none of the other ones agree with you?

Custard likes to post the stats of a close out sale on month old eggs..

The only number that matters?

The 30 year treasury at 5.31% - the highest it’s been since before 9/11

That’s certainly not the only number that matters and it’s not even historically high. More of an equalization of some historical lows since 2008 and 2020. Definitely not an emergency.

Yet oddly no one can produce a quote saying we won…

I said we had seriously degraded their military capabilities across the board and fact checked myself before posting that. The best they can do these days is fire a flurry of mostly ineffective older missiles or drones every once in a while.

I filled up for $3.39 today. 😱

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/foreign-holdings-of-us-treasuries-fall-in-june-led-by-japan-uk-china-data-shows/ar-AA2ak4Td

Foreign holdings of U.S. Treasuries slid in June, data from the Treasury Department showed on Monday, led by declines in holdings from Japan, the UK and China.

Holdings of U.S. Treasuries slipped to $9.299 trillion in June from $9.371 trillion in the previous month. But compared with a year earlier, Treasuries owned by foreigners were up 2.3%.



It is all going great!!!!


There’s nothing particularly alarming about anything in this article.

Hayden Panettiere. Couldn’t save the cheerleader. The world is doomed.

I’d never even heard of her

I heard low and middle income people are splurging on things like Internet, air conditioning, Casey's pizza, and Marie Callender's frozen dinners.

I guess luxuries are just considered basic necessities now

Everything isn’t objectively “so bad right now” and if it is for you (short of a disability or tragedy) then you probably suck at life
