No surprise that Linda McMahon previously ran & failed as a GOP candidate and is now in the GOP executive committee/group. Her husband used to own the WWE before that alleged degenerate sexual behavior lawsuit. The WWE, who "somehow" was able to convince regulators that the professional wrestlers they controlled via signed contracts were not employees but subcontractors & thus didn't have to worry about expenses like Worker's Compensation (like these entertainers who were also effectively stunt people never got hurt in the ring). Subcontractors, who weren't free to work for other organizations without approval of they were under contract.

You can bypass the paywall (and pretty much any other paywall) by going to this site:

archive.ph

create a copy of a webpage that will always be up

archive.ph

...and pasting in the link of the story you want to read. And here's a link to the now un-paywalled article:

Huh, there was weirdly no paywall for me

The answer is to look at wider time frames.

- Since April 4 the 10 yr is up 40 basis points (which in the real world means the US debt is 120 Billion dollars more expensive to maintain than it was)
- SPY is down 8 points in the last 30 days
- USD is down about 6% in the last month

Volatilty is what's for dinner on the daily, but the trends are telling us what's going on.

Bessent: The situation is untenable and we expect deescalation
Reasonable people asking reasonable questions: How?
Bessent: President Xi will cave to all of President Trump's demands, we expect this to happen soon
