I wonder which countries are selling Us treasuries in big numbers....China probably, but some are saying Japan is a forced seller

Probably us, probably Norway.

Really, everyone is going to at a minimum "rebalance" according to their risk profiles

Even that is underselling it. The US doesn't have the depth in expertise to do this anymore. You can't take kids who were trained to become computer scientists and turn them into machinists.

Basically, the US would spend trillions and need 20 years just to fail at the attempt.

tldr - sheer incompetence by the current regime

Fwiw, I think Jerome is buying treasuries to slow the bleeding.

This may be the most shocking news yet that's come out this week. The Trump Administration is ... on the right side of an issue!!!!

"fuck all you people enjoying beautiful sunny evenings all summer long and an hour of less darkness all winter long because i choose to walk dogs at 5 o'clock in the morning" is certainly a take.

daylight savings time is pretty irrelevant in actual summer - it really does not ever need to be light out until like 10 pm. days are long in summer cause we live kinda far north, not cause of some stupid extra hour we added.

and if we do permanent dst, some people will arrive at and depart from their offices in darkness. every single day. it's not 5 am - would be more like 8 or 9 am.

Wtf are you doing in Canada?

Move closer to the equator. You know your body is begging for it.

In Edmonton the sun hardly even fully sets in the summer. If drive-in movies were still a thing I'm not sure how you could manage it here unless the show started at midnight.

In the winter, we get about 6 hours of daylight max.

I do handle the heat better than most
