Good for you. Sometimes we see humor in strange places.

I don't see how calling some of these Central American countries "shitholes" is in our best interests, or theirs either. Thank goodness for President Biden's wise reassembling of our State Department. Now, once again, the U.S. State Department will work with Central American Governments of...

It's sickening to realize how this clown, Donald Trump, ripped of the American People. The people and the check are real. Did it get credited to Treasury's General Account at the Fed? Who knows? Other Presidents have donated their salaries to charities. Trump is the only one who has claimed...

Off course he did, all Presidents do when they pay their income tax. Didn't Trump pay at least a couple hundred in income tax during his Presidency? I think I read that somewhere. One of my favorite all time Trump lies, and there are an endless number, occurred when he told is assembled...

I think this is an extremely bad idea. But why not let El Salvador test the idea and see what happens. My condolences to the good folks of El Salvador. But they at least have the U.S. Dollar to fall back on; not the best situation either. Not because there is anything wrong with the dollar...

Wow. Thank you. I always wanted to look at the rate of trades going of, as I had this idea that at the beginning of a significant change in price direction there might be, in general, a burst of trades. I never got to test the idea though, and I seldom trade short term now. But I did not know...

The answer to that is obvious. It's because the rest of us are not so ignorant of the science and so easily swayed by mis- and disinformation as you. Scientific knowledge can be used for good or evil. Shall we just hang a black shroud over the Periodic Table and bury our heads in the sand? If...

This is a bit off the subject, but related to changes in the time axis anyway. I would like to see the rate of ticks (transactions) per unit time that accompanies a standard tick or price chart. Of course when the rate of transactions picks up one will see more tick bars printing per time ...

It is both more interesting, and more valid to look at the debt per capita, but this could still be misleading as the per capita numbers should be corrected for other factors, including per capita income. When your look at the uncorrected debt per capita you arrive at CA 9K , TX 2K, FL 1K.

This is not a reflection on you. You believe what most Americans believe. However the Economists who's area of expertise is Money Theory and Central Bank-Treasury operation would say that the U.S. can not go bankrupt in anything like the conventional sense, and it has no "National Debt". I am...

I've been sometimes guilty of the same. We could probably avoid confusion by saying "deflation" when we are talking about negative inflation and otherwise just refer to a rise or decline in the inflation rate.

Apparently that's not true, assuming what Eric Trump and others associated with the Trump organization have said is truthful, which I realize is always a stretch when dealing with Trumps, especially Donald. Other people too have contributed informed tidbits. I recommend being patient however...

We should remind ourselves that although less inflation is deflation relative to previous inflation it is still, usually, positive inflation. What economies that fuel themselves with credit, such as the U.S. economy, can not tolerate is significant negative inflation caused by a broad based...

Only participants in a Grand Jury investigating Trump, assuming one exists, will know for certain the answer to your question, but enough has leaked that people are willing to make very educated guesses. See, for example gwb's post above. For the final outcome, you'll have to wait. And if there...

Perhaps, but it might be wise to wait for the outcomes of the current New York Grand Juries, before concluding this. Trump is probably right now in the greatest peril with regard to potential criminal prosecution he has ever been in. Up to now his violations have been civil, and he could buy...

Educated guesses no doubt. There's been reams of uncomplimentary accounts, quite detailed in many cases, written about Trump's business and family affairs of questionable legality by those who knew, or know, him, including by his relatives and his former personal lawyer. He or his business has...

The public will not know these, if any, until, the Grand Juries finish their work. It could be Fall or early Winter before we know. Should be an "interesting" 2021 Winter for him.

"Broad based" price inflation does not necessarily mean that everything increases in price. There are often some exceptions.

Isn't Manchin quite wealthy. I doubt he needs a job. So it's a little hard to explain. Perhaps he doesn't want to welch on deals he's made and doesn't understand the danger the nation is in right now.

Seems like Texas Democrats may be finally learning from Moscow Mitch that they too can play the disruption game.
