It is not waves we are looking at jem. It is the per capita rate of infection that has remained remarkably low even through "waves" for an unvaccinated nation.

The masks worn in Japan were cloth. The data suggests that these masks worked to suppress Covid transmittance. There can be little doubt the N95 masks are better still. But the data suggests cloth masks are a valuable deterrent of respiratory disease transmittance when compliance approaches...

I don't know what time zone you're in but it is very late here. I have finished my work for the night. Am tired and going to bed. Have a nice night, and try not to project. There is no need for you to be defensive, you can be very good at what you do and still not have a clue about money theory.

I very much like that as a definition of "Moral Hazard". Thank you for starting this thread.

I don't know what this means , but as long as you do I guess everything is good.

see wrbtrader's nice post immediately above. it seems that holds the answers you seek.

You probably know but have just forgotten that the official funds rate is simply the fed target but the actual rate on individual overnights varies slightly about the target.

I guess you didn't realize I am not trading fixed income for banks. So that I wouldn't last long at it is not much of a concern for me personally. The knowledge one needs to trade successfully particular financial instruments is specialized knowledge, and whether it is based on correct ideas...

I haven' a clue. Do you? Wouldn't you have to have data and facts to be qualified to take a stab at a question like this?

I don't have great answers to either of these questions, particularly the latter. Regarding the second question, I think the only reliable guide any of us will have are the FOMC minutes. But doesn't it make sense that if we watch the official measures of inflation and we see inflation is...

I think one on my minor points in my original post that started this conversation was that you can be successful in banking or trading and not have a clue about the inner detailed workings of the fed or the Treasury. I admire your success, but I do wish you could take the time to catch up on...

Just a few hopefully short replies. I am confident you'll correct me if in any way I am wrong here. I don't believe a said the fed and the Treasury are one in the same. I said they are coordinated operations (separate of course) that appear as one giant operation when you view their...

I invite you to read my relevant post in the Economics Forum in the thread entitled, "Tapering - 'Canary in the Mine?' " started by kmiklas.

So long as population and productivity grows we will have to accommodate that growth by printing some more money. Otherwise the economy will stagnate and then ultimately be thrown into recession and deflation. This is an unavoidable consequence of using fractional reserve banking to grow both...

There is no federal debt, so what debt are you speaking of.

You're not delusional but neither do you understand correctly composite Fed and Treasury operation. The true nature of these operations are non-obvious because Fed Treasury operations appear to be something they are not. Those who have made a detailed study of Fed-Treasury interaction and the...

Thanks!

very interesting thanks. What is that site? It seems very reasonable. I think it is highly likely Biden will step down after four years. And highly unlikely Trump will even run, let alone win. However LS1Z28 has it correct that history would predict the Party out of power picking up seats...

But I wasn't responding to a post of yours regarding mask wearing. Naturally I thought what you wrote was in response to my post Re the damage done by Trump in not accepting the Election Results. Since that is what you Quoted! Is this what you wrote? Then my response remains the same. Looks...

Japan removes all three.
