FED Bends over again and drops rate to 0% like Pussies

[tsfx]

Lol, what am i bluffing about ?

The American right is getting "facts" the rest of us are working through massive amounts of garbage created by morons who get all their news from a couple of sources (Fox, Breitbard.. Infowars) and of course Facebook.

hence, my quote: "The retardedness of everyone is beyond anything. You should really buy antidepressants instead of toilet paper. Social media + regular media has hiked the anxiety levels in recent years like never before."

This wasn't directed at you, i was referring to the retardedness of the masses with leveraged anxiety problems in the last decade thanks to the world of social media.

The US? with guys like you about? I read a comment by a seppo last night where he said he.

A. Would die for his president Trump.
B. Would rescind his US citizenship if Trump implemented a travel ban internally in the US, because you know, freedom and muh muh!.

What's your point with this ? Where was i disagreeing about the trumpster idiots ? This trumpster protectionism shit has spread across the world, in my country too (I'm from Europe btw).

I'm well aware of the stats. My point was to give reasonable arguments of how this can unfold in the near future using current stats about other countries as well the logical argument about seasonality. 60% of the american population to get infected is a bold statement, so i guess we'll have to see for ourselves.

The good thing about idiots is that given the heard-like behaviour, it could actually be easier to contain and unite them under strict rules/guidance (that is ultimately what they desire, that someone is making a decision for themselves). Things get out of hand when situation is taken loosely. People misjudge the shutdown thinking that the end of the world is coming which makes them magically crave for toilet paper.

You are a complete fucking moron. In the last post you said that Bernie or Biden would have stopped the virus in Wuhan.
You have to be a special brand of fucking retard to say something like that and mean it.

Did I? or did the voices in your head say that. You did not read what I wrote and you are off shouting a Clint's chair again little man.

What’s zero percent on a negative ten return?

Y’all got to understand we were supposed to be raising interest rates and reducing debts. Instead we were raising debts and reducing interest rates under Trump.

The fed can only expand the balance sheet right now. Dropping interest rates won’t make a difference at this point, they would have to go negative to make a difference.

It’s turtles all the way down now.

In 2004 I noticed my home value had doubled in one year. I expected the Fed would raise rates like they had always done when housing overheated. Nothing...

The Fed stopped being the Fed. Its a degenerative feedback loop and you have to raise rates when conditions demand it only we stopped doing it decades ago. Now when liquidity may be needed they don't have control authority over the system. The only thing the Fed can do is buy bonds and they are doing that frantically.

Presidents all do the same bonehead thing. By the time they are inaugurated and have been briefed that they do not even control the throttle of the economy they all want one thing. Low rates and damn the torpedos. Well Trump is holding the bag now when the fecal matter is hitting the rotating ventilation device.

In other financial news I have figured out to buy extra flour and cooking oil at the store and trade it to the barcas for fish.

Massive spending on stupid pet projects, pressuring the fed against raising rates, corporate tax cuts that were not needed, ballooning the debt & triggering buybacks, & to put the cherry on the top of the shit bubble, dropping the ball on a major black swan event & downplaying as "no big deal".

Dude, most of this was in place under Obama. Where was your outrage then?
