It’s not QE.
It absolutely is not and you’re correct to make the distinction.
Stout is right that the buybacks are a deliberate effort to support/suppress long yields and that dismissing them as pure non-QE “liquidity” underplays the policy intent and market perception. He is imprecise if they treat it as equivalent to Fed QE money-printing. It is a real but limited debt-management tool being used more forcefully; the bigger problems of deficits, debt stock, and interest costs remain.
Stout is a great poster who has the eye over the target. The only problem, tech could, could, go on a boom like we’ve never seen before. We are on a frontier, space privatization will be a huge boom. Once we start mining asteroids…..our grandkids could very well be doing that.

I actually follow Hank’s life story now as a tale of caution. He could have been banging 9’s and 10’s and married a British dime, settled down and built an easy life based off good charity work while still living a dream life. Decided that was too easy and took on a public charity case as a wife. Dude isn’t too smart.

Solution would've been for city leaders to be proactive to have gotten federal money during the Biden administration which would've been more friendly towards New Orleans when they were doling out a trillion for infrastructure projects.
Exactly this. Or if the city leadership didn’t piss away any good graces from the state, team up with our state and lean on our state’s congressional leadership (one of the strongest it’s ever been in the history of our state) and get a federal earmark to tear this safety issue down. It’s become a liability.
But no, instead city leadership would rather fight the state because they are one side of a political aisle that they cannot allow to exist, and cannot work together to solve real problems that affect the city.
If the new mayor was really fighting for the city, she’d be meeting with Landry and scalise and the speaker of the house to get this safety issue dealt with. That’s strong leadership. Putting aside your differences for the good of your city.
Both mmt and real austrian economists are both correct on certain points. The US needs to have their hands in the world, that’s what world powers do. Letting the world fester is, unfortunately, not a responsible approach.
The US debt is large, but compared to our peers we aren’t terrible. Russia’s is low but their economy is shockingly small, they just have a ton of nukes. Chinas isn’t as bad as the US, but they have an extremely large demographic problem. Their one child policy is going to destroy their country in 30 years.
Europe is lost for at least ten more years, probably 20.

You idiots don’t understand business incentive structures to help lure in investments, what this project does for the local tax base, nor do you understand that industrial water usage is within normal industrial water usage means.
Manufacturing, chemical plants, refineries, steel production all have high demands. Yet tools in this state, who would probably be happy with any of those industries coming in, can’t understand the context of industrial water usage as it pertains to major projects.
Same goes for power.

Still don't know why Landry is playing this game with Moreno and preventing her from issuing bonds.
This isn’t a game, you do not issue bonds to cover operating expenses.
You do not take out 15-20 year debts to pay for 6-8 months of expenses.
This is basic government spending 101.
The state bond commission already approved a $125 million bond for the city in 2025. New Orleans can balk at the state, but the state has helped, the city needs to start acting like an adult and not a teenager with a credit card.

Hours and hours of mesovorticies. Our house was wrecked for years. Thankfully we didn’t have any insurance issues. It just took forever to fully rebuild.
Out of power for 19 days. But, considering it looked like a giant tornado ripped through our area, I was impressed at the 19 days.

We are loosing something like 17% of its vls tubes in 4 years due to current timeline retirements.
Hopefully the drone ships come online as scheduled as by roughly 2038, we can potentially increase our current amount but 15-20%.

Plenty of people plead the 5th under advice of their legal counsel. Trump and his old pal Epstein have done it plenty of times.
This is a terrible take as he has a pardon. He cannot plead the 5th with that pardon. Accepting a federal pardon is an act that sets forth certain rules he must obey, which he didn’t. There is already documentation of his perjury on his earlier testimony. Congress lacks the courage to charge people with perjury. I wonder if their backbone starts growing now. A lot of our problems are Congress not having a backbone on anything.
There is also shaky ground on his answering some opening questions, then pleading the 5th once he is asked further questions on those subjects. He can plead the 5th on the outset of those questions (layman’s terms here so it may not be exact).
re: Musk plans massive push for GOP in midterms
Posted by Junky on 7/29/26 at 10:20 pm to whereishobson
bullshite. Nothing is in jeopardy. The Marxist commies claiming to be Democrats have less than 2 million dollars for the mid terms. Besides the fact that they are broke. They are liberal commie Marxist assholes and no one with a hint of brain activity would vote theirselves into chains.
I wouldn’t be so cocky. The democrats have a history of pulling in money and paying off their massive debts by the billionaires they claim to hate. They’ll also funnel money through other means, but that’s been hampered somewhat if the USAID exposures recently.

re: Ireland in 2 days
Posted by Junky on 7/26/26 at 6:51 pm to slinger1317
There is a lot to do and you couldn’t go wrong with any of the recommendations.
I’d say Galway as it’s not a bad drive from Dublin. Galway is heavy Gaelic as well. Cliffs aren’t too far. You could venture north along the west coast.
Killarney and you could see the rock of Kashel on the way. Maybe squeeze dingle as it is beautiful. Killarney is a bit further.
Kensale is beautiful too. But not too much going on besides food and the fort. Which are great.
Doing both is a lot of driving.
Ireland is an overlooked country to visit but I’ve really enjoyed the experience.
