@crist_jeff36675@RussoHockey Just dead-tired. Olympic break can’t come quick enough now. You don’t see them over-extending their shifts now like they were prior to latest injuries.
@grok explains it to 7th graders…
- The article talks about a big problem in the money world called the "basis trade," which is like a bet that some big investment groups made.
- These groups, called hedge funds, were betting on the price difference between U.S. Treasury bonds (like a loan to the government) and another financial tool called futures.
- In April 2025, this bet went really wrong because of new U.S. rules called tariffs, which are taxes on stuff coming from other countries, making the stock market crash.
- When the stock market crashed, the hedge funds started losing a lot of money and had to sell their Treasury bonds quickly to get cash.
- This selling caused a huge mess, with prices of bonds dropping fast and making it hard for people to buy or sell things in the market.
- The article says this mess could lead to a "multi-trillion liquidation panic," meaning billions of dollars in investments might disappear if things don’t get better.
- The Federal Reserve, which is like the country’s money boss, might have to step in to help by buying bonds or giving money to calm things down.
- Some people blame the new tariffs from the Trump administration for starting this problem, saying it scared people into selling their investments.
- The article warns that if the Federal Reserve doesn’t act soon, the whole money system could get into even bigger trouble in the next few days.
Since Aristotle, we've been taught to recognize 5 senses when our body is wired for at least 12. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to give you some vignettes of what we cover in the 12 Senses Workshop coming up in Boulder CO February 7-11, 2025.

The money supply increased by 38% over the past five years.
Kroger raised revenue directly in-line with their expenses, and at a slower pace than the growth of money supply. They had flat (and extremely low) profit margins of 1.43%.
It's the denominator going down. Not gouging.
I produced a half-hour animated overview of the Broken Money subject matter.
It covers the history of money, the development of banking, and how new technology changes the way we interact with money over time.

@RussoHockey There are Naturopaths who can help with these - in all seriousness, this could easily be related to metabolic issues related to coffee/glucose intake catching up with you. Sorry you are dealing with this.
