@NickTimiraos Treasury Secretary doesn’t set the budget, Congress does. Bessent just gets stuck paying it with interest when they choose to run deficits for decades.
@BobEUnlimited@Chartfest1 1996 was the sixth straight year in the internet boom. It lasted 3 more years up. 9-11 and a wartime footing made the downturn a lot worse.
@commbankerguy Young people used to dream of being in a band. Music was a big part of culture. Now they want to be influencers and the social timeline is the culture. Music’s not important to what should be the new generation of creators.
@BillShanks Nobody’s beating the Dodgers with that roster and staff, it’ll be 3 straight for them. AA chose not to trade the future and the Braves will be better positioned after a new CBA is negotiated next year so the Dodgers can’t just outspend everybody.
@rev_cap The oil price has been fake since OPEC limited production a few decades ago to artificially drive up the price and cartels in most industries are illegal. So do you believe price is truth or not?
@Biohazard3737@monaco_biotech If the Fed eases some more. Remember after the Asian summer meltdown and LTCM blowup in ‘98 the Fed cut 3 times to keep it going a couple more years. I was thinking more like 1996, we’re only 4 years in
@BillShanks Braves farm system has been a shadow of its former self. No help there. Theres some hope in Class A. International development has crashed. Poor drafts. There’s a reason the Braves have the oldest roster in MLB.
@Rajatsoni What’s the math behind a a round number like a million? Why not $625,344. Bitcoin is already up millions of percent in its 17 years. Dollar has lost 35.5% purchasing power over 17 years according to AI. Hasn’t the debasement story been front run?
@BillShanks The farm system has gone downhill. Not a single guy that’s good could be brought up to help with injuries. Being cheap in free agency can’t coexist with a barren farm and maintain the Braves standard since the Bobby Cox days.
