@ray_moishe After 9/11 did any condemnation also address the poor people of Afghanistan?
After the 2015 Paris attacks did any condemnation also address the poor people of Iraq and Syria?
Only when it comes to Israel people are so noble. I apologize but I’m not a big fan of hypocrisy.
@ray_moishe And if it were the other way around?
On a side note, I feel like you need to educate yourself about the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
And watching TikTok videos doesn’t count.
@ray_moishe Ray, my parents taught me this lesson a long time ago. I’ll use an analogy to explain it. Since you study at NU, I’m sure you’re smart enough to get it:
If I were to tell a friend during a gathering that I appreciate them, would that mean I don’t appreciate my other friends?
Important Thought Experiment
You’re in an arena with:
- 50 hawks
- 10 crocodiles
- 3 brown bears
- 15 wolves
- 1 hunter w/ rifle
- 7 buffalo
- 10,000 rats
- 5 gorillas
- 4 lions
Pick 2 to defend you. The others attack you. Goal is to survive 1 hour.
What do you pick and why?
@SahilBloom@thejustinwelsh Sounds great in theory, but at what point a “break” is replaced with laziness and procrastination? Of course, the answer is subjective, but everyone should have a framework for breaks because they are addictive. The guilt helps to keep pushing forward.
How do you include breaks?
We are near the end of this Interest rate (IR) hike cycle. Why? US Debt.
There is one more important thing to the Fed than stopping inflation and it's keeping the US solvent.
With IR at 4%, the US government's current interest payments (IP) run rate is ~$580B up from ~$400 YoY
This solution, of course, isn't helpful to all of this inflation situation... and I'd bet the Fed knows that. Therefore, my guess (which is as good as anyone's) is that IR would probably stay around 5% and be brought down at the first moment possible.
