Not Necessarily A Bad Thing

Take this “boo-hoo” story from the WSJ and change a few things.

Democrats argue for taxing wealth like work and are seeking to equalize the top rates on capital income and labor. But the line between rich investors and middle-class earners isn’t always so clear. Some, like Mr. Settle, fall into both categories.

“Wealth like work…” Change Mr. Settle and Bezos to “the Federal Reserve” and suddenly there’s a way to eliminate all debts, eliminate the Fed, and restore real money to the USSA. That, of course, will never happen – until after the USSA completely collapses. So, in just a decade or so, it will be very easy to get rid of the money-changers. Happy August.

Mighty big of them to at least admit what they’re causing.

The Consumer Price Index rise for April from a year earlier was the sharpest since September 2008.

Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for an increase of 3.6%.

One big reason for the acceleration was base effects – at this time a year ago, the economy was hit with the worst of the Covid pandemic and inflation was unusually low.

Federal Reserve officials see the current rise as temporary and not likely to influence policy.

Only temporary! Over soon! Pandemic!

Maybe the Israelis and Palestinians – all Amerikan and more Amerikan than you(!) – could take the party down to 100 Liberty Street. The Fed’s numbers are always cooked. So 4% inflation could easily mean 6-8%. But … I’m sure they have some brilliant plan. And where’s Sleepy Joe on all this? They could wake him with the great news that gas prices have stopped rising. You know, prices don’t matter when there’s zero supply!

Ah. Third-world Amerika…

The Fed Theory of Full Hoax Employment

This new revelation of fakery is riddled with admissions that the Fed-driven markets and system are fully delinked from reality.

Hiring was a huge letdown in April, with nonfarm payrolls increasing by a much less than expected 266,000 and the unemployment rate rose to 6.1% amid an escalating shortage of available workers.

Dow Jones estimates had been for 1 million new jobs and an unemployment rate of 5.8%.

Many economists had been expecting an even higher jobs number amid signs that the U.S. economy was roaring back to life.

There was more bad news: March’s originally estimated total of 916,000 was revised down to 770,000, though February saw an upward revision to 536,000 from 468,000.

The wheels on the hoax go round and round…

Your digital dollars will be in good hands, trust me. The banksters can’t even secure their own fiat funds line.

The US Federal Reserve announced Wednesday it is investigating a disruption to services including Fedwire, which facilitates trillions of dollars in wire transfers between institutions every day.

According to updates from the Federal Reserve, the massive disruption to services was caused by an “operational error”.

“We acknowledge that payment deadlines are impacted and will communicate remediation efforts to our customers when available. Thank you for your patience while we work to resolve the issue,” the institution said in an update on the situation.

As of 2.30pm Eastern Time Wednesday, almost all services – including Fedwire and FedACH, which allow numerous banks to transfer and receive billions in funds – were down, but several have since been restored.

You know if they’re announcing this little tidbit, then the real situation is much worse. A flip of a switch and “your” “money” will be gone – forever.

MAXIMUM SACRIFICE!

Jay Powell, the economic diarrhea of the mouth that just keeps on running, calls for nebulous sacrifice.

Last week, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell called for a “society-wide” commitment to reaching full employment. As Peter Schiff put it, Powell basically handed the US government a blank check in order to achieve this “maximum employment goal.”

We’re told we shouldn’t even worry about the massive deficit spending and additional debt this will incur. It’s all hands on deck and everybody needs to sacrifice. But what exactly does the Fed mean by “maximum employment?” What are we to sacrifice for?

…

Of course, anytime someone refers to the wartime era as an economic model, we must also consider that higher taxes, tariffs, subsidies, grants, loan programs and even make-work programs will soon follow.

…

Taxes, loans, etc. How about halting all immigration, kicking out the invaders, bringing real jobs back, canceling debts, going back to real money, and ending the trade deficits? Oops, sorry…

We’ve heard this before, recently. In late November, prompted by similar idiocy, I asked what the government was willing to sacrifice. We know now: the people and the nation. But I have a great idea! I, for one, am more than willing to forever give up the central bank and the federal government! How’s that for starters, Jay?

Here’s another reason to shun sites, programs, and services that do not charge a retail fee for usage. Ann Barnhardt explains how the aptly-named Robinhood makes money – by selling individual trader information to the mega-funds so those funds can front-run the little people. Listen to the whole program for tip after tip about the hoax and sham of the economic casino. One question she asks is if the “nerds” of Gamestop infamy and all others from buying but not selling, in order to force the nerds to sell, then who, given the general buying ban, was on the other side of the forced orders? We all know even without knowing.

Office Space, Not the Movie

NYC is vacant.

With workers stuck at home, the office availability rate rose to 14.9% in January, the highest in data going back to 2000, according to a report by Colliers International.

Leasing fell by nearly 47% from the same period last year. That came even as asking rents dipped for the seventh straight month to $73.65 a square foot on average, the lowest in almost three years.

I read somewhere else that something like 80% of NYC office workers still works at home remotely while waiting on the new normal to revert or something. How much longer can this on before the companies admit they’re not reopening? Or, if they go back, slowly, how does that affect the overall RE economy? Is this all dependent on “stimulus” from the government that created the hoax in the first place?

So many questions and no answers. On the other, half-full hand, I suppose I could cheaply move the blog to New York, say to half of the WTC. No.

The Maestro (he’s still alive) speaks, in re the “pandemic.”

The incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden has its work cut out for it, and getting the virus under control should be the number one priority, according to former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, a move that will help save the economy.

“I’ve never seen a particular situation during my professional experience anything like this,” the 94-year-old Greenspan told CNN’s Julia Chatterley on her show First Move on Thursday.

Although he wasn’t working in finance when he was a boy, he lived through the Great Depression.

In his defense, at 94 the man is probably a little out of touch. But, he certainly helped move us into this dire situation that has nothing to do with fake pandemics or fake presidents. The subtle admission that this is a greater depression is a nice touch.
