We pay a fixed rate on each bond sold. Unfortunately, the US is issuing a lot of debt with the recent passage of the debt limit so the interest on it is pretty significant. Based on this article, the debt servicing is just under a trillion per year. That includes interest and repayment of bonds coming to maturity.
It's new-ish and very low CPM so you have to drum up a lot of interactions to net much of anything. I guess that Loomer wants attention in general and/or may not get enough interactions to get paid. I'm guessing there's a much more benign reason for this but the world is crazy so who knows
So inflation has only gone down because of the spread change in currency value. As the US has risen interest rates, the dollar got stronger and import became cheaper on the spread between the dollar and the exporting county. The dollar has recently weakened considerably so all those “gains” will be given up. Inflation never actually went down because we never stopped printing money
Moody is a credit rating agency. For better or worse, investment and borrowing ability depend on the credit rating your company gets.

401k and pensions are very different. 401k is only sponsored by a company for an employee and, aside from company matching, there is no financial commitment by the company itself.

Lol so there are two options here:
- The military is so dumb they're publicly telling Russia the war strategy. Also, if this is the best we got, so Russia now knows that if they can stand this, they can continue this war indefinitely.
- This is a lie to make up for the fact that they've been losing the war and they're basically trying to fake that they really haven't been trying this whole time. Go to any local basketball park and watch a cocky kid get smoked and you'll see this same excuse.
I mean in reality black people overwhelmingly commit those crimes soooo sure it can be racist as the assertion is that black have no innate ability to stop themselves from committing those crimes which... statistically and IQ wise seems to be the case
This is correct, still, I'm not too fond of anything going down this road. In a weird way, banks and credit card processors definitely do not want the fed hurting their business, so many big players stand in the way of CBDC fully coming to reality.
Good luck getting the governor to sign off
