The FED printing money? All I hear is everyone blaming everything/everyone but the FED as far as inflation goes.


Yes, the Fed printing money. Memes from the younger, paragraphs from the older. More rarely mentioned by the credentialed, but so ubiquitously brought up by the commentariat that I just can't buy this as "few people are talking about."


It's not that there's inflation -- it's the level of it. It's massive and will play out in very large terms in the coming years.


Good on you for letting your kid be bored. Constant stimulation is not good for anyone, especially kids! These devices are creating an attention crisis with a lot of kids nowadays not able to focus and sit down for even a few minutes.


STOCK act 2012. I believe it was quietly repealed.


> STOCK act 2012. I believe it was quietly repealed.

No, it wasn't.

It was scoped back, uncontroversially, to not apply to e.g. Congressional staffers. It still applies to "the President, Vice President, Congress, or anyone running for Congress" [1]. It also, more controversially, "eliminated the requirement for the creation of searchable, sortable database of information in reports, and the requirement that reports be done in electronic format, rather than on paper."

The law and its penalties still apply to members of Congress. It just permitted them to file on paper. That leads to crap like this [2]. Still, a long shot from repeal.

Great information, thank you.


Seems like someone can just pull up anywhere in a car and have this capability. You probably won’t have a choice.
