To be clear, I've also questioned your motives in this discussion.

Apologies if you're being genuine but it your tone, esp toward what you perceive to be The Previous Musings of Señor el Gato That Are Not in Evidence to Others. You just seem a little combative.

How about Wag More, Bark Less?

When you've been doing this since 2008, you get tired of wagging when it doesn't work. You have to understand, i got out of college and had like four months of an ok job market before everything went to hell. The same what the hell is going on people felt about covid, i had for 2008. Understanding it and the things that lead to it became my job. That understanding and the fact that the markets started to blow up again in 2018, then rates began to be lowered again and the end of QT in 2019 told me something was coming. I didn't think the authorities are as pathetic in their basic humanity that they'd pull something like covid. So for most of you covid was a year maybe two at the most, imagine its been every year for you since 2008. I'm not trying to be combative, i'm trying to speak from a broader perspective i suppose? As you can see Dale Carnegie didn't rub off on me. But i think we're past the point of being polite anymore for the sake of it.

Understood. Put up your own shingle.

Perhaps we should let El Gato explain this himself instead of arguing for him?

I'm not arguing for him. If he wished to address you, he will. He's an active reader of the comments. Note though that this article was posted by Gaito Bueno, The Good Kitty. I haven't noticed that he engages in the comments section as frequently.

I've already addressed this in another reply to you but maybe you're not grasping the big point here: It is not the focus of this establishment to tell us why lowering rates so that the government can pretend they're paying less in interest (or more in capital; I'm not sure if they know what playing QE games does either).

They do something more like Public Interest with a focus on How BogGov's Response was DoublePlusUnhood.

Do you get why Jimmy G's also getting some sort of Bossy Vibe?
