@Coyote @mrman this guy just looks like he's projecting tbh

@Coyote @mrman religions aren't simply organisations though, the Catholic church is obviously a vast one but you can be the only Christian locally and still be a Christian

@aral still dreaming of ww3 huh

@NBS is there any good literature on the mechanics of this? the line between propaganda and technical information is always foggy to me in this field

specifically bond vs equities vs commodities

@NBS so the term "policy error" that is being thrown around is a reflection of long bond markets, not a general consensus?

@NBS "policy error" ... markets are pricing in the perception that the fed has made a mistake and will have to cut rates down the line.

I understand that everyone is up to their necks in debt, and that the market can only sustain minimal hikes before widespread bankruptcy and "contagion"...

what I don't understand is:

a) what is stopping the fed from sustaining these hikes, and damn what the markets are predicting?

b) what possible course other than sustained low rates would not be seen as policy error? is there some magic pace of rate hikes that the market would nod sagely at and start to pay down what they owe?

if you think you're too easily distracted, always remember that people have arguments on fedi
