  • So, this person is saying that the Fed has been so politicized that it’s going to start ping-ponging across the aisle and that our own financial policy will become so unstable that the US dollar won’t be a safe bet. I can see it.

    That means the American institution that is left in control of the dollar’s fate by keeping spending (and thus the debt) under control is…. Congress.

    This irritates me. That is their job. The Fed is supposed to be an “oh shit” backup. Congress exists to spend into our economy.




  • This meme was meant for me

    I’m getting older and I find that I have a bit more trouble reading with my contacts in.

    I had been just wearing my glasses and taking them off all the time as I’m pretty nearsighted.

    The last week or so I’ve been experimenting with one contact. My natural nearsightedness takes care of the close stuff, then my corrected contact for anything past four feet or so.

    All that to say, quite unnecessarily, that I’ve experienced the world as simultaneously fuzzy and clear and have been trying to figure out what’s blurry for days.
