Even Miran is changing his view. This stuff is hard to measure but when the one guy who was sure inflation was under control changes his view, it is hard to ignore. https://www.morningstar.com/news/dow-jones/2026021910137/feds-miran-now-sees-a-less-accommodative-rate-path- SAJ-99

Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!
Just a difficult thing to even compare. In 2018 prices were $3 to $3.30. Today they are about $3.25. It's a well supplied market. The most recent spike was a quirk in the severity of the cold snap, the fact that the spot contract was rolling off at the same time, and everyone was under hedged...- SAJ-99

Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?
The WSJ is very Hoover-Insititutish, so it tracks. A good number of the Op-eds come from Hoover people. I note that the WSJ also supported the appointment of Powell in 2017 as a pragmatic choice that had more real-world business experience and less reliant on economic model-driven theories. This...- SAJ-99

...that found their spine after announcing they were not running again. Anyway, then Warsh would get Miran's position and get elevated to Head in May. Then Trump would need to name two to replace Miran and Powell (if he chooses to leave the Fed entirely, which he probably will) positions in May.- SAJ-99

Attack on the Feds independence
I just think of all the 2A discussion and how people argue that the 2A is to prevent a tyrannical government. What if the government was coming to check on the legality of your gun ownership? This is the literal definition of a tyrannical government. Everyone should speak up because once a line...- SAJ-99

...Musk, but they have to pay taxes on it, which they have myriad of ways to avoid. Otherwise their wealth does come at your expense, just indirectly. The actions of Trump and DOGE and rise in the debt level shows we don't have spending problem. We have a revenue problem. That is everyone's problem.- SAJ-99

Yeah, the downside of free market capitalism. He will certainly get bipartisan support for it.

NATO- Yes, Trump is right. He is also repeating the same complaint every administration has had for the last 40yrs. Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, Obama all of them.

...the American people for profit. Many think Clinton, Obama, and Biden are fringe. You can’t show data showing actual performance. A lot of the movement is about ignoring the important stuff and believing made up stories. I don’t think the Repubs can get more fringe than Trump, but they will try.- SAJ-99

All they really had to do was get Trump to say he didn’t know anything about it. Hell, some people are still denying it is the playbook.

I think there is certainly a subset of people loving it. They love when a guy like Trump gets power and breaks rules because they are people who also don't want to follow society's rules.
