With the combined 3 million dollars/year from Sualli and Crichton. They would be able to keep every single player from this years U20s team until the 2027 RWC....
Today they have canceled Oil Reserve Refill Plan.
Tomorrow they are completing a $200MM Treasury buyback.
And on Thursday Yellen is visiting China to encourage "global stability" during and leading up to the election.
They're shit scared of contributing to a higher spice price.

This should be community noted, the vote wasn't on recognition. 90%+ of Aussies support that. It was on an advisory body to parliament.

People would rather their local rugby club win the competition than their super rugby team.
Super Rugby has 0 Tribalism left. Of late it's just become Australian teams vs New Zealand teams.
I think we need a new competition instead of paving over the cracks.

Tragic but seriously why make this a women's issue. Violence to everyone exists, Whats it called when a women kills a man. You know 80% of murder victims are men?

"We are the worlds reserve currency...because of our democratic institutions, our control of inflation, the world trusts the rule of law in the United States..."
Jerome Powell 8th of March 2023...
Calm down. We are not hiking rates.
There is zero need to hike rates when the long end will do the work for us.
We do not feel 'forced to tighten' or 'backed into a corner' with a 0.06% inflation beat.
We do not care.
We are cutting rates.
Biden said so.

Dear Steves Advisors, we only think the Gabba rebuild is a waste of money if there's no extra seats.
How about make it a 65k capacity stadium and everyone will be on board. Why spend all this money on cross river rail not to have it there?
Gonna be the K-Mart games otherwise.
@rev_cap
They just want a reason to cut... Unemployment won't go up -> just import so many people so it looks like unemployment is increasing. Now we can cut, get more taxpayer revenue and print more money everyone's happy.
@peter_tulip
Peter, we are in a per capita recession already, excessive immigration just paints over the cracks. Majority of Australians are pro-immigration just not at insane levels. It should be a 2 step solution:
1. Slash Immigration levels to pre-covid.
2. Build more houses .

This also explains why China wants their Gold delivered... unlike everyone else. They don't want to leave it in some London vault where something like this could happen if they Invade Taiwan and receive sanctions... Even more reasons for China to keep buying gold.
U.S. debt interest payments have just hit a whopping $1 TRILLION! Guess who's watching? Xi.
Xi is eyeing our balance sheet and is saying "Trump, Biden... both of these old-fuckers are spending machines. "

Super Rugby is still a dead competition that needs major changes, the crowds are woeful. As a wallabies supporter, It's a shame because nothing will change now since the All Blacks have done so well.
@KosSamaras
Look this actually annoys me because they literally get lower entry requirements. They get a free ride when they don't need it.
The ones that need it are not ones living in a global city like Sydney. Give a free ride to ones in regional areas who live 5 hours from a hospital.
@rev_cap
It's not just happening in America. Australia has an annualised immigration (based of last 3 months) of 1.3 million per year.... with a population 15 times LESS than America, at this rate we are importing 5% of our population a year.

Cocoa prices have gone insane. Institutional investors will sell a stock just because they think it will have a bad next year they won't want to touch it and don't think long term. If it gets to 150 it’s a huge bargain price imo.
Just wrapped up a blockbuster 2-year Treasury auction—bid-to-cover ratio a dazzling 2.66!
Clearly, the world can't get enough of our bonds. Join us tomorrow for another auction!
Gm. 👋Just another casual week at the Treasury, Yellen issuing a cool $213bn of notes over the next 3 days.
Had some cheeky chats at the IMF conference and with Japan over the weekend and agreed to manipulate their currency as long as they bought my bonds.
Former Kansas City Fed President Thomas Hoenig on the
@menlobear
podcast admitted it.
Regardless of the election's outcome, deficit spending and a climbing debt/GDP ratio will persist. We have no plan.
We are running 7% Deficits with unemployment at 3.8%... if we ran a 3%
A true veteran insider shares his view of how the Federal Reserve, the Treasury & Congress truly operate
It's not a pretty picture
Dr Thomas Hoenig was CEO of the Kansas City Fed, a voting member of the FOMC, and a Director of the FDIC
Few sat closer to the center of power
@PhilipSoos
It’s very frustrating no politician in Australia has ever addressed our over reliance on immigration and plummeting birth rates … more immigration = higher houses = families have less kids = more immigration and so on…
2/2 "🤦♂️But Sir, following three consecutive higher-than-expected inflation reports, proceeding with cuts might jeopardize the Fed's image of independence, don't you think?"
