A bit of egads in the bonds

The treasury curve bulging considerable. This bulging scares, it hints of a requant,

Reasonable and legal?

Men arrested at Starbucks refused to 'make a purchase or leave,'

I am confused as the protocol seems  simple, stable. On what basis would a patron choose another outcome?  Would the patrons tell us that they can sit for free indefinitely?

I would  get patron's version of the protocol, before I sent everyone to protool school.

Finally the pension costs

The Citigroup Analysis of the Amazon – USPS Relationship

This scenario is seriously flawed for several reasons. First of all, there’s no reason to believe that such “a day of reckoning” is coming. If anything, we’re heading for a day when Congress recognizes the mess it created with the prefunding mandate and does something to fix it.
Great, but Congress cannot fix that mess ex post because there is a two way trade. The pensions are a liability on past deliveries, and Jeff got the disproportionate share of delivery services. So sure Congress might fix it, and absorb liabilities for the taxpayers. But taxpayers are a different distribution than Jeff.  Even moving forward and covering with future deliveries leaves Jeff the option to use UPS, which would then be cheaper.  

The attempt is to pitch this as a fair trade via magic distribution and adjustments of price fixings in the Swamp., won't work. This  is clearly a 12 billion gift from taxpayers to Jeff. Quit lying about it.

Federal jobs program

Gov. Jerry Brown says Trump administration will fund his National Guard mission — without immigration duties

Never pass up a government goodie, except we are being SALTed for all our prior government goodies. 

Teenagers on meth

By the neighborhood, any race  except blacks, oddly.  Look at the neighborhoods where it is prevalent, crime skyrocket, gangs rampant, women trashed.   Any neighborhood so infiltrated will be a wall to climb out of and welfare assistance barely helpful. That and the opioids make guv assistance have extremely low utility. Cocaine really not a real problem, just a nuisance.

The libertarian says let nature take its course, gate them off. The pragmatist says stop or slow the manufacture of just those two.  Meth heads are quite brain injured, but recoverable, dunno much about opioids, except they hit pain detectors.

Sandbox restructure them

David Hogg calls for investors to boycott BlackRock, Vanguard over gun holdings

But, if they are NRA terrorists, boycott.   

Vanguard becomes a set of two color, automated pits, become a spreadsheet function.

BlackRock goes into the business of asynchronous portfolio strategies over the various escrow nets.   They make trading bots. They sell marginal debt to special members. Their  members trade with the BlackRock crypto badge, their traders get around.

Fun, fun times, welcome aboard.

Secretary of Squeeze

Former Playboy Model Now Free to Discuss Alleged Trump Affair After Settlement

I think this was Trumpsters squeeze for a while.  Trumpster, a bit slutty, does it on the first date.

Immaterial

Bank of Japan Turns Back on State-Issued Cryptocurrency
The yen system has to leak a bit, and sandbox can peg it to a known bound better than Swift based systems.  We are accurate, kids, accurate. 

And the other reason, every banker in town wants escrow net and swap net.

Finally, another in the top three, we solve the regulation bottleneck.

Is there a special rule on demonizing your own race?

You know, the N word.
I do it, white trash, tattood,  worthless meth head, NRA terrorist, welfare bums. See them all the time.  

But blacks I know, even those from the hills, would be bashful about using the words 'white trash'. Is there a special rule?

Central banks screwing up

The Triffin dilemma or Triffin paradox is the conflict of economic interests that arises between short-term domestic and long-term international objectives for countries whose currencies serve as global reserve currencies. This dilemma was first identified in the 1960s by Belgian-American economist Robert Triffin, who pointed out that the country whose currency, being the global reserve currency, foreign nations wish to hold, must be willing to supply the world with an extra supply of its currency to fulfill world demand for these foreign exchange reserves, thus leading to a trade deficit.
The world needs a reserve currency. If the American socialist government  agrees to provide the service, then Congress will run continual deficits justifying by noting the foreign demand.

Free traders foul this up, claiming the reserve currency functions are neutral.  Instead we get  sudden rebalance by  large default, as we did in 1973.  Thus is what I mean when we need the complete set of tariffs, internal and external and  balance the whole set.
