    @jon-nyc said in Powell speaks truth to power: He'll probably fire him really close to his retirement date so contesting it is pointless. I recalling reading or hearing from some source(s) last year that the POTUS does not have the authority to fire the Head of the Reserve or any of the Board members. What would be the ramifications of WH political control over the FR in terms of banking and the US$? Do you think it would trigger a global sell off?

    @AndyD why? Do we need to do that to build bases? Do we have a lot of money to throw around right now? We need to throw money around to build bases?

    Steve Jobs was that way. We got some good products out of it but it can be blamed for his early death when, surprisingly, eating carrots didn’t cure his cancer.

    Yeah. Gimme a couple weeks. Actually I feel great. Regular exercise, an excellent whole food diet and mental challenge daily work for me.

    @Horace said in McConnell gets one right: But one could have asked an AI to write that. As one probably did. And that one was probably not even Mitch. It was probably one of his handlers. So? I don’t anticipate him disputing its substance anytime soon. As to the substance, sure, let's explore this alliance that has historical relevance beyond that of NATO. Sounds good. Pointless if the people who should be learning refuse to listen.

    I think they’re running out of new things to say and the new things Loury is coming up with I’m not interested in. I rarely listen to his show anymore, the fact that much of it is paywalled doesn’t help.

    A lot of insurance coverage follows official recommendations. Including Medicaid which covers about half of all children. (Though some states are making allowances for the kooks running policy these days). For your average kid in Mississippi for example, Kennedy just took away half your vaccines.
