@RealTimers @ben_mckenzie @billmaher @hbomax The dollar is backed by the full faith and credit of the US and also deflated by a government that is printing money and becoming slowly insolvent. The US dollar loses value every single month. If you have assets you are OK but poor folks with cash get rekt.

All money is made up. So what's the difference between cryptocurrency and the U.S. dollar? Watch @ben_mckenzie get real about made up money with @billmaher on #RealTime @hbomax.

@Sean_Callahan Pumped they are switching to the 3-3-5 because it sucks ass.

Illinois has quietly become one of the Big Ten’s most consistent programs under Bret Bielema. But with a new QB, new DC and a switch to the 3-3-5, there are plenty of questions heading into 2026. The Huskers travel to Champaign on Nov. 6: FULL REVIEW: on3.com/teams/nebraska…

Biggest real price hikes since 2019: CA, RI, DC, CT, ME, NY, MD, MA. All blue. All low data-center exposure. Falling real prices: mostly red, many with heavy data centers. AI isn't (yet) the villain. Policymakers complaining about AI might be.

Asset owners have been shielded from inflation: ~55% of consumers with no stock market ownership cited high prices as the reason for worse personal finances in May, the highest in at least 10 years. At the same time, consumers in the bottom two-thirds of stock ownership in the survey reported a similar level of strain. By comparison, only ~40% of consumers in the top third of stock ownership cited high prices as a concern. This puts the gap between top stockholders and those with no stock ownership at ~15 percentage points, the widest since mid-2024. Excluding 2024, this is the largest divergence in over a decade. This comes as the historic market rally has shielded wealthy consumers from inflation while the rest of America bears a disproportionately larger burden. Own assets or be left behind.
