@jgilfy @PaulGoldEagle Recent Fed repo operations in late December 2025 totaled around $40 billion for the month, nowhere near $200 billion. These were through standard overnight repo facilities to manage year-end funding pressures.

@PaulGoldEagle The Fed had to interject liquidity over $200 B in last week to banks to likely back end purchases of treasuries. Not sure this has. 12-18 months before a crash!!!! 💥

Panic in Basel: Central banks are preparing for the crash Yanis Varoufakis reports on a secret crisis meeting in Basel, at which Western central bankers openly showed panic. A senior Fed representative there literally said that we should stop pretending that the situation is "controllable". The demand for US government bonds is collapsing, repo markets are failing. Several major foreign creditors wanted to exit US Treasuries, which is why central banks are now secretly selling them via offshore channels to avoid triggering an open crash. Internally, capital controls, bank holidays, and $3–5 trillion in pension losses are already being anticipated. A Nordic central banker told Varoufakis: "There is no scenario that ends well." The time horizon: 12–18 months, in the worst case weeks. For example, with a new BRICS currency or a geopolitical shock. According to Varoufakis, those who are supposed to prevent the collapse have admitted one thing: They have no plan.

@SpammersAreScum @PONY_Official It's much smaller, costs much less because the troops are garrisonned there and it happens in a place called Horse Guards Parade. It's not a march through the capital by 10,000 troops.

@PONY_Official Really? You can't see the difference between Royal Guards in formation on the grounds, and military, whose job it is to fight outside the US, parading down the street with weapons of war?

Tomorrow in England Trooping the Colour will take place, an annual patriotic parade celebrating military and birth of the monarch. I’ve never heard a leftist describe this as being “like North Korea” or “Nazi Germany”… until Trump plans something similar.

@DivyanshDubeyMJ @FT @CranfieldUni @UniStrathclyde @tcddublin In that year's @FT European Business Schools ranking, the ordinal rank of the MBA programmes ranked, but not in the Global MBA ranking, and the average salary reported by the alumni in that year's survey. Top left is better.

@DuncanChapple @FT @CranfieldUni @UniStrathclyde @tcddublin What are the two scales?

Interesting to see which European #MBA schools missed out on inclusion in the @FT MBA ranking. Can @CranfieldUni @UniStrathclyde & @tcddublin game the rankings better?

@avivaplc I've been waiting to speak to someone for 28 minutes. Is there anyone working on policies that start with P? It's always an impossible wait, unlike my other policy with you #CX

BRILLIANT! If you have not read Eric Swalwell's questions to Hunter Biden during his hearing, you have to. SWALWELL: Any time your father was in government, prior to the Presidency or before, did he ever operate a hotel? BIDEN: No, he has never operated a hotel. SWALWELL: So he’s never operated a hotel where foreign nationals spent millions at that hotel while he was in office? BIDEN: No, he has not. SWALWELL: Did your father ever employ in the Oval Office any direct family member to also work in the Oval Office? BIDEN: My father has never employed any direct family members, to my knowledge. SWALWELL: While your father was President, did anyone in the family receive 41 trademarks from China? BIDEN: No. SWALWELL: As President and the leader of the party, has your father ever tried to install as the chairperson of the party a daughter-in-law or anyone else in the family? BIDEN: No. And I don’t think that anyone in my family would be crazy enough to want to be the chairperson of the DNC. SWALWELL: Has your father ever in his time as an adult been fined $355 million by any State that he worked in? BIDEN: No, he has not, thank God. SWALWELL: Anyone in your family ever strike a multibillion dollar deal with the Saudi Government while your father was in office? BIDEN: No. SWALWELL: That’s all I’ve got.

Riding on German trains last month, I passed a lot of flags marking football teams, Budenslander, the Jolly Roger, even the DDR. You know there you *do* find the Nazi flag? Outside Disney World, not on Schrebergarten huts youtube.com/watch?v=Vg_LNr…

@DerBren No sawmills nearby?

@krishnanrohit The US actually has slightly lower GDP per hour than the Euro zone. Y'all are just working two jobs. data.oecd.org/lprdty/gdp-per…

@krishnanrohit If you divided these numbers by hours worked, you'd see that North Americans are just working longer to pay for things many Europeans don't need.

Americans are rich people living like they're poor. Europeans are poor people living like they're rich. It's hard to say who's having a better time.
