Good article about Mattis' first year as SECDEF, just the last paragraph is :smith:

Mattis looks a lot more than a year older.
Somebody needs to update the Terminal Lance "Month in the life of a Lieutenant" comic with Trump news instead of E hijinks.

e:this one.

READING COMPREHENSION IS HARD
That reminds me of an incident here a couple years ago. 16 year old in a suped up truck hit another car doing about 110, hosed both of them up good. Anyways the kid driving gets released from the hospital with two broken hips. loving dozen officers are waiting at his house when the private ambulance pulls up and they sit around dumbfounded for about 30 minutes trying to figure out whether they should pull him out of the wheelchair and throw him in the back of a cruiser. Finally an adult showed up and they agreed to let him surrender when he'd recuperated a bit more.

He outworks his entire staff and pulls all-nighters...

quote:

His aides said that Mattis’s low profile is a product of his determination to focus as much time as possible on understanding the inner workings of the Pentagon, reading the latest intelligence and talking with his commanders.

On occasion, he will confess to pulling all-nighters, telling aides the next morning that he had stayed up reading and was feeling “a little rummy.”

I get the argument that economists are making on the point but holy loving hell is it a terrible look to be arguing, 'all of this is because wages are finally raising by a few crumbs and that's just not good for the stocks, plus the peasants might have more money to spend!'

That's a very reductionist view of the whole thing. Rising wages are typically an indication of inflation, which means the fed will raise interest rates, which means that bonds and other fixed-income assets become more attractive than equity. As large funds shift billions of dollars into these instruments, it reduces the value of the stocks that they hold.

The stock market is not the economy. Good economic news can have bad effects on the market, and vice versa.

Maybe if the stock market, which is at this point largely disassociated from reality (price to earnings ratio? What?), and is a mass fever dream funded by small investors being gouged by fees and outmanuvered by speed trading and computers and I don't know where I'm going with this but gently caress the stock market
