Id like a thread where people can post ISM reports, Prof. Wolff analysis, international trade news & IMF/debt deets etc. info. but all the people who post 5000 pages about regional north american real estate speculation and stock market updates is extremely fail.

the last "standard" they came up with is it can't be bribery if you don't have a signed and notarized legal document saying "I will illegally shift government bids to you in exchange for one (1) large sack of money with a gigantic dollar sign printed on the side"

Now it's "actually that was too strict, go hogge wild you can't be convicted for taking bribes no matter what you do"

If we allow just anyone to make new threads that will dilute the value of existing threads and risk thread-backed commercial loans being called in. This is a very serious topic.

We need to get posters back to their original threads to shore up the value of each thread. The time of remote posting in threads about other threads is over, everyone has to get back to their original thread by Monday week.

Treasury Has Just $88 Billion of Measures Left to Avoid Debt Cap

U.S. can avoid default in July if Treasury can make it through June cash crunch, Congressional Budget Office says

Three days left in May to make it happen or the dice is getting rolled on weather the government has the money to get to June 15th's incoming tax revenues.

Personal theory: the Mandela effect is alternate reality bleeding into our own in the weirdest of ways. In some other multiverse, Nelson Mandela really did die in prison and Trump went to prison instead of becoming president.
