My infernal employer blocks twitter so I can't even see it. So, STFU.

Brit posted a screenshot of his computer with some browser tabs left open. Appears he's got a bit of a thing for vinyl bondage gear. I had to google for articles about it because he appears to have deleted the original tweet.Originally posted by iam416 View PostComment

Speaking of presidential appointments and getting into the weeds about executive powers...but Trump finally got his hand slapped for abusing the Federal Vacancies Act to sidestep the Senate. A federal judge on sunday ruled that Ken Cuccinelli's appointment as Acting Head of USCIS was illegal because he never served in a subordinate role within the organization. Also renders every decision or order he's given null and void.
They will appeal I'm sure but this throws a bunch of immigration policies up in the air
EDIT: Sorry, Cuccinelli's official title is "Senior Official Performing the Duties of Director"...LOL

I'm not sure he'll appeal. That's obstruction of justice these days.
But, yeah. District Court judge. Meh.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

The swings in this market the past 2 weeks are just wild. Dow was down about 200 when the Fed announcement came. Immediately shot up 500 points. Then almost as fast crashed all the way back to -200 again. Now it's near even.Originally posted by iam416 View Post

As for the decision to cut rate by 50 points...I think it's more of a symbolic gesture than anything. A "hey, we've got your back" sort of message. But one maybe worth making?
The more practical side of that debate counters with the fact that rate cuts don't get Chinese factories back online or convince people that it's a good idea to travel right now.Last edited by Dr. Strangelove; March 3, 2020, 10:36 AM.Comment

Why not write every taxpayer a check for a thousand bucks instead? That would pump stimulus into the economy faster than a rate cut. Just like the Trump Corporate Welfare Tax Cut, business will spend the cash on stock buybacks and executive bonuses.
Ask the retirees with IRA CDs and pension funds how they like the rate cut.“Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.” - Groucho MarxComment
