Yes, because that would cause too much damage.

That's not a bad thing, per se.

For those not savvy enough for stocks, I argue that interest rates do not show the true state of the market

They should be higher

They definitely do not.

Interest rates, these days, are not at all representative of the market.

They are lever to be pulled to, hopefully, induce a desired change.

Cocky bitches get so offended when they try to be authoritative and you find it really funny so you chuckle in amusement

😂

@Xychotic. They are trying to goose spending by keeping it low

goose? did you mean boost?

The speed of transactions is too slow to keep things going so they are playing around with other parts of the monetary system

Or is goose the word used in a different way than I'm familiar?

Boost

Problem is though, the consumer is tapped out

Millenials, the next big block are in debt

Boomers are retiring and are at a point where they will be taking money out and not adding it into the system

Everyone is fighting for a bigger portion of a shrinking pie.

With the family destroyed, household formation and child rearing is low

Big ticket purchases are being done later in life than is traditionally expected

I agree with you on much of this.

Bring back patriarchy and it will help things

Damnit I developed a stye

fuckin' hate those.

The patriarchy won't save things.

It might help, though. You're right on that.

The risk is that there are too many men who wouldn't even know how to be a proper patriarch.

Since, really, a patriarch is a CEO.

@Jack Mehoff stye is such a pain .
Warm wet washcloths on eye all weekend to get it to open up

@Xychotic yes, a patriarch of a family has to have the final say.
Like the ceo, like a ships captain.
Our laws and western culture just does not support that anymore

No, it really doesn't.

Without that authority, no one should have that responsibility.

Can you imagine being the captain of a US Navy ship and being told, “ you have no actual authority over your sailors, but you shall be held accountable for all their actions and decisions.”

Time to enjoy that sweet pension

Stop touching my pianus

Yes, I can imagine that.

I can also imagine calling in a helicopter and noping tf out of there.

Penis Augustus Maximus !

@Xychotic yes I would just quit and go open my own business

The gladiator shout was for @Nawalter Jizney

Btw how do you feel about the receptorchem site
