What we are learning from DOGE is that there actually isn't a lot of waste and abuse.

...and also incorporate a reward of some sort. I would never do this much cardio if my cheat day weren't near at hand.

I would stick with something you know you can do consistently and won't burn you out.

The fed has a lot of tools available to manipulate rates. The problem isn't the rates - it's how those tools can lead to other problems in the economy most notably runaway inflation.

The last week of Trump's term is going to be the most incredible display of pardons the country has ever seen.

Cardio sucks but you need something to offer a distraction. I listen to podcasts or music - but mostly podcasts these days while swimming and music while lifting.

I used to walk - a lot. I was averaging about 36,000 steps a day...walking 17 miles on my weight training days and 25 miles on my off days with a 4 day upper/lower split. And then I was run over by a motorcycle from behind. I have a partially torn patella tendon which is still healing. I've...

Trump is almost certainly going to move on Powell. What Japan did to our 10 year in particular caught the White House off guard. It was an embarrassment and forced Trump to rescind tariffs. He will want the power to move levers - including interest rates but also dipping back into QE - so that...

This is so dishonest. The aggregate number does not tell the whole story. 60% of Walmart's inventory is from China. This is a selective consumption tax and the people who can least afford this tax are the ones most likely to pay it. They will then use this revenue to cut income taxes on top...

what the hell are you people talking about

It’s possible - but I doubt China is the culprit here. They are trying to weaken their currency against the dollar and while the 10 year and the value of the dollar aren’t explicitly linked there is a very close correlation. Most likely the source of the current yield spike is a combination of...

Is it 50, 60 or 70?? Or maybe just one or two? How do you go from 50 to 70 in one sentence? Either you are lying or you are ignorant.
