Bitcoin was supposed to be the exit; money governments couldn't touch.
Illinois just taxed it: 0.2% every time a digital asset is moved, traded, or stored. At that rate, the revenue was never the point.

Warsh's first week as chair: two auctions Wednesday, one Thursday, PCE Friday. He inherited a fractured committee and a 3.2% core. The honeymoon is granted by institutions that are not speaking this week.
Good Morning ☕️
Inflation can cool on paper and still keep tightening in life.
That is not a contradiction.
It is the clue.
Rent did not cool.
Insurance did not cool.
The down payment did not cool.
The debt required to stand still did not cool.
That is Inflation Without Relief.
Core Thesis Update 6 is live.
The thesis got the destination right and the route wrong.
No inversion. No first-cut trigger. The bear steepener arrived anyway; through the 30-year refusing to stay seated.
