Timeline of Fasting

IF U.S. incomes spiked 60%, we'd return to pre-pandemic housing affordability levels IF U.S. home prices fell 38%, we'd return to pre-pandemic affordability IF mortgage rates fell 4.15 percentage points (from 6.5% to 2.23%), we'd return to pre-pandemic affordability

It took 39.5% mortgage payment to income to kill the housing market starting in 2005 We're NOW at 39.78%. So basically we've fallen to what killed the housing industry during the GFC

I can’t get over Darrell Taylor getting the sack and forcing the fumble, then just slowly walking off the field like nothing happened 💀😂

Absolutely fantastic video talking about the yield curve. I wish he overlaid the unemployment to show we're much further along in the recession than the yield curve is indicating, mostly due to Treasury and Fed manipulation.

This is insane: Interest expense on US Federal debt is now at a record $3 billion PER DAY. This is TRIPLE the amount paid 10 years ago and has DOUBLED in just 2.5 years. Total annual interest costs on Federal debt reached a whopping $1.1 trillion in Q2 2024. Even if the Fed cuts rates by 1% and all government bond yields decline by 1%, daily interest expense will still be $2.5 billion. That would be more than double the average paid in 2009-2019. Debt crisis is an understatement.

The TL/DR on Macro, Bitcoin and the Power Law. 1. Since 2008, Global money supply is up 5x. Brrrr. 2. The entirety of stock market returns (3.5x) are due to Brr. 3. Bitcoin is on a power law, currently growing at 46% 4. Bitcoin likely to hit 1 Mill in 10 yrs, 10 Mill in 20 years 5. No other asset is going to outperform Bitcoin Follow @braintrustBTC for the power law.

RFK Jr. was previously asked about how it felt to be condemned by his own family. He told a story about how his father gave him a book just two weeks before he died. RFK said he read the book multiple times, trying to figure out what lesson his dad wanted to give him. Here is what he said: "Camus had written this book called The Plague. My father gave it to me and he told me, with this kind of peculiar intensity, 'I want you to read this'." "He said this with this directness that after he died, I ended up reading that book about three times, trying to figure out kind of what the message was that he was trying to give me." Breakdown of the book: - "The Plague" is set in a North African city hit by an unprecedented plague. - The city is quarantined, and the story begins with a focus on the doctor's internal conflict. - The doctor initially considers not helping because there is no treatment the unknown disease. - Despite the risks, the doctor decides to comfort and serve the people. - Camus, an existentialist, draws from Stoicism, focusing on duty and service. - The doctor's actions bring order to the chaos, reflecting Stoic philosophy. - RFK then discussed Sisyphus, a figure in Stoicism, who is happy despite his eternal, futile task. - Sisyphus's happiness comes from fulfilling his duty (protecting people from a rolling stone), regardless of the outcome. "For eternity [he] pushes a rock up a hill. He can never get it over the top. It always rolls back down and on top of him. And then he goes up and does it again," RFK said. "Sisyphus is a happy man because he put his shoulder to the stone. He was given a duty and he does his duty. And that self-sacrifice that he makes, brings order to a chaotic universe." "So for me to have kind of a concrete task that I know is right, and I'm open to criticism, I have a critical mind. If somebody shows me where I got it wrong, I'll change. I'm not dug in, I'm not hardheaded in that sense." "But until somebody shows me that I'm gonna try to help these children and, you know, and I feel like it's a gift. So, and the more people that abuse me, the bigger the gift is in some way." Video: @MLiamMcCollum

🇦🇺🇫🇷AUSTRALIA'S OLYMPIC CONTENDER HAS PhD IN BREAKDANCE … LITERALLY Raygun, the 36-year-old lecturer, known more for her expertise in "the cultural politics of breakdancing" than for actual breakdancing, managed to showcase a routine that resembled a toddler's but with a PhD twist. One comment: 'Raygun breaking looks like 5-year-old me going up to my mom like 'look what I can do.' While Raygun's awkward chin-clutching finale went viral for all the wrong reasons, you have to give her credit—she's now an Olympic sensation, just maybe not the kind she was aiming for. Unsurprisingly, her performance scored zero points. Source: Daily Mail
