    I am not convinced bitcoin is resilient to extreme authoritarianism.

    It might be an extremely expensive and energy-intensive solution, but at least it provides a rationale for bitcoin’s existence. ...as a doomsday contingency system, I am glad someone created bitcoin just in case.

    Why should the obvious winner of a democratic election have to rely on the courts to declare them the winner? Stop wasting everyone's time and money. Tell your man to concede.

    If Joe Biden is really confident he won legally and legitimately, why is he so afraid of proving it?

    When you see a libertarian expressing concern for working people, keep a hand on your wallet.

    Scant regard for facts in this piece.

    It would be good to see really close cooperation between the Fed and the Treasury, and it is hard to see how Yellen of all people would undermine the Fed's independence.

    Yellen will be extra respectful about the Fed's independence and won't do much "exerting", but intellectually, she and Powell will be fact based and very much on the same page on most all issues

    Scant regard for facts in this piece.

    In spite of its relentless public relations efforts claiming the opposite, the Fed remains a leading reason for the impoverishment of working-class and middle-class families. |

    Tim Geithner was President of the NY Fed before becoming Treasury chief. Did this threaten the Fed's independence?

    So is anyone worried that putting a former Fed chair in Treasury is a threat to central bank independence?

    Well below target, both short- and long-term. Looks like markets aren't convinced by the Fed's average inflation policy.

    Inflation expectations over the next two years have risen to the highest since February.

    Oh lordy.

    The publicly-stated position of President Trump's legal team is that the reason Trump lost Georgia is because Georgia's Republican Gov. Brian Kemp has been bribed by a Venezuelan front company in cahoots with the CIA to throw elections to Communists.

    This makes no sense.

    Supporting whatever deal may make with the EU simply on the basis that it *is* a deal makes no sense whatsoever. Either Labour MPs genuinely think it's a reasonable deal (I won't say good, that's impossible), or they don't. If the latter, then vote against it.

    Your regular reminder that I block people who insult me. Telling me I have "failed to understand from the outset" something I have written about multiple times is a gratuitous insult. The offender is therefore blocked.

    Ok, relax on thoughts this might have been a Brexit statement. Boris Johnson clearly has yet to finish the negotiation with himself on whether there is to be a UK-EU deal or not.

    FFS. What message do you think Labour allowing No Deal by default purely in order to score political points would send?

    The idea that Labour might whip for Johnson's Brexit deal is just utter lunacy and only makes sense in the most crass and short-termist sense. This Brexit will be a disaster. Being able to say "we told you so" is worth a lot more than avoiding a couple of Daily Mail headlines.
