The grave economic danger is now runaway DEFLATION.
This is what happened in the Great Depression, when falling prices led people to the logical conclusion that they SHOULD NOT BUY ANYTHING (including stocks) because PRICES WILL BE LOWER in the future.
This can lead to a vicious spiral down. DEMAND disappears so prices continue to fall, so the demand does not return for anything discretionary. WHY BUY NOW if it will be cheaper next week?
The FED is well aware of this danger (finally), and that is why they are throwing so much money at the problem. THAT'S ALL THEY'VE GOT. They can't make people buy things who are fearful of their economic futures and also question the wisdom of immediate purchases.
THE ONLY SOLUTION is to reopen the economy ASAP--assuming it is not already too late.
Thanks.
In parts of Texas they pay people to use electricity from windmills. Late at night, electricity has a negative price.
I wonder if we'll reach that point with oil.
re: yesterday’s POTUS presser.....
I’ve read a lot of tweets with interesting speculation about symbology.
Mosquito: trolling Bill Gates. (because Gates is all about malaria/mosquitoes)
Qtip/swab: most seem to think that either he was making a trident (on Ukraine flag, submarine, ...) or that he was “giving the finger” to someone (Gates again?).
My simple guess is that the Q-tips were just “Q”. And maybe the fact that there were 2 of them had something to do with the 2 lanterns in Q 3987.
Also there have been a lot of hints and speculation about a “big” name being arrested shortly. Lots of people are guessing 0vomit, HRC, BJC. Many are guessing Hanx, 0prah, Ellen. I have a completely different guess, but still big. Not revealing it at this time - in case I’m right. ;-) Just as big as those mentioned. Would shake up the public. (actually a couple of options, but one I’m thinking of in particular). I’d encourage FReeQs to think about it, but not speculate publicly. Maybe you’ll come up with the same name(s).
You’ve got a great idea there! If anyone has a channel to anyone in the administration I’d hope they could relay it along.
President Trump should pop that nazi flag pic up on the screens before anyone has a chance to cut away and show where it was taken, at a Bernie rally in Idaho. Talk about burning the fake news alive! Then ask FNCNN why they ran it.
I wrote about him several weeks ago and what he was about to do. This A lister in his profession was going to turn over tens of thousands of inappropriate photos that he took over the year that involves hundreds, if not thousands of power brokers and celebrities, both dead and alive. I told you weeks ago he had been killed. Now, all of a sudden his body shows up in a place where authorities had already searched a dozen times.

Maybe some FReepers are being singled out... I sure hope not. If you receive your SS payment or tax return money by direct deposit it is supposed to stay consistent. But the last change that I heard of was that many checks will be mailed whereas before there was some question. Checks to whom? Who knows?
BFD, Windows has been full of bugs since it started.
You FReeQed my tweet.
Great story in Forbes on why this is happening. WTI futures contracts require you to take delivery in Cushing, OK. As you can imagine, storage there is already full. So people are buying their way out of their futures contract so as not to take delivery, resulting in a downward spiral.
The article points out that the $27 cost of Brent crude, on the other side of the pond, is more reflective of the real price of oil.

If you find a way to check on this I would love to hear about it.
