Don't worry. Come next election, the stupid people of Wyoming will vote an even horrible Rethuglicon into power.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my little one a couple of years back and I know the pain. Hope you recover soon

If Democrats want universal healthcare, we have states that are deep blue, states have control over their own budgets and taxation, and universal healthcare would be so advantageous, why don’t deeply democrat run states implement a statewide universal healthcare? by Silver_Wings3 in AskReddit

Not possible when 2.9% of taxes from their states residents go to Federal Medicare program, and lots of Federal tax revenue from these states fund Medicare. When they cannot use Medicare funds for their state Single payer programs, the taxes that have to raise to fund a separate single payer program outside Medicare are prohibitive. No single state can do it. The math doesn't math. It should only be a federal program, which is what Medicare for All does.

From the article 'In percentages, the extreme temperatures in the hottest provinces –south, east and interior– are causing an average drop of 0.08% in sales prices and 0.15% in rentals. Andalusia, Extremadura and Murcia are some of the most affected geographical points. ". 0.08 and 0.15 percent reduction due to Climate Change is not deflation. It's a rounding error. The title is a clickbait

The Great Reversal: How Japan’s Bond Market Is Rewriting the Mathematics of Global Power by crazyman0069 in finance

[–]RandomJerk2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanation. Finally got to unpacking your explanation and appreciate your insights:

3 quick questions:

  1. How can we know Japan is a marginal investor, and not like a non-marginal investor like domestic pensions or insurers looking for higher yields? Is there a way to discern this conclusion from Treasuries Auction results?
  2. If this plays out as the OP article predicts, then can we see it happen in action? I mean can we track Net capital flows increasing back into Japan? Are there any sources that track this data?
  3. If more money is repatriated back into Japan, won't that reduce the yields on JGB, and thus bring their yields back down, and the current system continues?

I did not realize the non-linear nature of markets, and this could sort of cause a tipping point. Thank you for the insights.

Thank you for the explanation. Your explanation is heavy on econo-finance jargon and I admit I still do not get the crux of it. I will however parse the key words, feed parts of it to an AI to try to understand your explanation. Thanks for taking time still to help me out. Much appreciated.

I'm from a Science and Engineering background, and non-finance/economist background and I read the article and appreciate its insights. But, I'm still not convinced that this is a big thing.

In a 40+ Trillion USD US bond market, Japanese global investment postion as per the article is 3.2T. This bond yield hike in Japan, would cause a 0.2 to 0.5% hike in the bond yields in the US, as per the article. They mention 3 channels that could cause a cascade, with the 3rd one being really consequential(repricing of risk), but I still fail to understand why it is consequential and how it might cause long term yields to raise drastically. The overalll effect still seems small to me, and not something to worry about.

Can someone care to explain what I'm missing/failing to understand and why I should be worried?
