About Those ‘Safe’ Silicon Valley Bank Treasurys

About Those ‘Safe’ Silicon Valley Bank Treasurys - By The Editorial Board
  • Any asset can blow up a bank if monetary policy is bad enough
"...SVB held boring Treasurys and highly rated mortgage-backed securities in large quantities.
  • How could these supposedly safe assets go wrong?
...But what about interest-rate risk
For at least 15 years the Fed and other central banks have downplayed this risk—through their regulatory policies and their loquacious forward guidance concerning monetary policy. 
Their promises to suppress interest rates to abnormally low levels for extended periods encouraged banks and others to believe sovereign bonds would hold their market value.
But not forever, it turns out...

"...a religion... about power and control..."

DeSantis Is Right About Ukraine

DeSantis Is Right About Ukraine
"...The Ukrainians have to do what the Ukrainians have to do – I do not blame them for trying to wring dough and bombs out of Uncle Sucker.
Nor am I upset that they appear to prefer to fight and die rather than enter into negotiations that will leave Russians on their territory. 
I get it. They are patriots supporting their country. 
  • But we normal Americans are patriots too, and our country is the United States. 
  • We expect Ukraine to pursue its national interests, but we expect America’s leadership to pursue America’s national interests. 
  • And it is in our national interest to get this war ended, even if it means Putin holds ground his forces conquered.
The whiners will whine that this is a betrayal of Ukraine. 
It’s not. 
We cannot betray a country that it not our own. 
It is instead a rational and ruthless bit of realpolitik – we must pursue America’s interests, not Ukraine’s. Ending this war is in America’s interest...

Rothstein, who stated that she is "proud as f*** to be liberal," insisted that educators should not prioritize teaching students math and science but instead provide lessons on anti-racism and "how to be kind."

"As a teacher, I wish we could do more with our students, like teach anti-racism and how to be kind people. Does anyone else feel like … we can skip the math, skip the science, like we'll do that next year. Maybe this year we focus on teaching our youth how to be anti-racist," she said in one TikTok video.
