Reply to Why Interest Rates Should Stay High (ish). by ThetaGangThroweway

A well thought out, well articulated post on Wall Street bets? Where am I? Rather where are you?

The only disagreement I guess is that I think the Fed is going to fold over like an aluminum chair once things get bad. In my view, the Fed has developed a “never again“ view to 2008/2009 where deep recessions are unacceptable, and the first major signs of sinking in our economy will be met with similarly strong actions to re-orient the economy for growth. We saw this, never again approach at the early stages of the pandemic, the Fed was scared, and the more reasonable approach would’ve been to wait and see how much fiscal stimulus would’ve actually been necessary

I don’t think the fed is really as committed as it says it is, and so much of the economy at this point, relies on debt and borrowed funds and credit, that a crisis or even a sharp normalization would damage the economy far more than the GFC.

I personally thank you for some QC on wsb

My personal OPINION is one of medical reasoning. The desire for one to multilate themselves or inability to accept who you are as a person are very real problems that need to be addressed.

People with gender dysphoria deserve to be treated with dignity and respect as they overcome challenges, but at the end of the day, we as a society can’t be removing perfectly healthy body parts for mental problems. At the end of the day, there is no option than to accept who you are as a person. We can’t play this charade that we can change sex.

This strays a bit from the question but I’d give an “against” since you’ll get plenty of “for”. But again what is a “transgender right”?

Nobody even the most extremists think transgender people are less than human. People who are critical believe that reassignment only leads to more problems and the core of the issue is something else(anxiety). Nobody thinks revoking transgender peoples right to vote, so it’s a huge misnomer to generate reactions
