The Yellen testimony was unbelievable. She is such a failure that she cannot even handle the most basic requirement for anyone in high office in Washington: how to BS, if not convincingly then at least badly. She was like a deer in the headlights. The idea that anyone would pay this person $200 to speak let along $200K without there being an implied quid pro quo is hilarious.
Not that surprising but I can’t help smiling when I think of Yellen calling and expecting a kind great grandfatherly figure willing to make a painless deal and getting a surprise.

She should resign due to gross incompetence but no doubt she’ll stay another two years and then cash in even more than her last interlude out of government.
Honestly, this is 95% stream of consciousness. As I read, I email myself things that interest me, and then when I sit down to write I go through those emails, so I guess those are my daily "idea board."
A liberated Rudy is a good thing. If you have an email address for the FOMC I'll cover their subscription, it's important they know people are laughing at them...

Omg, I just read this… The “senior official” has to be Yellen!

I'm not surprised. I was thinking days ago, who knows banks better than anyone AND is solvent? WB.

Yep. Like Whenever I see Yellen threaten Putin I wonder if she scares or amuses him.

Yellen has been around since the 70's. Epitome of the Peter Principle.
No doubt Buffett will get to invest at half price and probably get a zillion warrants thrown in.
You are putting in the work today!
Janet dancing like fat on a griddle...her tell? Her mouth is moving.
Do you keep an idea board? Cause I bet that would be something to see.

The teacup in the toes prompted the thought.
I have a large archive of amusing pics and videos I've collected since the 1990's.
"YES, the top 10% get enriched when you “debase the currency.” The other 90% get hosed by inflation."
Should be the disclaimer on every piece of government spending legislation, especially if it includes the words Inflation Reduction Act in the title.

I think they're aware of me
