@spencercox.bsky.social The EPITOME of conservative white privilege - white wealthy elites in positions of authority/power excusing other white wealthy elites breaking: the law, abusing the constitution, our societal norms, while loudly demanding “justice” for everyone else’s criminal behavior.

A trailer park in deep blue East Palestine, Ohio might seem like a strange place to meet a Trump supporter. But over heated discussion of Brandon Aiyuk's contract status, you can hear whispers that DEI is the reason a good prostitute costs $140.

sorry but this is the most obviously entirely-AI-generated op-ed ever. It has an "it's not X, it's Y" construction in both the first 2 paragraphs. Pangram has it as 100% AI. One of the most prominent billionaires in finance submitted this? The WSJ allowed it to run? are there no standards anymore?
The Treasury Department announced on Aug. 19 that it would double the size of its long-dated bond buybacks, from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation, aimed at the 10- to 30-year sector and running from Sept. 9 through Nov. 4. The announcement came after the 30-year yield touched a 19-year high. Yields fell within minutes. By the next afternoon they had round-tripped to levels above where they started. The market’s verdict was swift and correct: This wasn’t liquidity management, it was price management—and a mistake far larger than $4 billion suggests.

Treasury’s announcement gave the game away. It justified the larger operations as liquidity support in sectors with “consistent strong sponsorship from market participants,” but strong sponsorship is the definition of a healthy, working market. There were no failed auctions, no dealer balance-sheet seizure, no forced unwinds, nothing resembling Treasurys in March 2020 or U.K. gilts in September 2022, the sort of genuine dysfunctional episodes that justify official action. Volatility was contained, and trading was orderly—not a malfunction but the machine doing its job.a screenshot of Pangram showing the article is 100% AI
