econhook.bsky.social @econhook.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Oracle's bond yields (interest rates they need to pay on any new loans) are in the 8% range, which is quite high in today's market (US 10 yr bond at 5%). Oracle's stock has fallen 50% this year, which is consistent. 071

econhook.bsky.social @econhook.bsky.social · 17/09/2026thank you. Republicans make problems worse in nearly every category; under Trump they have added "law and order" and "national defense" to the list that already included the economy, environment, civil rights, healthcare, ... 001
econhook.bsky.social @econhook.bsky.social · 17/09/2026country wealth rankings have changed a lot in only the past few hundred years. In school we all study how Greece, Rome, Spain, etc had turns dominating the world in the last 2000 years. If you think you can predict that far in the future you are wrong. 020

econhook.bsky.social @econhook.bsky.social · 09/09/2026The US Economy was "The Envy of the World" under Biden, according to The Economist magazine. 020
econhook.bsky.social @econhook.bsky.social · 05/09/2026yes but it fits with the pattern that the worst thing people in Trumpworld can do is tell the truth. 1110
econhook.bsky.social @econhook.bsky.social · 05/09/2026A great simple analogy: US imports $1.9 trillion of goods from Canada, and Canada imports $1.0 USD trillion of goods from the US. The US has on net $0.9tr USD more stuff to consume, which it finances with IOUs. Why is this bad for the US??!! 100

Reposted by @econhook.bsky.socialBlue Oleta @blue-oleta.bsky.social · 22/08/2026And you definitely don't want to use a high-powered 532nm green laser, because it can permanently burn and disable digital camera CMOS or CCD sensors. Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array. 41685173687
econhook.bsky.social @econhook.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Here's a simple analogy of Bessent's strategy: Your bank, Bank A, is worried that you have too much debt. So you tell Bank A that you are going to borrow a bunch of money from Bank B and use that to pay off some of your loan from Bank A. Brilliant! 000
econhook.bsky.social @econhook.bsky.social · 21/08/2026How do you engineer a debt buyback when you have a $3tr deficit? any bonds you buy back have to be paid for by borrowings at other maturities, so all you can do is change the shape of the yield curve. What a stupid gambit. 020
econhook.bsky.social @econhook.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Remember, the national security threat posed by Hillary's private email server was a key reason many people voted for Trump in 2016. Is hypocrisy still a thing that matters? 000
econhook.bsky.social @econhook.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Trump: "When our country is strong, interest rates should go down. When our country is weak, frankly they should go up." Funny, in the 6 macroeconomics courses I took, none of them said that. 010
econhook.bsky.social @econhook.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I only had a few poli sci courses, but picked up a lot from WWII readings, esp Darkness at Noon & Gulag Archipelago. Movies like the Killing Fields and Lives of Others good too. 010
econhook.bsky.social @econhook.bsky.social · 19/08/2026The national economy does significantly better on nearly every measure under Dems vs. Republicans; blue states are wealthier than red states (and subsidize them!), blue cities are wealthier than red rural areas, but do go on. 010

econhook.bsky.social @econhook.bsky.social · 10/08/2026why is Hassett on TV so much? It clearly hurts the admin/party. 000
econhook.bsky.social @econhook.bsky.social · 10/08/2026bad faith! yet another case of MSM trying to hurt Dems. She gives R's softball questions and/or no followup when they lie. 000
econhook.bsky.social @econhook.bsky.social · 08/08/2026it's crazy that so many people believe Republicans are better for the economy, when the facts show so clearly that the economy does better on nearly every measure w/ Dems 021
econhook.bsky.social @econhook.bsky.social · 07/08/2026because they find it in their business interest to choose which stories to cover and which not, and they have no journalistic integrity. 000
econhook.bsky.social @econhook.bsky.social · 07/08/2026this journalist is terrible, serving up the "great leaders have people who can tell them hard truths" line when Trump is the farthest thing from that. Bloomberg should be ashamed. 000
econhook.bsky.social @econhook.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Trump is still net negative on job creation in his overall time in office. By contrast, Biden averaged +300k jobs/month, and Obama +120k/mo. 000
