People who use racist and homophobic rhetoric should expect to be called out.
Oh, Detector Dude, actually the only one of the two of us banned from site. I guess you have mended your ways lately. You can bolster your white guilt by listening to all thirty years of Al Sharpton speeches.
Life in CHAZ, a thing of beauty, a love fest:

Obviously I have not been banned, but nice try at deflecting.
That was several handles ago K5 Detector, impersonating my handles going on some crazy Arab/Israeli rant. How come you don't go there anymore?

What a surprise ... tag anyone who would dare to speak out about any facet of the left wing craziness as a racist. Weak, lazy and cheap.

I have no idea what you are talking about. No surprise there.

This was actually a couple of years ago, but don’t let that interrupt your self-righteous anger.
my p.c. lacks the liar emoji
the idiot and Seattle,
If you wish to hear from other Black voices on the problem in America they are posted,

look at the chart of TIP or STPZ or SCHP. going vert.
ok I see what you mean - probably the dividends have flattened the price of the ETFs.
To see how the return of TIPS has moved up let's look at total return regular treasuries vs TIPS:
Returns for one month:
SCHR (intermediate term treasuries): 0.08% (duration 5.2 years)
STPZ: 1.03% (duration 3.0 years)
When short term TIPS move up that fast in excess of regular treasuries...you have to think there is unexpected inflation starting to flow through the system.
Yeah I was about to say we must have very different definitions of "going vertical" because I looked STPZ and VIPSX (Vanguard TIPS ETF).
As for the relative increase, I don't know. Seeing as how the Fed injected quite a bit into the economy though, I'm not surprised and I don't think I'm really worried yet. Just looking at VIPSX between 11/2008 and 11/2009 shows it took off like a rocket and we ended up being OK.

You would have us believe:
1) Zero Hedge is not Right Wing
2) Dylan is not left leaning
3) CHAZ is not so much an expression of the right to protest as a Soviet style camp on American soil.
And finding fault with the above is left wing virtue signalling.
Okay, have a nice day!
Seattle,
CHAZ is a violation of law. The fact that your local government ignores enforcing variety of laws is a reflection of their ultra liberal leanings. What is missed here is those that are shocked and hurt by CHAZ, but too afraid to speak up. To do so risks being shouted down. The right to protest is no license to destroy both public and private property, no matter how you virtuous you think of the cause. Equal protection under the law is lost when distorted by politics.

I missed a great importunity to ask what ticker CHAZ is and if I can by options on it.
CHAZ: Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone in Seattle; protesters took overca six block area and drove the police out

Autonomous Zone? What did they do, declare themselves a little commune?
Yes, essentially. There is debate on the sequence of events, but the police boarded up the precinct in the area, and departed. Some say at the mayor’s direction. Trump has threatened to handle it, while the mayor tells him to return to his bunker. Interesting and strange. Pundits debating who is helped politically.

Not sure about that, but i do know it's not profitable, doesn't pay a dividend, and is being hyped beyond any inherent fundamental value. Typical penny stock play, here today, gone tomorrow.
Best you could hope for is maybe Amazon buying them out, being in Bezos' back yard and all.

the idiot,
The riots and social disruptions are an outgrowth of the Fed policies that saved the market, but not the jobs of millions of gig workers. It is political season and the Democrats have seized upon this moment of unrest, while the Republicans rush to get the economy open to quell the election threat, and praying there is no second outbreak.
BLM and ACAB is a distraction from liberal urban administrations that have failed Black communities. Minneapolis has been as bastion of liberal thinking and administration for decades. In Democratically administered Chicago Black on Black violence continues unabated.
Seattle does not have a large Black community (7%), but is ruled by Democrats with a heavy dose of white guilt. Years ago in King County where Seattle is located they changed its historical name from a man who once held slaves to Martin Luther King. I see nothing wrong with this, but illegally destroying statues in an attempt to re-write history is another matter. Last week in Philadelphia the protestors tore down a statue of an abolitionist (old is bad, tear it down) foolishly thinking it was a “bad white guy.” White guilt feeds the business of victimization. Al Sharpton is one of it’s biggest millionaires.
Clearly there is a growing realization in the Black community that the culture of victimization is a problem. I believe in the capacity of a person to better their life. Much of that hinges on accepting personal responsibility and hard work. I can both look at the death of George Floyd as being horrible, but also see the victim as a man who wasted his life. That was on him, and no one else. Why should I be ashamed of this post, or any of the others? I am pretty sure I have walked the walk as they say. If you find that view reprehensible, perhaps actually living and working in a minority communities might change your view.
