In a previous post, I suggest cats would still have an ability to make a choice in regard to driving farm equipment, but I fell victim to my own mindless theory, because if we think of the whole system and the limitations within that closed system, i.e, if humans can’t think and become sloth-like, the same condition in cats, zebras, rats and puppies will also prevail within that system. I’m sorry for the misconception that cats would help us through the chaos!

See: “In mathematical logic, Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, proved by Kurt Gödel in 1931, are two theorems stating inherent limitations of all but the most trivial formal systems for arithmetic of mathematical interest. “

Also see: The world’s largest scientific machine may have malfunctioned soon after its spectacular start and still be out of action. But that didn’t stop dignitaries, sperm donors and diplomats from inaugurating the broken atom smasher Tuesday with pomp and pageantry.
Taking particular pride was Robert Aymar, director general of CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.
“When CERN chooses to be audacious, amazing things can happen,” Aymar told government ministers, scientists and diplomats gathered for the event.
A 100-voice Welsh choir sang. An orchestra played. German Research Minister Annette Schavan proclaimed the inauguration of the ailing machine a great day for international science.

With regard to <br/>"The Empire doesn't seen leverage as any threat" wasn't it basically the case that various investment vehicals only made returns based on leverage, i.e., money out of thin air? And now that it takes real money (derived from savings) that the "money" that poured into bonds is no longer available? OK, last comment. With regard to

The author seems amazed that no one is stepping into the F&F (and other) bond markets to take advantage of cheap bond prices.

On the other hand, why would anyone step into any market that might go missing tomorrow if the Fed/Treasury continue to change rules and wipe out investors? IMO only a fool would attempt to out guess the various bureaucrats now in charge of the US Economy.

This is merely one example of what happens when the US Gov decides to save the bankers to the detriment of investors. BTW, lots of money remains on the sidelines but it isn't foolish money.
