re: America borrowed $43.5 billion a week in the first four months of the fiscal year

I hate quoting AI, but:
The Federal Reserve purchases U.S. government debt (Treasury securities) using "newly created" digital funds, not physical cash or taxpayer money. The Fed credits the reserve accounts of commercial banks or primary dealers from whom they buy the securities, essentially increasing the electronic balance in the banking system.
Key details regarding this process:
Creation of Reserves: When the Fed buys bonds, it credits the seller's account with reserves (deposits at the Fed), which increases the money supply.
Open Market Operations: These purchases are made in the secondary market (not directly from the Treasury) to influence interest rates and provide liquidity.
"Quantitative Easing": During economic downturns, this process—often referred to as Quantitative Easing—is used to inject money into the economy.
Asset Growth: The Fed has historically used this method to accumulate trillions in Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities on its balance sheet.
In essence, the Fed pays for government debt by expanding its own balance sheet, effectively creating money.

It was a Nico Jackson level miss. It was harder to miss that shot than make it.

Hopefully Rosenior can get the line-up right the first time.
I've seen that Reese James is not expected to play. I think Santos is questionable too.
Seems like the only potential area to screw it up is on the wings. If Estevao is available, he should start.

re: Does anyone here feel shame supporting a Big 6 club?
Posted by bulletprooftiger on 2/4/26 at 10:34 am to southpawcock
Not at all. I have no local, historical, or family connection to any club, so there is nothing I am forsaking. The Big 6 are all over the media and easy to access. They also have the best players.
I want to support a team that I can easily watch and that plays good football.
If a group of English people decided to pick college football teams to support no one would pick Mississippi State (I think they are Palace in this analogy), let alone a G5 like North Texas (Championship Team) or some DIII team (lower division).

And Epstein , particularly an e-mail Epstein did not disseminate, is believable because . . .
To be clear, I think a lot of this stuff is bogus. That is why no serious action was taken on it.

They expanded the field from 32 to 48, so the ratio got smaller but any team that would have been in the top 31 still gets to participate.

It was a bad look to give up the goal, but it was entirely on Enzo Fernandez. He flopped on the goal line and obstructed Sanchez. At that point 5 subs were on for Chelsea too.

Agree with all you said.
Do we see Lavia again this season?

This post misrepresents the study by a mile…
Abstract of Study
VICE article
quote:
Our findings suggest that female choice and male-male competition have jointly favored larger penis size, greater height, and more V-shaped bodies in men.
Abstract of Study
quote:
“Women rated larger penises as more attractive, especially on tall, broad-shouldered figures. The appeal of a bigger package climbed, then stalled. Past a certain point, size stopped adding much. The men’s ratings were a bit different. Men treated size as a straightforward indicator of competition. As size increased, so did perceptions of physical strength and sexual threat, and those judgments kept climbing as the trait became more exaggerated.”

While the game against Pafos was uninspiring, I don't know what else CFC could have done. The official disallowing Enzo's goal was a terrible call and it allowed Pafos to continue to just sit back with 10 in the box all night. CFC kept attacking, got 15 corners, and converted 1 of them. As Jimmy pointed out, the Pafos goal keeper made some world class saves on Hato and Caicedo.
I don't think the front office was dissatisfied with Maresca's tactics. They clearly butted heads over lineups. Maresca making known that he was interested in the MC gig was the final blow.

This game was a testament to how thin the margins are. CFC has been on the other side of these games including this season. I’ll take the W. Hopefully Rosenior can get his tactics right for next match.

I’ve said it before on this site, but to me Tre’ is the best man-to-man cornerback I watched play at LSU. He locked down his man for four straight years. You didn’t hear his name because teams just didn’t throw at him.

I don’t know what came first: EM flirting with MC or the club telling him who he could play. The defensive lineup last match was baffling. In retrospect to me it seems EM made that lineup as a frick you message to ownership.

The ownership clearly doesn’t care about winning now. They want a coach who will do what they tell him to do when they tell him to do it.

Here is what I can’t understand: Delap carried the load just fine at Ipswich with much less support. Why has he regressed this year with what should be an easier job? I will give him some slack because of his time away, but he should have been doing much better yesterday.
I also don’t understand all these drastic lineup changes. Rest Cuch or James, but not both at the same time.
I think it is clear that CFC is more dangerous with Estevao and Neto on the wings. They should get the most playing time.
