A lot of economic news from Politico Playbook: THIS WEEK’S BIG STORYLINE IN WASHINGTON — If there’s one thing the White House, economists and basically everyone who thinks about money can agree on, it’s that this is going to be a big week for economic news. — On Tuesday, we get new consumer confiden...

The Attorney General serves at the President's pleasure. If the President wanted Garland to charge Trump, he would do so. If he disagrees with that decision, he would resign. His present stance is therefore demonstrative of what the White House itself thinks. I think people should just wait until th...

:nod: However, given the uncertain economic outlook, the ECB is unlikely to signal a more aggressive tightening cycle than currently priced in by markets - 1% by end-2022, 1.25% by mid-2023," said Davy chief economist, Conall MacCoille in a recent preview note.

I see Bad Boy Bannon is off to the Big House after being found guilty of contempt. Meadows and a few others should probably join him but there we go.

Eldanielfire, puts you on the corner between centrist, left/liberal, and statist/authoritarian. I took a SWAG earlier at how I thought Biden and Trump would answer. Trump I had at 40/100 and Biden I had at 60/10, so you wouldn't be too far from Biden.

Oil Prices are in US Dollars, Problem is the weak Euro which is nearly on par with Dollar so prices won't come down as much as hoped here. Hopefully ecb interest rate rises helps the euro from falling further against the dollar Which it did until the ECB announced their new QE plans. An anti-fragme...

I find questions on taxes the pinnacle of populism. Who is ever going to ask to pay more taxes, and who is ever going to reject a tax cut? I think these questions should be more along the lines of the ones you have before: "the government should not be responsible for providing health care so that ...

The ECB raised its deposit rate to 0%, breaking its own guidance for a 25 bps move as it joined global peers in jacking up borrowing costs and ending an eight-year experiment with negative interest rates.

A club World Cup would be awesome.
It's not so much the competition itself, but they've already beaten the golden goose of the HEC half to death and now it seems it's to be finished off.

What's wrong with the Heineken Cup now?

pay rises will be fun end of this year. Are we looking at 5-6% pay rises across the board? Is this a serious question? Thanks. We are truly f ucked.

It was played in the spring. It was played in the winter. I think though the Argies (or Pichot perhaps more accurately) have told the U.S. and Canada "f#ck off, we don't need you" which leaves both in a bad spot as far as regular competition as can be seen with the Eagles' post-RWC 2019 schedule of...

Surely the 2035 RWC has to go to Argentina to support all the South American success, now?

There were plenty of people sounding the alarm bells on inflation.
