 Bond market = Seagulls nostr:note1q4hmt9frm0h5g3vayhp0gfkcrmakpe5dcatse4uz7890xxtht4us3knm72

 Savage :p 
 Like pigeons in NYC but hungrier. 
 So basically: sitting in 5% treasuries when real inflation is above 5% means your purchasing power is getting run over. I mean I guess, but we all need some dry powder right? What if Trump wins and 'fires everyone' as Hillary is saying he will. And isn't the long end mostly bought by the Fed now anyway? Not sure why that matters if they get run over slowly. Japanification 
 That's a great metaphor. In the seagull's view the car is a giant monster. Perhaps the speeding car can scare the seagulls away because of the noise and fast movement of the speeding car.

 This phenomenon is similar to boiling a frog in warm water.

 We are all seagulls at some point.

 Lol too fat and greedy and committed too much to move out of the way, man thats bleak  
 You know if you had skills you wouldn't need to live on other people's money. 
 I thought it was obvious  
 filthy seagull fiat savages can't resist the siren call of the 5% yield  
 Damn good chips 
 I heard that Stephen Seagal originally pronounced his name this way (by the same Sensei)
He was too fast with his techniques and broke Sean Connery's wrist
That is a junior black belt mistake (or one close to being one)
