Musk is the modern american Rasputin.
Nope. Musk is the modern Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, and Henry
Ford rolled into one man.

Edison and Ford yes. Westinghouse not so much as he was a real
inventor and not merely an exploiter of researchers and industrial
giant per-Edison and Ford. Mush is a hater like Ford and i believe
Edison held some irrantional prejudices as well.
Mush did have some Rasputin-like hold on American consciousness
but his foolish hacking away at government agencies has disenchanted
a great many of us, US citizens. Evil is banal and Mush is such.

1) A treasury bill has a maturity date between 4 weeks and 52 weeks.
The interest rate is fixed for the term of the bill, therefore
they won't all be "refinancing" in the next couple of months. The
current tbill rate is 4.2%, which is down from 5.25% a year ago.
TBill rates historically have averaged just under 3%.
2) TBills make up 25% of the total debt, the rest is in bonds and notes.
3) 100% of the coming inflation is due to tariffs and their knock-on effects.
4) Higher Tbill rates are good for those who hold them.
5) Your irrational devotion to the orange clown is pathetic, inflation
and the national debt will be far worse at the end of his term than
they are today as he completely tanks the economy.

"Foolish" doesn't cover it. "Inept" and "heavy-handed" are closer. But
mostly it is done to maximize headlines -- that is, for propaganda
purposes.

Maybe there is a time limit for free viewing. This particular comic
is, after all, a month old.

As to tariffs, Trump is apparently opposed to actually letting
consumers know how much of what they are paying is being paid to the >=46ederal Government -- ie, is in fact a tax under another name. He may
have intimidated Amazon (for now), but I don't think treating
consumers like mushrooms will work for long.

Digikey has been splitting out tariffs since 2018 which has been very
handy when I have been importing parts myself because I can compare their rate with the rate I am paying and know if there is a better declaration possible.
Apparently the crew at Digikey are going berserk trying to figure out the
new tariff schedules though.

Thinking about this...if you're Amazon (rather than, say, Temu) how do you disclose your tariff costs without disclosing your markup? If I'm buying
from Temu the tariff is going to be based on the price I pay. For Amazon it's the price THEY pay. I can't imagine Amazon would be happy about everyone knowing the markup on every (imported) product they sell.

They would be happier in spending their cash and credit in ignorance of
the Federal Sales Tax that Tariffs in the USA, at least
are?. Great thing about the California Sales Tax is that we have at
least an idea of the additional costs imposed.
On good reciepts here the Sales Tax is clearly shown.
