You dudes forget the fed chair needs senate confirmation?

I'm not sure if you've been following anything at all, but if Trump wants a 5 year old with special needs to be the fed chair, a 5 year old with special needs is going to be the fed chair.

This is as silly as when you guys were dead set that mass deportations of American citizens were imminent. The short list is already out there. Spoiler alert it's old white economist finance types like it's always been.

Kevin Warsh, Chris Waller, Scott Bessent, David Malpass, and Kevin Hassett.

A 300k house with 20k down would be a $2500 payment.  That's $7500 a month in post tax income per month to be at 33%.  That seems well within reach for a young couple buying their first home.

I think remote jobs are becoming increasingly more rare.  Feels like the come down off the peak of CC miles and points when you could churn the ever loving crap out of all the cards 24/7

The job market is interesting right now. Anecdotally  it seems like a very challenging labor market for job seekers, at least white collar,  right now but unemployment numbers overall are fantastic.

Does this mean that if any certain state doesn’t file a lawsuit within 30days of any EO, the. That EO is effectively law in those states?  Wouldn’t this essentially make Don the law in most of the states?

No? What I'm saying is what's to stop a putative (would-be) plaintiff with standing from seeking certification of a class of persons similarly situated, i.e., persons affected by the particular policy or law at issue? The effect of that would be a nationwide injunction that bars government action against a person only if that person is a (named or unnamed) member of the class (and the class is comprised of only persons affected by the policy/law, to begin with). Does that make sense?

I read this and realized how clams feels reading the farming thread

I'm going to need @Spracne to give me a simple breakdown of what this ruling really means.  Seems like a bit of a nothing burger to me.
