The DOW is down 1,300 points today. And that's the Good News.

The DOW is only 30 stocks. NASDAQ is 100 stocks and it's getting twice as bad as the DOW is.
[edit: it kept getting worse]
But the real bad news is in bonds. (reminder yields going up means prices are going down)

Open Thread - Thurs 05 May 2022 - End of the Roman Empire?
Submitted by Sima on Thu, 05/05/2022 - 5:30am
I haven't a lot to say this week about recent news and events. I think I'm becoming like the Jokerized Americans David Sirota writes about in this article at the Lever. Even the Roe disaster (see this good article at the Lever), for example, doesn't make me do more than go, 'wev' much of the time. We've been fighting this almost my whole life and will NEVER WIN BECAUSE THE DEMS DON'T WANT THAT, so I thought I'd relax and get all academic and delve into a bit of Roman stuff.
How the Right came to believe that they are the Defenders of Free Speech
Submitted by gjohnsit on Thu, 05/05/2022 - 12:24amI've spent enough time on right-wing web sites to know that conservatives honestly and truly believe that they are the defenders of free speech, and that the "left" is an enemy of free speech. They aren't hypocrites, because that would imply that they are dishonest. They are in massive and deep denial.

But now we have a number because someone did the math.
