I’m lazy AF. I work 8-10 hours a week. I’d consider myself a “low achiever.” Is that supposed to be insulting? lol “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Mike, and Mission...... I understand that there is a distinction between a government shutdown where federal salaries get deferred and federal entities shut their doors and a full fledged Debt Default. I also understand that shutdowns happen all the time, but that the US defaulting on its debts has never happened (Came close in 2008). It seems that the ceiling is a bit elastic and that the admin/treasury might attempt to postpone some payments 'to itself' for a while. If there's a 'never before' event there, that would strike me as Default for the first time ever. It might be failure to pay interest on bonds that are actually held by the treasury itself, giving preference to bonds held by other nations or entities. Further, I expect that the administration might execute extraordinary measures to kick either can down the road. Do I understand more or less correctly? It's tricky for me to define what will constitute the technical default that will be a first ever event where Something happens that has never happened in a previous US government shutdown. Would you guys each care to take a $10 even money wager* that an assortment of Mainstream media don't call it with a headline close to 'US in Default' ... for first time ever. I'm thinking a selection of WSJ, UK FT, UK BBC, Reuters as the arbiters of whether technical default has happened.... By say 00:00 11/01/21 GMT For Clarity, I'm wagering that they will! I'm talking technical default of a kind that is exceptional in a significant way. The sort of way that Moody's might act on to reduce US bond ratings. *to be settled within 30 days by gift card, paypal, bitcoin or whatever else is acceptable. Thanks to Fleaswatter for that link. We can nominate impartial referees. Someone familiar with finance? Soopoo? Your suggestions? Offer closed to others for now. Mike, Mission, please PM me. You may CC each-other on matters related to this, as might I. |
