Maybe he could use this as an opportunity to free up his time to concentrate on being a good dad/husband.

"Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP): $12 billion. The new thingy that the Fed announced on Sunday. " Beautifully put!

They need to combat inflation like they did in the old days I.e. lower rates to near zero and every now and then redefine the criteria for inflation calculation. Problem ignored!... I mean Solved.

"That internal bullshit-o- meter is reading at the Red end spectrum currently." Great phrase nice one foto! Had a shit day at work and i needed a pick me up. Thanks pal!

Just a small addition I feel relegating you to position 6). I regullarly joke to my mates about small furry creatures who live under the cooker have more status than me!

25 years with Mrs Banter and still plodding on. (She too treats my rants with similar disdain) My only take on marriage is that "It's NOT a Democracy"
