"The #fiscal pressures on the #US #Government have risen after it paid the highest #borrowing #costs to sell long-term #bonds in a quarter of a century. An auction of 30-year US #Treasury bonds last night showed that #investors are demanding a heavy premium to take on long-duration US #debt, amid concerns over the risk from #inflation & the country’s rising #nationaldebt."

https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/jul/11/labour-mps-andy-burnham-overseas-aid-development-spending-levels. #Labour under #Burnham can't restore #overseas #aid to previous levels, preserve #social #spending AND increase #defence spending, all with no extra #publicsector #borrowing, without increasing #taxation - that is simple arithmetic. If they increase #taxes, the taxes should be #progressive, & fall most heavily on the #wealthy & #BigBusiness, NOT the #poor!

“Those looking for signs of stumbling ( #MarketCrash ) may have found confirmation after a series of developments on Monday. The stock market drop started when #Google -parent, #Alphabet, had its worst day on the market in over a year. A pair of high-profile #AIResearchers left the company last week, worrying investors. Alphabet’s share price had dropped 5% by closing Monday.
#ElonMusk’s #SpaceX, which debuted on the market on 12 June to much fanfare, dropped 16% on Monday as the company’s post-initial public offering (IPO) boost continued to ebb. On Monday, the company announced it is looking to raise $20bn in a bond sale, even after the company gained more than $85bn through its IPO, sparking concerns over the massive cost of the company’s projects.
“ #SpaceX is not yet part of the #Nasdaq indices, but the fact that it is jumping on the bond train to fund excessive #AI and infrastructure spending revives earlier concerns that #BigTech may be spending too much on #AIInfrastructure and increasingly financing that spending through debt,” said Ipek Ozkardeskaya, a senior analyst at Swissquote, noting that #MorganStanley has estimated that AI-related #borrowing will surpass $500bn this year”
The economic-soothsayers are concerned. 🧙♂️🧙♀️<https://theguardian.com/business/2026/jun/23/ai-stocks-sell-off-us-markets>

A #bond rout is deepening as #inflation fears take hold of the Treasury #market, threatening to raise #borrowing #costs across the #US #economy.
The 30-year US #Treasury yield just hit 5.2%, its highest level since 2007, rising on worries about persistent price hikes because of the #IranWar. #Unsustainable government #finances & #InterestRate hike fears have also sent investors pouring out of Treasury bonds. Yields rise when bond prices fall.

A quotation from Richard Steele
But however low and poor the taking of Snuff argues a Man to be in his own Stock of Thought, or Means to employ his Brains and his Fingers, yet there is a poorer Creature in the World than He, and this is a Borrower of Snuff; a Fellow that keeps no Box of his own, but is always asking others for a Pinch.
Richard Steele (1672-1729) Anglo-Irish writer, journalist, playwright, politician

Why then should I give my Readers bad Lines of my own, when good Ones of other People’s are so plenty? ‘Tis methinks a poor Excuse for the bad Entertainment of Guests, that the Food we set before them, tho’ coarse and ordinary, is of one’s own Raising, off one’s own Plantation, &c. when there is Plenty of what is ten times better, to be had in the Market. — On the contrary, I assure ye, my Friends, that I have procur’d the best I could for ye, and much Good may’t do ye.
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist

"The upshot for #Americans is that this country will be less powerful globally. The ability to apply #financial #sanctions only works if you control the levers of international #finance... Our #borrowing #costs will also go up as #demand for the #dollar diminishes - which means higher #prices... In the longer term it may also mean #austerity - if we can’t borrow to finance #spending... we’ll have to cut expenses to balance #budgets."

Goodwin & other investors stress that the sell America trade is more about hedging existing #US exposure, diversifying into other assets & deciding where to #invest new #money, rather than an attempt to leave the country entirely.
But over the past month, that #trading has fueled the sliding value of the #dollar, stalled the #StockMarket’s rise, increased government #borrowing #costs & sent the prices for precious metals like #gold soaring.

🤔 Ah, the riveting world of Rust's #borrow #checker, where reading from a place is akin to unlocking the secrets of the universe, but only if you adhere to the sacred algebraic rituals. 📊 Apparently, our brave adventurer believes a table of "ideas" will save us all from the terror of #mutable borrowing—because, you know, nothing screams breakthrough like a #spreadsheet. 📈

Probably the fact that Mandarin Chinese also has progressive markers that follow the verb make this easier (?)
