To a lesser extent, the Main Street Lending Program could support small business. It’s definitely notable that Mnuchin wants to end the programs that could help public employees and small businesses, now that the threat to investors has subsided.

My problem is that I don’t believe the Fed would actually do anything of value with the authority granted it.

It’s been eight months so far; two MLF loans have been made, despite widespread pressure from Democrats. The theory is that Treasury has been the roadblock all along to lending freely or using the money cannon in any unorthodox way. However, the Fed has plenty of authority to aid state and local governments outside of the money cannon, without Treasury having veto power over it.

Facebook made me angry.
Twitter made me furious.
Reddit made me curious.
But only CoSo encouraged me to be kind.

Bird or fish? This little fish is a Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker and it's armoured with tubercules! Basically warts. It's pelvic fins have evolved into a large suction cup, so it can stick to things, cause it's not a great swimmer. Cute though!

Today, tomorrow, the foreseeable future holds an extra-heavy sense of portent as the US navigates the election and the aftermath.

For this next stretch, hold your expectations of yourself and others with a soft grip. Strive for patience. Go slow. Focus on your values and the folks who matter most to you.

Settle into the present moment as much as you can and prioritize your well-being—even in very small ways.

Take care of yourself—the future needs you.
