Oh I don’t think China is going to invade Taiwan. At least anytime soon. This enables them to play the long game and wait for Taiwan to no longer have the resources to defend themselves or want to become part or China again or just be easily overwhelmed. -

The bond market has effectively decided it's had enough of the Strait of Hormuz remaining closed.
And Trump has apparently already caved on Iran's request to postpone nuclear talks until after an agreement to reopen the Strait:

The US and Iran appear to have put talks about Tehran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium on the back-burner in an effort to end their war, with both sides suggesting it's a subject for a later date.
Iran said it had "come to the conclusion with the Americans" to postpone the topic until the later stages of negotiations

But that wasn't enough for the bond market... the 30-year going over 5% seemed to be what finally got Trump to relent on his ridiculous initial reciprocal tariffs, and the 30-year has been over 5% for days, including going for over 5% at auction for the first time since 2007... even the 20-year is over 5%...
Quote
The 30-year Treasury yield BX:TMUBMUSD30Y this week topped the 5% threshold, the benchmark 10-year yield BX:TMUBMUSD10Y reclaimed the 4.5% for the first time since June 2025 on Friday, and the policy-sensitive 2-year yield BX:TMUBMUSD02Y climbed above 4%, also for the first time in 11 months.
All three rates are important to the Fed, banks and borrowers.

On Friday it finally became enough to start to sink the stock market.
Wonder how much higher yields will go before the Taco-Man Cometh.
Taco Monday? "It's rain- / in' tacos, hallelujah!"? We can pray...
Yeah, there has been a lot of stock manipulation going on. All to make the rich richer and fuck everyone else I guess. -

Strikes.
Boycotts, hit their wallets.
We are digressing, this is back into US pantomime thread territory.
A friendly mod can shift my diateibes over if they want.
Short version those no kings marches are more like Macys day parades now than a protest
Strikes become difficult in Right To Work states in areas without Unions to protect them. US businesses are happy to fire anyone that doesn’t come to work because there is always someone willing to take the job.
