https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/17/fed-off ... licts.html
Amid an outcry about Federal Reserve officials owning and trading individual securities, an in-depth look by CNBC at officials’ financial disclosures found three who last year held assets of the same type the Fed itself was buying.

...

None of these holdings or transactions appeared to violate the Fed’s code of conduct. But they raise questions about the Fed’s conflict of interest policies and the oversight of central bank officials.
"raise questions", quite an understatement.

The fed has an $8 trillion (that is trillion, with a t) balance sheet. We are supposed have concerns because these chooches were buying municipal bonds while the fed bought $46 billion (translation: one half of 1% of the fed's total holdings)? mortgage back securites etfs didnt have a windfall either. Nickle and dimer stuff here.

For the Fed, sure.

For the individuals the report is talking about, it's rather more significant.

Why don't we restrict Afghan refugees to women and children? I'd much rather save as many of them as possible.

And it's safe to say a sizable percentage of Afghani men hold a worldview that is not really compatible with ours.

Lauren Boebert doesn’t believe in high school education for girls either. Or at least for herself…once again on the side of the taliban.

She also finds sexual assault of a minor to be erotic and a good way to find a husband.

Don’t understand the argument there. There are both men and women there that agree and disagree with the social restrictions.

There’s this other thing of…what does secondary school do for an Afghani woman? She can’t exactly get that analyst position at Morgan Stanley when she’s done.

It’s a relatively minor symptom of a much larger problem.

Today is RBG day. In which people whitewash the fact that her arrogance and selfishness will be her legacy.

She’s gonna be lumped with Breyer as space cadets who have no idea about the reality they live in.

It's really sad...heartbreaking, actually. Especially for the like 12-15 year old girls that have grown up under 'our protection'. They are unfortunately about to enter a world of hell, I fear. Agree with the concept that if we could scoop them up and bring them over (if they want) ...or at least get them out of there...I'd be on board. But that ain't gonna happen.

One of the “good guys” of the big lie won’t even honor a subpoena. Some investigation you got there. Really going places.

Maybe they can question the Shaman or someone I guess.

She should’ve stepped down when Obama had the opportunity to replace her. Instead, well you know what happened.

None of the lefty SCOTUS’s care, anyway. They vote how they’re supposed to vote and then they write a long form tweet tsk tsking Justice Boof, then keep their yaps shut and share the same space with Clarence Thomas without any complaints.

They’re high on their power, and stopped caring decades ago, if they ever did at all. If Breyer or the others on the dream team were the heroes people think they are, they’d be publicly pleading with Biden to pack the courts.
