In the seventh month of the virus pandemic, New York City is still in shambles, with more than half a million residents unemployed as the small business collapse continues. Broadway is closed, Manhattan offices are empty as remote work dominates, violent crime is surging, and an exodus of people from the city has created a perfect storm of economic chaos that will hunt many New Yorkers for years.
A byproduct of the virus-induced economic downturn is food and housing insecurity for millions of people in the Tri-state area. Deep economic scarring produced by permanent job loss has left many people in a bind; some working-poor may never recover while others could take years.
Food and housing insecurity will be, or should be, a hot subject as millions in the Tri-state area are suffering ahead of the holidays.

investmentwatchblog--2020-10-21--UK sees a worrying rise in inflation and record borrowing

Today has brought quite a panoply of UK economic data some of it which is hardly a surprise , but there is a section which is rather eye-catching and provides food for thought .
It will only be revealed at the Bank of England morning meeting if someone has the career equivalent of a death wish .
The pattern for these numbers has been for a rise as CPI-CT initially dipped in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and fell to 0.4 % in May .

If we look back we see that it has been regularly above 2 % per annum but after a brief dip to 1.7 % in June it has gone 2.1 % , 4.1 % and now 5 % .
Something that the Bank of England should be investigating as these seems to be quite an inflationary surge going on here .
It is so strong that it has overpowered the good section ( -0.4 % and the energy one ( -8.5 % @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Nothing to see here , move along now please Of course the official Bank of England view will be based on this number .
On that road they can vote for more QE bond buying next month ( another £100 billion seems likely ) and if one policymaker is any guide they are looking ever more at further interest-rate cuts .
That is hardly a ringing endorsement but there is more .
So should there be a vote on this subject he will vote yes to negative interest-rates .
Returning to inflation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ misfire .
In fact in terms of the establishment ’ s objective it has been a disaster .
The issue here is that the measure which was designed to give a lower inflation reading is giving a higher one than its predecessor CPI .
Even worse the factor that was introduced to further weaken the measure is the one to blame .

This is quite different to those who do rent and for them it is included .

Today has brought quite a panoply of UK economic data some of it which is hardly a surprise, but there is a section which is rather eye-catching and provides food for thought. It will only be revealed at the Bank of England morning meeting if someone has the career equivalent of a death wish.
The annual rate for CPI excluding indirect taxes, CPIY, is 2.2%, up from 1.8% last month……The annual rate for CPI at constant tax rates, CPI-CT, is 2.2%, up from 1.8% last month.
The pattern for these numbers has been for a rise as CPI-CT initially dipped in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and fell to 0.4% in May. But since then has gone 0.5%,1%,1.8% and now 2.2%.
The sector driving the change has been the services sector which has seen quite a lift-off. If we look back we see that it has been regularly above 2% per annum but after a brief dip to 1.7% in June it has gone 2.1%, 4.1% and now 5%. Something that the Bank of England should be investigating as these seems to be quite an inflationary surge going on here. It is so strong that it has overpowered the good section ( -0.4% and the energy one ( -8.5%) both of which are seeing disinflation.
Nothing to see here, move along now please
Of course the official Bank of England view will be based on this number.
The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) 12-month rate was 0.5% in September 2020, up from 0.2% in August.
On that road they can vote for more QE bond buying next month ( another £100 billion seems likely) and if one policymaker is any guide they are looking ever more at further interest-rate cuts.
There is some debate about the scale of the stimulus that negative rates have imparted on these economies, but the growing empirical literature finds that the effect has
generally been positive, i.e. negative rates have not been counterproductive to the aims of monetary policy.
That is hardly a ringing endorsement but there is more.
My own view is that the risk that negative rates end up being counterproductive to the aims of monetary
policy is low. Since it has not been tried in the UK, there is uncertainty about this judgement, and the MPC is
not at a point yet when it can reach a conclusion on this issue. But given how low short term and long term
interest rates already are, headroom for monetary policy is limited, and we must consider ways to extend that
headroom.
So should there be a vote on this subject he will vote yes to negative interest-rates.
Returning to inflation measurement there has been something of a misfire. In fact in terms of the establishment’s objective it has been a disaster.
The Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers’ housing costs (CPIH) 12-month inflation rate was 0.7% in September 2020, up from 0.5% in August 2020.
The issue here is that the measure which was designed to give a lower inflation reading is giving a higher one than its predecessor CPI. Even worse the factor that was introduced to further weaken the measure is the one to blame.
The OOH component annual rate is 1.2%, up from 1.1% last month.
OOH is Owner Occupied Housing and is mostly composed of rents which are never paid as it assumes that if you own your own home you pay yourself a rent. That is a complete fantasy as the two major payments are in fact the sale price and for many the mortgage costs and rent is not paid. This is quite different to those who do rent and for them it is included. But there is another swerve here which is that the inflation report today is for September but the rent figures are not. They are “smoothed” in technical terms which means they are a composition of rents over the past 16 months or so, or if you prefer they represent the picture around the turn of the year. Yes we have pre pandemic numbers for rent rises ( there were some then) covering a period where there seem to be quite a lot of rent falls.
Returning to the inflation numbers the much maligned Retail Prices Index or RPI continues to put in a better performance than its replacements.
We are primarily funded by readers. Please subscribe and donate to support us!
The all items RPI annual rate is 1.1%, up from 0.5% last month.The annual rate for RPIX, the all items RPI excluding mortgage interest payments (MIPs), is 1.4%, up from 0.8% last month.
They still have mortgage payments reducing inflation which if the latest rises for low deposit mortgages are any guide will be reversing soon.
As to this month’s inflation rise then a major factor was the end of the Eat Out To Help Out Scheme.
Transport costs, and restaurant and café prices, following the end of the Eat Out to Help Out scheme, made the largest upward contributions (of 0.23 and 0.21 percentage points, respectively) to the change in the CPIH 12-month inflation rate between August and September 2020.
Borrowing Has Surged
The theme here will not surprise regular readers although the exact amount was uncertain.
Borrowing (PSNB ex) in the first six months of this financial year (April to September 2020) is estimated to have been £208.5 billion, £174.5 billion more than in the same period last year and the highest borrowing in any April to September period since records began in 1993; each of the six months from April to September 2020 were also records.
We looked a few days ago at a suggestion by the Institute for Fiscal Studies what we might borrow £350 billion or so this fiscal year and we are on that sort of road. As to the state of play we can compare this to what the Bank of England has bought via its QE operations. Sadly our official statisticians have used the wrong number.
At the end of September 2020, the gilt holdings of the APF were £569.2 billion (at nominal value), an increase of £12.2 billion compared with a month earlier. Over the same period, the net gilt issuance by the DMO was £22.7 billion, which implies that gilt holdings by bodies other than the APF have grown by £10.5 billion since July 2020.
That will be especially out for longer-dated Gilts which are being purchased for more than twice their nominal value on occassion. The value of the APF at the end of September was £674 billion. Looking at the calendar the Bank of England bought around £21 billion of UK Gilts or bonds in September meaning it bought nearly all those offered in net terms ( it does not buy new Gilts but by buying older ones pushes others into buying newer ones).
National Debt
The total here is misleading ironically because if the numbers above. Let me explain why.
At the end of September 2020, the amount of money owed by the public sector to the private sector was approximately £2.1 trillion (or £2,059.7 billion), which equates to 103.5% of gross domestic product (GDP).
That seems simple but a reasonable chunk of that is not debt at all and it relates to the Bank of England.
The estimated impact of the APF’s gilt holdings on PSND ex currently stands at £105.6 billion, the difference between the nominal value of its gilt holdings and the market value it paid at the time of purchase. The final debt impact of the APF depends on the disposal of these financial instruments at the end of the scheme. Further, the APF holds £19.7 billion in corporate bonds, adding an equivalent amount to the level of public sector net debt.
If we just consider the latter point no allowance at all is made for the value of the corporate bonds. In fact we can also throw in the Term Funding Scheme for good luck and end up with a total of £225 billion. Thus allowing for all that this is where we are.
public sector net debt excluding public sector banks (PSND ex) at the end of September 2020 would reduce by £225.6 billion (or 11.4 percentage points of GDP) to £1,834.1 billion (or 92.1% of GDP).
Comment
Some of the numbers come under the category described by the apocryphal civil servant Sir Humphrey Appleby as a clarification. By that he does not mean something that is clearer he means you issue it to obscure the truth. We have seen this consistently in the area of inflation measurement where the last decade has seen a litany of increasingly desperate official attempts to miss measure it. It is also hard not to have a wry smile at one inflation measure rising about the target as the Bank of England is often keen on emphasising such breakdowns. But a suspect a rise will get ignored on the grounds it is inconvenient.
Switching to the UK public finances we see that there is a lot of uncertainty as many tax receipt numbers are estimated. In normal times that is a relatively minor matter but at a time like this will be much more material. Also government expenditure is more uncertain that you might think or frankly in an IT era it should be. The national debt is also much more debatable that you might think especially with the Bank of England chomping on it like this.

The Two Reasons to Fall
The first of the reasons that influenced investor confidence and the stock price is information that the number of Tesla electric car registrations in California decreased by 13% in the third quarter of 2020.
California is the largest domestic market for the company. According to the Reuters report, about 16,000 vehicles were registered in the third quarter. While this represents a significant increase over the second quarter (during which there were about 9,800 electric vehicles registered), the figure is still worse than in the third quarter of 2019.

The second reason for the fall is that Tesla confirmed the presence of a design flaw in its Model 3, which led to the loss of the rear bumper when driving through puddles. According to Electrek, although the issue has been known for two years, the company has only now officially acknowledged the problem. Besides, Tesla said that fixing this problem will be included in the guarantee, so investors are probably worried about the possible impact of this step on the company’s bottom line.
The trade Volume Was Two Times Lower than Average
Despite these difficulties, Sawyer Merritt, market analyst and co-founder of Twin Birch, points out that Tesla’s share price decline occurred at half the daily average volume, 35 million shares vs 71 million. This suggests that this decline is not a signal for the beginning of a bullish trend, as it is not confirmed by sufficient volume.

investmentwatchblog--2020-10-21--There Is A Solution To Big Tech Censorship – But No Politician Will Touch It

This article was written by Brandon Smith The issue of censorship by major tech companies is a precarious one , and I ’ m becoming increasingly suspicious of the nature of the debate .
There are some complexities , but it can all be boiled down to this : Big tech social media conglomerates argue that their websites are like any other private business and that they are protected from overt government interference by the US constitution .
In other words , they have a right to platform or deplatform anyone they choose .
Of course , this is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have argued in the past when it comes to private businesses refusing to cooperate with people they disagree with on basic principle , such as LGBT activists , but let ’ s set that hypocrisy aside for now .
Social media companies have decided that the people they want to deplatform most are conservatives , along anyone else who disagrees with hard left ideologies such as social justice or the handling of the pandemic situation .
Statements or content that run contrary to leftist philosophies are simply labeled “ hate speech ” or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Conservatives argue that big tech is a monopoly with far too much power , that social media should be treated more like a public resource or “ town square ” and that these companies are violating the free speech rights of conservatives by specifically targeting them for censorship .
Many conservatives are also demanding that Donald Trump and the government step in to regulate or punish such companies for these actions .
The truth is that both sides are right , and both sides are wrong .
The real solution to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we view the institution of corporations and how they interact with government , and it ’ s a solution I doubt ANY political official will consider , and that includes Trump .
Social media and big tech do in fact represent a monopoly , but not in terms most people are familiar with .
Instead of acting only as an economic monopoly controlling market share , big tech is also a political monopoly controlling the majority of communication platforms .
If only one political and social ideological group dominates every major social media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my view represents a completely unbalanced power dynamic that does indeed threaten the free speech rights of the populace .
Rabid censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal , a scandal that is supported by facts and evidence that big tech has chosen to bury because it ’ s inconvenient to them rather than a violation of their community guidelines , is just one more example of the incredible danger that social media monopolies present .
Obviously , there is the issue of private property rights to consider .
I fully support and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ believe that a business has the freedom to refuse service to anyone for any reason .
Just because you open your doors to the public does not mean the public now owns your labor .
You should have the right to refuse labor whenever you wish .
If a business refuses a customer based merely on personal bias , then word is going to get around quickly and that business may lose a large number of potential buyers in the future ( this is happening right now with multiple alternative social media companies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ market should determine the fate of that business , not state or federal governments .
Government itself is an untrustworthy entity that craves a monopoly of power , and by handing government the authority to micromanage the policies and internal practices of web companies we might be trading the big tech monster for an even more dangerous governmental monster .
Who is to say that the government will stop with sites like Facebook or Twitter or Google ?
Maybe they will exploit their newfound powers to go after smaller websites as well .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ entire internet .
Maybe they will start dominating and restricting conservative websites instead of the leftist conglomerates we intended , and then we will be doubly screwed .
If you value freedom and the Bill of Rights , then this debate leaves us at an impasse .
Both sides ( perhaps conveniently ) lead to a totalitarian outcome .
The thing is , the publicly presented argument is a contrived one , a manipulated discussion that only presents two sides when there are more options to consider .
The narrative is fixed , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been led to believe that government and corporations are separate tools that can be used to keep each side in check .
This is a lie .
Big government and big corporations have always worked together while pretending to be disconnected , and this needs to stop if we are to ever defuse the political time bomb we now face .
To solve the social media censorship debacle we need to examine the very roots of corporations as entities .
First , corporations as we know them today are a relatively new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a corporation as a “ joint stock company ” in his treatise ‘ The Wealth Of Nations ’ , and stood against them as a threat to free market economics .
He specifically outlined their history of monopoly and failure , and criticized their habit of avoiding responsibility for mistakes and crimes .
Joint stock companies were chartered by governments and given special protections from risk , as well as protection from civil litigation ( lawsuits ) .
But , they were supposed to be temporary business entities , not perpetual business @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the creation of a joint stock company to finish a particular job , such as building a railroad , and once the job was finished the company was dissolved and the government protections were no longer needed .
Smith knew that if corporations were ever allowed to become permanent fixtures in an economy , they would result in disaster .
This is exactly what happened in 1886 when the Supreme Court allowed companies like Southern Pacific Railroad to use the 14th Amendment , which was supposed to protect the constitutional rights of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to declare corporations as “ legal persons ” with all the protections of an individual citizen .
Not only that , but with limited liability , corporations actually became super-citizens with protections far beyond normal individuals .
Corporations became the preeminent force in the world and it was their relationship with governments that made this possible .
This fact completely debunks today ’ s notion of what constitutes free markets .
Corporations ARE NOT free market structures .
They are , in fact , government chartered and government protected monopolies .
They are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and therefore they should not exist in a free market society at all .
The alternative option to corporations was for businesses to form “ partnerships ” , which did not enjoy protection from government , limited liability or the ability to form monopolies .
When the owners of a partnership committed a crime , they could be personally held liable for that crime .
When a corporation commits a crime , only the company as a vaporous faceless entity can be punished .
This is why it is very rare to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how egregious and catastrophic their actions .
Today , certain corporations continue to enjoy government protections while also enjoying government welfare .
Meaning , these companies get a legal shield while also basking in the advantage of tax incentives and taxpayer dollars .
For example , Google ( Alphabet and YouTube ) has long received huge tax breaks and is rarely if ever forced to pay in full for the massive bandwidth the company uses .
In fact , YouTube was facing bandwidth affordability issues until it was purchased by Alphabet and Google @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worry about it – Google gets over 21 times more bandwidth than it actually pays for because of government intervention .
The same rules apply to companies like Twitter , Facebook , Netflix , Apple , etc .
All of them enjoy extensive tax breaks as well as cheap bandwidth that makes it impossible for small and medium sized businesses to compete , even if they operate on a superior model or have superior ideas .
Many times the corporations pay no taxes whatsoever while smaller businesses are crippled by overt payments .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a rule , but the current system deliberately crushes competition .
Again , we live in a socialist framework , not a free market framework .
Now that we understand the nature of big tech and what these companies actually are ( creations of government ) , the debate on social media censorship changes .
How ?
Take for example the fact that public universities in the US are not legally allowed to interfere with free speech rights because many of them survive by consuming taxpayer dollars .
They are PUBLIC institutions , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ treating major corporations that survive on endless taxpayer infusions and incentives as if they are private businesses ?
They are not – They are publicly funded structures chartered by the government and therefore they should be subject to the same rules on free speech that universities are required to follow .
Said corporations will surely argue against this and will attempt to use legal chicanery to maintain their monopolies .
Trying to dismantle them could take decades , and there are no guarantees that government officials will even make the attempt ?
Why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and corporations has been an advantageous one for establishment elites for decades .
Instead of challenging the corporate model in the Supreme Court , an easier option would be to simply take away all welfare and tax incentives for any big tech companies that refuse to allow free speech on their platforms .
If Google had to pay normal price for the bandwidth it uses , the corporation would either implode or it would be forced to break apart into multiple smaller companies that would then compete with each other .
More competition @ @ @ @ @ @ @ better products .
The threat of losing tax incentives would mean more large companies would refrain from censorship .
Donald Trump as president could conceivably make this happen , but he will not , and neither will any other political official .
The partnership between government and corporations will continue , I believe , because there are other agendas at play here .
The establishment WANTS the public to argue in favor of tech totalitarianism on one side and in favor of government totalitarianism on the other side .
They aren ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enter the discussion .
The only available strategy left for fighting back against big tech is to continue leaving their platforms and building our own .
This will take many years to accomplish .
The point is , there is a more permanent option , but it requires a complete deconstruction of the socialist government/corporate framework now in place .
To confront the power dynamic between governments and major conglomerates is to confront one of the fundamental sources of corruption within our society , which is why it won ’ t be allowed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ police itself , public upheaval becomes inevitable .

Many conservatives are also demanding that Donald Trump and the government step in to regulate or punish such companies for these actions.
The truth is that both sides are right, and both sides are wrong. The real solution to the problem requires a radical change in how we view the institution of corporations and how they interact with government, and it’s a solution I doubt ANY political official will consider, and that includes Trump.

This is exactly what happened in 1886 when the Supreme Court allowed companies like Southern Pacific Railroad to use the 14th Amendment, which was supposed to protect the constitutional rights of newly freed slaves, as a loophole to declare corporations as “legal persons” with all the protections of an individual citizen. Not only that, but with limited liability, corporations actually became super-citizens with protections far beyond normal individuals. Corporations became the preeminent force in the world and it was their relationship with governments that made this possible.

A new poll in the battleground state of New Hampshire indicates that voters who back President Trump are far less likely to express their support publicly than those who back Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
More than 60% of Trump supporters questioned in a University of New Hampshire Survey Center poll say they won’t put a Trump yard sign outside their home or a bumper sticker on their car because of fears of vandalism. That number drops by approximately half for Biden supporters wary of placing yard signs on their lawns or bumper stickers on their vehicles.

Clearly, the Fed reckons the public is foolish enough to believe the Fed’s money will actually be “free.”
It’s pretty much universally recognized that authorities use crises to impose “emergency powers” that become permanent. This erosion of civil and economic liberties is always sold as “necessary for your own good.” Of course the accretion of ever greater power in the hands of the few is for our own good. How could it be otherwise? (Irony off)
In this environment of “emergency powers”, it’s almost refreshing to find a power grab so blatant that its sheer boldness boggles the mind. I’m talking about the Federal Reserve’s FedNow, a proposed system of instant payments and digital dollars.
This paper from the Cleveland Fed describes the system: FedNow paper from clevelandfed.org (PDF) (via Cheryl A.)
The rationale for the system is two-fold: The Fed sees the current ACH (automatic clearing house) payment system used by banks as too slow and limited. Payments need to be instantaneous and there must be a way to reach unbanked households, the roughly 9 million U.S. households without a bank account. In the current system, stimulus payments couldn’t reach these households quickly.
The solution is a new payment system in which every household and business in the nation would have an account at FedNow, so the Fed can transfer funds directly and instantaneously into every household account (and presumably every business that the Fed has chosen to fund).
The second part of FedNow is the creation of a digital dollar which is just like the existing dollar with one tiny little difference: unlike cash (for example, a $20 bill), the digital dollars won’t be anonymous. Each newly created digital dollar will be trackable.
The Fed’s rationale is that panic-hoarding of coins and cash by households is a problem, as the Treasury has to go to a lot of trouble to mint more coins and print more cash. The FedNow digital dollars will be quick and easy to create and distribute–and, ahem, track.

Do you see the monstrous power grabs this we’re-here-to-help system would institute?
1. The power to borrow and distribute money that is currently reserved for the elected representatives in Congress would be bypassed by FedNow. Why wait around for slow, corrupt Congress to agree on stimulus, Universal Basic Income (UBI), etc.? With FedNow, the Fed can create trillions out of thin air and distribute the dough to households without any Congressional approval.
What’s interesting about this is that Congress has no power to stop the Fed from printing endless trillions and distributing the money however the Fed chooses. As an independent quasi-public agency, intended to be apolitical and outside the reach of corrupt politicos, the Fed is free to create and distribute as much new digital currency as it sees fit.
With FedNow, Congress has lost the government’s monopoly power to distribute funds. Congress can still borrow and spend money, of course, but the citizenry’s elected officials no longer have the monopoly granted by the Constitution.
2. The anonymity of the nation’s money will be lost to the Fed’s digital dollars. Perhaps the Fed will declare that only those who wear their underwear outside their clothing will avoid penalties. (Referencing the 1970s film Bananas.) Who’s to say what the Fed will track, and for what purposes? The Fed, that’s who.
There’s a whiff of desperation in these FedNow power grabs. It’s possible that the Fed has concluded that the elected legislative branch of government is now so thoroughly corrupt and dysfunctional that the Fed is forced to save the day, so to speak, by grabbing the power to create and distribute endless trillions to keep the increasingly impoverished and powerless citizenry from rebelling against the status quo.
The irony of course is that the primary source of the impoverishment of soaring inequality is the Fed itself, as the Fed’s “permanent emergency powers” of sluicing trillions in free money for financiers has goosed the wealth of the top 0.1% while leaving 95% of the citizenry worse off as wage stagnation and rising inflation has eroded the standard of living / purchasing power of labor.
It’s a nice trick, isn’t it? First the Fed creates the inequality that makes rebellion inevitable and then it rides to the rescue with a power grab that nullifies the monopoly over governmental allocation of money the Constitution grants to Congress, and it destroys the anonymity of the “free money” it plans to distribute in the ultimate bread and circuses.
Clearly, the Fed reckons the public is foolish enough to believe the Fed’s money will actually be “free.” Check out what you’ve lost before declaring anything “free.”
