FOX NEWS: If you're a young person and you're disenchanted, you can't afford a home, you're having trouble with healthcare & you feel failed by the economy, what is the Republican alternative?

AVFTCN 042 – How Many Satellites Are Planned for LEO? (Also… Australia travel)
How many satellites are currently planned for low Earth orbit (LEO)? 10,000? 100,000? 500,000? 1,000,000? 10,000,000?

"Using Treasury funds to prop up the bond market and hold down borrowing costs is the kind of move "troubled emerging market countries used to do" and it's already making the dollar look like a weaker bet.
"I feel like we need ominous music to play when we talk about the bond market," Berman said. "Tremors in the bond market requires, like, dark, bleak music."
