My dad flew 32 missions over Germany. He watched men die. 80% of his cohort did not return. He expected to die and made his peace with it. He told me once that when he returned home, he was struck by the trivial problems people had and obsessed over. After all, they weren't flying a mission tomorrow with near certain death.

He said whenever he felt down, he'd recall the men that never had a chance to grow old, and his problems would melt away.

I'm not sure I see that, depending what you mean by crypto liquidation. If you mean the prices of dogecoin etc. falling then that mostly just effects the number of Tethers changing hands between one speculator and another and wouldn't really affect the bond market.

If you mean Tether holders redeeming them for US dollars, that would involve selling treasuries but I doubt it would drive the price down that much. That's a very liquid market.

I mean tether redemptions. Hedge funds liquidating treasuries last year significantly distorted yields for a short while.

Armchair economist here - one implication of this is that a crypto liquidation will cause global interest rates to spike at a time when they will need to be lower to calm the markets.

Selling massive amounts of debt with no additional demand means the required return must be higher.

A job feed for remote jobs - https://tangerinefeed.net/

This is something I’ve needed myself over the last few years as jobs become shorter and shorter lived. Keep on improving it as some kind of compulsion.
