It’s completely logical. The Fed dumped hundreds of billions into the banks as part of the Bank Term Funding Program at the same time as it employed its ‘backstops’.

This move by the Fed isn’t logical only if your frame of reference is that the Fed is trying to improve the economy for poor people.

If you understand that the Fed has manufactured a scenario where you can win as long as you don’t have FOMO - its literally manufactured to win - then the moves make complete sense.

Thanks to fractional reserve banking, hundreds of billions turns into trillions! It’s amazing

Sure, your ex has no opinion here.

But you and A do, so again, do you want to be in the situation where you're dating someone that your ex is close to?

And in all of the above, I mean this in the kindest way possible, but you said a lot, without saying much at all, we don't know if A has reservations about it too. Unless you thought he was referring to himself.

I commuted Portland to Augusta for 2 years, it was a bit rough since I worked late fairly often at the time, but totally doable, and with an efficient vehicle (my car gets 33-35 mpg) really not a big deal

My wife used to commute over an hour each way (without traffic) for many years. Bad weather, accidents, a butterfly farts in Japan...and that one way trip can nearly double in duration. The stress ended up affecting her health in the long run, and between that and the affect on family life, she dropped out her career job 100% for more soul satisfying work within a local commute.
