RE your last paragraph: Oil and stupid bidens energy plan are why inflation became runaway inflation. Remember that scare we had? 10 dollar gas and 15 dollar diesel. That, friends, was the cunt hair that broke the cameltoe’s back.

Ignore the idiots replying to you. They're clearly regards who don't know shit about fuck

Although buying bonds may have some opportunity cost (i.e., if the market crashes before your bond matures, you miss out on buying stocks for a low price) they're a decent investment right now thanks to super high federal reserve rates, volatile markets, and slowly (but steadily) decreasing inflation.

And, as always, treasury bonds are essentually 100% safe and guaranteed ROI. If treasury bonds failed, your money in them would've been worthless anyway.

As with all things in any investment decisions, it's trade-off of risk vs return. If you hold cash, you risk devaluation thanks to inflation but you also have the possibility of immediate liquid funds in the event of a crash. If you buy bonds, you risk losing the opportunity to buy stocks at market-crash prices, but have guaranteed ROI if held to maturity.

But to answer your question, "to stay afloat," yes. Absolutely.

If an AP econ eassy I would give it an A. Got all the basics correct just none of subtleties. The sexy parts.

Nothing as sexy as debt. Look deeper into interest rates, bonds, taxes and money. Then read about banks.

Then, maybe, invest accordingly. Or listen to the high school kid.

even if we let the bank fail. The c suite will still get paid at least until the collapse.

Preferred Shareholders still get paid until the bank collapses and majority still get paid back afterward.

Bank goes under. Another pops up in its place. Probably under the same foolhardy management scheme that failed the first time around with identical overpaid assholes running it into the ground.

God save us all.
