Yikes. The 10-year bond yield climbed above 5.2% today for the first time since summer 2007.
Wall Street may think this is ok, but it's jarring for Main Street. This is painful for many Americans.
1) Mortgage rates are back above 7%
2) Auto loan rates are rising swiftly now too
3) Personal loans have been a lifeline for many moderate-income Americans, but those rates are also climbing
4) Refinancing is dead. Any household or small biz hoping to refi a loan is struggling
5) Many banks are sitting on bonds that yield under 5%, so they're having to hedge their holdings (to avoid selling at losses)
There's a lot of pressure building on the economy from higher borrowing costs.

A potent low will develop over Newfoundland late Friday and Saturday, then slowly move into the North Atlantic. This will generate strong northerly winds that will scrape parts of central and eastern Newfoundland on Saturday afternoon. #nlwx
Looks like he's favouring his right leg? Gimp with a limp.
How much more of this is still being covered up by the "church" and "religion"? Pathetic and disgusting.

Chantal Hébert likens the trade deal Canada walked away from to being asked to play strip poker in a bathing suit.
Come to Newfoundland and Labrador for a show. The true home of Canadian comedy influenced by British comedy.
Friends in Canada! 🇨🇦 This fall, I shall be journeying across your fine, frostbitten nation, hosting screenings of “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” followed by raucous Q&A sessions! Get your tickets at johncleeselive.com or hahaha.com, before they’re gone and you’re left explaining to your grandchildren why you missed the tall, cranky Englishman. #montypython #comedyshow

The notion of a referendum on a complex energy project for a population of people where roughly 50% either don’t understand or are petrified of a traffic roundabout is hilarious.
