one presumes this is the US sending a message about its demands on Bagram via the Pakistanis who owe one to the US

hilariously, this will happen on or about when dictation is Wispr quality or better and you won't need your keyboard as much. I do second the Select All item, it's beyond frustrating.

if we are not going to export dollars, and we are going to make countries spend more of thier own money, then thier cost of borrowing will go up, they will need to rotate out of dollar assets and then traders who use the carry trade will need to unwind them as the source of borrowing (other countries very low interest rates) are no longer very low, as we now see in UK, Germany, and Japan—each hitting very fast highs for interest rates for their govt debt.

It's much more straightforward math then reading of political or vibes tea leaves.

Are employees at google not being paid for what they're risking?

An investor risks their post tax capital, and then when it works like google gets the upside and when it fails they get...shares in blackberry or IBM.

An employee risks their time, which they are guaranteed by law at least for the time they risk, to be compensated in cash and benefits.

An employee also risks their reputation and career opportunity cost for which they get...checks notes...options that go up/down the same as an investor.

An employee is participating in both value buckets, and one might argue at Google specifically, in the most compensatory bucket proportion in the history of all people ever.
