What you’re getting at is known as the “risk free rate,” or the risk premium of leaving your money with another entity for a period of time. US gov’t treasuries carry a risk free rate; you’d just buy treasuries.


Gov't contractor


That sounds like work for a prime contractor with at least two subs under it. And consultants to help them implement SAFe AGILE.


Since the Fed owns so much of its own debt, couldn’t it just decide not to repay itself the principal when those treasuries mature?


> Since the Fed owns so much of its own debt,

The Fed(eral Reserve) and the federal government are not the same thing. The forming owning debt of the latter isn’t owning its own debt.


The two aren’t mutually exclusive and the roles change as the kid gets older.

When they’re newborns you are focused totally on providing: they can’t feed themselves, change their diapers, or bathe themselves.

When they get older they can do those things but then start having questions about the world and girls and faith. That’s when it really gets fun because you strengthen the bond.

So you’re always providing for the kid. Being there is the tougher part.


Any two things involving time that can't be done simultaneously are, to a degree, mutually exclusive.

You can't be running a code review and chasing a two year old around the house.

I also work in government consulting. The govt thinks “DevOps” is developers and ops folks sitting in the same room.
