@tregeagle Bloomberg thinks I'm a bot - they say because of the "suspicious activity" of disabling #JavaScript - so I can't say for sure, but I'm guessing they are assuming their readership has some prior knowledge of the workings of government bonds, central banks, and the banking system as a whole. I understand a lot of that stuff now, but only as a consequence of being interested in #MMT, five years on. You can't lead with that if you're seriously interested in engaging a non-technical audience.
