Yes and no.
You get the market rate for your highly fungible regulated market instrument.
Investors are not emotional they can sell that shit and buy anything else from Silver to TSMC shares in a heartbeat. What makes it shit? Being a penny more expensive than the quant's model.
They can borrow from the FED real cheap using QE. But the only free lunch is the big bang! Printing money causes inflation especially in asset prices and causes bubbles.

> When SS was formed in 1935, average life expectancy at birth was just 60, whereas the full retirement age was 65. In effect, this resulted in close to 150 people paying in for every 1 recipient.
Extraordinary claim (less than 1% lived beyond 65)! Any citations?

There are phone apps that can pierce through all silent or DND settings. Get one of those. If the same app could buzz on less than 50% battery to remind to charge that would help. Also same app could request to confirm on call status so the don't forget. If they don't confirm someone else gets the shift.

Why not use statistics? Been reading about xmr charts recently on commoncog. That might help for example.
