  1. You are a player, Armybrat. Happy New Year.
  2. She is a beauty AB. If I had that in high school, that bonnet would have been polished by Calvin Klein jeans.
  3. 150 mph gust at Rocky Flats (just west of the fires). Rocky Flats/Highway 93 is known for it winds, but that is nuts. @Beau Vineand @bolverk - Your loved ones are in my and my family’s prayers. Stay safe. It’s been a long year for Boulder County with the grocery store mass murder incident last March.
  4. It’s going to be a long night in Boulder County. Denver had some strong winds, but nothing like Boulder. From NCAR in Boulder, the winds were nasty: The winds knocked down powerlines and the winds spread the fires. Nasty. A lot of lost homes. No deaths reported yet. Hospitals in the affected area are evacuating patients to Denver. Tragically, the winds that spread the fire herald an incoming snow storm, which will bring calmer condition and moisture. Snow is expected by 10 am (Central time) in the affected areas. Fingers crossed that puts out the fires. Boulder County has wonderful public and private services for those in need - thank goodness. The people of Boulder County love to help those in need. Pray for snow.
  5. Why use the core inflation rate (CPI less food and energy) when energy and food inflation continue to impact markets and the economy? Seems inefficient when discussing the current environment. The Fed (FRED) publishes a chart that plots CPI v. CPI less food and energy data (core) if that is what you seek, CPI (Headline inflation rate and data) is the relevant data to capture a comprehensive look at the pervasiveness of inflation in this setting. And I think you are expressing your concern with the widespread nature of inflation. CPI (full) demonstrates your point rather well. Core is helpful (to me) when we have a sempiternal energy crisis while the rest of the economy is humming along nicely. That’s not now. but by all means, you do what works for you. We all process information differently. There is no one approach to data (that is until AI eliminates all inefficiencies). Good day.
  6. Core inflation does not include food and energy. Full CPI numbers (headline numbers) do include food and energy. Baby financial reporters screw this up all the time, so you are not alone.
  7. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Denver. No snow this Christmas.
  8. For those who think capitalism is a religion, the failure to pass this Bill should piss you off. Lost efficiency gains and lost profit for the private sector. The Lazy Boy capitalists of the Republican Party got fat and happy off their PPP Welfare checks from Chairman Trump. They are all in favor of plunging kids into poverty too. Don’t forget Sinema - and the more for me conservative Democrats in the House. So much money spent to keep people in poverty. Using anti-market tropes and utter hypocrisy as tools. What a world. Christmas sure isn’t what it used to be.
  9. How many children just plunged back into poverty (or deeper into poverty)? Ten million American children. Depraved.
  10. 60 billion loss in three quarters is not an insignificant loss to our economy - especially with the problems confronting the US domestically and in foreign policy with a more aggressive China and Russia. Manchin doesn’t give a damn about economics. He is doing the work his benefactors pay him to do.
  11. 60 billion dollar hit to the US economy over the next three quarters according to Goldman Sachs due to Manchin’s games. https://www.msn.com/en-in/money/news/joe-manchin-is-costing-the-us-economy-dollar60-billion-by-tanking-build-back-better-goldman-sachs-says/amp/ar-AAS0206 Economists are already forecasting what a BBB-free economy will look like, and early projections are gloomy. Goldman Sachs economists led by Jan Hatzius now expect US GDP to grow 2% in the first quarter, 3% in the second quarter, and 2.75% in the third quarter, according to estimates published Monday. Those projections are down from 3%, 3.5%, and 3%, respectively. If the revisions ring true, the difference in growth should add up to roughly $60 billion in economic losses over the next three quarters. Insider calculated the sum by taking the US's annualized GDP growth rate and calculating the differences in Goldman's prior and updated expansion forecasts.
  12. It’s a smoking gun in Trump’s wee hands. His delay either shows intent to carry through with John Eastman’s Constitutional tools for retaining power after losing an election. Or it shows he has such a depraved heart that he was indifferent or amused by the suffering he could stop but didn’t wanna. A child’s temperament with zero remorse.
  13. The noose is tightening. Meadows’ texts indicate Trump calling the shots that day.
  14. Beards may be necessary (or the divorce rate might spike)
  15. Incipient verbal diarrhea not going away.
  16. First thing we need to do is round up the architects and make them squeal.
  17. Horns up for Cedric. Too young.
  18. Best post in this divisive thread.
  19. And the best wanna song is . . . Pulp - Wanna live like Common People
  20. Whitney>Spice Girls
  21. Environmental arbitrage and greenwashing (if true, and I have no reason to doubt what you are saying). California's energy is diverse (providing relative stability) - but environmental arbitrage is bullshit.
