  1. PCE & Core PCE as expected. Personal Spending up a little.
  2. Nothing to do with vetting. Corporate layers means slow decisions The same exact scenario happened to a referral of mine. He kept texting me asking why it was taking so long. I worked at the company so I would go talk to the team, the manager, etc and everyone kept saying oh yeah, they’re getting hired, it’s been sent to XYZ for approval. It took 4 months from interview to hire letter IIRC
  3. I watch a lot of dateline, and one episode the state police got a cell data dump of all activity within certain location and time frame. They investigated a few of the irregular cell numbers or activity for that area and found the killers. They should do that here.
  4. Because I can’t kill 100 people in 2 minutes with a spoon
  5. He’s not going to direct his followers to attack the capital or kill anyone. He’s just kidding, jeez you dummies.
  6. The insurance quotes in Florida are…high In fact, I have a couple under contract now in NC that cited it as reason to bail (and the heat)
  7. They’re coming after people that do magic?
  8. I wonder if the board will grant a waiver for Trump to sell shares
  9. Edinburgh I drove over the middle one last year
  10. People can be exhausting. It’s one thing to offer your help and support, it’s another thing to try and be a substitute for counseling, therapy, or psychiatry. It’s good to be there for others, but you have to allow the experts to help as well. Knowing where that line is important, and it’s healthy to have boundaries so people don’t abuse your good will.
  11. I appreciate the substantive response with links and information. It's much better than the original source material from cuckoo town. To you point, there is legitimate concern about the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 that amended the Bankruptcy laws to exempt derivatives. The reason it was enacted was there were legitimate concerns that by not allowing derivatives to close out contracts, systemically important financial institutions could not cover their positions, creating a daisy chain of collateral calls, leading to the house of cards coming down. Of course on the other side of the argument, people argue the same exact safe harbors will cause systemic risk and the house of cards coming down. (I'm not going to lie, reading about how the industry lobbied for this for a long time doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies) These are fun reads. https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/10985175/AdamsSafe Harbors.pdf?sequence=3&isAllowed=y https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2419460 https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2351025 It appears Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act (Orderly Liquidation Authority) was created to address the Lehman Brothers situation so that mess never happens again. Covered Broker-Dealer Provisions under Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act I haven't had time to dig into the entitlement holder thing.
  12. Snake Diggity was not referring to the CNBC post. Hence the confusion
