    Well ... if you don't get some sheets from BB&B on clearance, one might stay woke. They won't fall asleep, anyway.

    The guy who works for the central bank that has completely fucked its people by blowing its money supply out of the water to recklessly spur a debt binge that has now led to runaway consumer price inflation that is crippling the country. ... not only doesn't take responsibility. ... he tells people who want to earn more to offset the higher prices he's caused, that they need to bend over and make it easier for him to penetrate them. Holy moly.

    One thing I was wondering. ... if this is a war between capital and labor (due to the inflation he exists to create), why does that war have to be automatically won by capital, the way he is implicitly suggesting?

    In any case, I just randomly saw this, so I'll save you one of my posts. He does it better than I would have anyhow.

    My dad told me in the 1970s not to go into journalism if I wanted to make any money.

    He retired from journalism in November 2000.

    I started at about $10/week, but my single paper route grew into a three-rout empire

    The first-quarter economic numbers should be Goldilocks. The economy grew (at a slower rate) and didn't go negative, and that should ease inflationary pressures — and in turn ease pressure on the Fed to bump interest rates.

    Macroeconomics would have taught us that. ... prior to the stagflation of the 1970s, at least, when they realized that the Phillips Curve is not inviolate due to the era of runaway fiat money that was ushered in.

    Putting aside how inexact their measurement of the economy is (and the GDP number will get revised several times, likely downward to show that the economy has been contracting). ... the report showed that the PCE price index (the Fed's preferred "inflation" measure) INCREASED i.e. we are now seeing slow growth AND high inflation. ... or stagflation.

    The ladyfriend stockpiled BBB coupons. Apparently they never expired, despite the printed expiration date. (No wonder why they’re shutting down.) She took a wad of them to BBB the other day and says some no-longer-gives-a-shit employee kept compounding coupon on coupon on coupon. She was proud of herself.

    A story expounding a bit on what I was talking about.

    The latest GDP numbers have economists fearing more than just a recession: ‘The U.S. might well be facing stagflation’
