I know this might get me in trouble...
You have to watch the Trump PSA from South Park!!!
*it's about halfway in, but you need the buildup for context.
There's also a distortion in retired population with income derived from RMDs.
The spending that has been keeping the economy afloat is retirement savings being spent down to meet Government requirements.
Draw down 401k, place unspent in CDs... repeat next year.
Say it with me... 401K and change in dividends.
Add change in makeup of "young" family, more headed by single women. Couples w/o kids, more dual income households.
Increase in HS dropouts.
Shift in tech?
Reagan/Congress did some shortsighted things, but there are dozens of structural reasons.
John Henry
Tom Werner
LeBron James
Amongst others own the Red Sox...
Epstein lunchtime thought-
Your 16-yr old daughter disappears for days at a time, and you don't ask many questions?
"How'd you get money/clothes/whatever?"
Feels like a question I'd be asking the victim's parents...
Lumber as of 9 a.m. EDT.
Add in 9% passthrough due to Tariffs on Canadian products.
25% on the stuff coming from Baltic region.
Mills in Pacific NW are running at reduced capacity for maintenance.

The messaging creep on the Epstein files is getting worrisome.
Hearing Neera Tanden throwing Merrick Garland under the bus is deeply concerning. Blaming pendulum swing policies between Trump 45 and Biden as a culprit?
Now we wait and wonder who has something additional to spew?
Pop Culture to a hit this week...
Ozzy
Malcolm
Now Hulk
Growing up in the 70's-80's, these guys were everywhere.
Stock Grants account for a large portion of that disparity, 75% of total compensation. But that model is shifting to options based pay with targets.
1000% growth in Stock Market.
Unions should have been negotiating for equity.
*This study only looked at the higher band, so it's inflated.
1979 to 2022, annual earnings for the bottom 90% rose by 32.9%, while the average growth across all earners was 54.3%
*Horizontal or Vertical Monopolies? Product dependent you get higher costs.
Today's hero...
She knew exactly how to reach his weakness by showing her strengths.
Who do you think Bibi is?
Hamas is a political group, some of whom use violence to meet an objective.
Palestine is a country that deserves to exist.
Not all Palestinians are Hamas.
It's not rocket science.
It's been through the courts, basis for Citizen's United decision... How you spend money is a form of free speech, protected from interference.
Media already creates a narrative based on editorial choices. It's the duty of citizens to parse the truth.
I said a band should play both countries...
Apparently you can't tell the difference between a person and a location?
Specifically said I wouldn't play for Netanyahu etc.
Critical thinking not in your skill set?
Money is Free Speech... basic 1st Amendment stuff. Spend your money supporting media you want.
Meet the Press licks the feet of certain elected officials in the same way FoxNews does.
You don't seem to understand you have a choice. Go find a blog/podcast/YouTube channel for better reporting?
Your conflating Free Press and Ownership of a paper.
Opting to consume media that aligns with your belief system is just a form of bias. Being exposed to multiple, sometimes opposing views is how knowledge gets expanded.
Look for better sources rather than complain about your choices.
I should add that after reading how the Japanese Banks are the underwriters of US Domestic construction, it's a creative solution. Infrastructure w/o Federal Money.
Opening markets to US products is good.
There are plenty of ?s about terms, sustainability or if they get a new PM tomorrow!
I'm not sure who is owes an answer to. He vastly overpaid thinking he could White Knight himself into fixing a failing company. If he wants both sides promoted within the editorial pages, his toy, his choice.
If people don't like the product, they shouldn't consume it.
Boeing and other defense related spending.
Most of it is tech infrastructure or manufacturing boosts. Not much Trump can do other than direct it to specific States. (Southern US could use this type of investment and raise their standard of living/healthcare.)
Book access has been restricted by libraries, school boards, etc for decades. They hide behind "age-inappropriate" or some other nonsense.
Books shown in card catalog but never in the stacks? Sound familiar.
Hasn't stopped them from being elsewhere.
That's what I enjoy most about all art, the individual's interpretation of what they see/hear/feel.
We could both experience the same thing and take away very different things.
Even if it isn't what the artist was conveying.
Art should be open to all...
You did what I'm advocating, looked deeper into the topic. In this specific instance that knowledge is better than rehashing Times drama.
Maybe that was Stewart's intent? How do we define people. Soon-Shiong has contributed positively to medicine and made a mess of a newspaper.
Toyota builds RAV4 in Kentucky & Ontario for US... they'll smooth the rates across the product line.
*You're ignoring consumer electronics as the driving force for 15% tariffs. South Korea should see same in the end.
Trump overplayed his hand, 10% unilateral and no one would have blinked.
That's on the viewer... if they chose to not exercise intellectual curiosity or not.
Which conversation has more value? The one discussing cancer or the 100th that day about the editorial choices of the LA Times.
John Oliver's show is edutainment and he's very good at it. I'm glad you enjoy it.
Media is reaching a point where angry is the selling point, and one that is becoming unhealthy.
I see the value in the cancer discussion. It can't be 22 minutes every night of anger. It takes a toll on everyone.
There are enough Confirmation Bias shows available from either perspective. Ever consider the number of people who informed themselves afterwards about the LA Times editorial shift?
People should be challenged by "Why?" and not constantly needing to be told.
