Wall Street Journal: Unexpectedly. the Economy Is Grinding to a Halt
Best economy in history, Jack! My word as a Biden. Also I was appointed to Annapolis but blew it off because I was a Big Football Hero but Annapolis already had Roger Staubach as a quarterback so I went to the University of Delaware and rode the bench, Jack!
David Strom is one of those lucky people who has a subscription to the WSJ, so I'll quote his quote.
So income and disposable income actually fell. Got it. An important measure of regional economic health fell:
The economy is slowing, real income is declining, and inflation is still well above the Fed's target of 2%. The U.S. economy continues to lose momentum. Growth hasn't yet slowed to the point that it would be a concern to policymakers, but it might soon if current trends continue. Investors' attention on Friday was initially focused on the personal-consumption expenditures price index, part of a package of data released by the Commerce Department. That makes sense since it is the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation and will help them decide whether or not to cut rates before November's U.S. presidential election. But accompanying data on underlying economic activity turned out to be more significant. The PCE price index rose 2.7% from a year earlier in April, in line with economists' expectations and unchanged from the prior month. The core PCE price index that strips out food and energy, which the Fed favors, was up 2.8%, a tad more than expected. More noteworthy were the figures for personal income and consumption. Incomes rose 0.3% from the preceding month, in line with expectations and down from 0.5% growth in March. Personal spending rose just 0.2%, below expectations and slowing from 0.7% in March. In real, inflation-adjusted terms consumption and disposable incomes both fell 0.1%.
Also on Friday, the Chicago Business Barometer, also known as the Chicago purchasing managers index and a gauge of economic activity in the region, fell to 35.4 in May from 37.9 in April. The importance of regional PMIs shouldn't be exaggerated, but this one seemed more noteworthy than most. It was at its lowest since May 2020, during the lockdown period of the pandemic, according to FactSet. All those readings came on the heels of a downward revision in first-quarter gross domestic product growth on Thursday, to an annualized 1.3% from an earlier estimate of 1.6%. It was mainly driven by a declining estimate of consumption, again suggesting a flagging consumer. In a note, economists at Capital Economics said they are now expecting growth of just 1.2% in the second quarter, down from an estimate of 2.7% a couple of weeks ago.
I know all of you know this, but in case you don't: One of the Fed's biggest tools for influencing the economy is raising or lowering interest rates. When the economy is slow or tipping into a recession, they lower interest rates. This allows the big banks to borrow money at low rates, which they then lend to companies at low rates. The net effect is to magic more dollars into the economy. This is inflationary, of course, but they think that goosing the economy with more dollars is better than a deep recession. When there is too much inflation -- too many of these magicked-into-existence dollars floating around -- they raise interest rates. So the big banks borrow less money and have less money to lend out. The money supply drops, which will, over time, reduce inflation, because inflation is caused by a surplus of dollars which cheapens the value of each dollar. The Fed is currently keeping interest rates at an elevated level to try to sop up some of the excess dollars that have caused 20% inflation over the past three years. So what does the Fed do when economic activity is grinding to a painful halt? They usually reduce interest rates. But they can't reduce interest rates, because inflation is already very high. Biden should be proud. 1970's style stagflation -- which is inflation plus low growth -- is back, baby!

----------------------------
The problem is that inflation is already extremely high (especially if you measure it using the same metrics used in the 1970s). More money in an economy isn't immediately bad if the money is producing real goods and services. But any money created by lowering interest rates will keep zombie companies afloat or simply go into stock bubbles like Nvidia. None of it will make things easier for a normal person on an hourly wage or salaried income. This means these people would be even more [rightfully[ pissed off about the wonders of Biden's economy.

Only because they're faking it.
The addition - in current, nominal dollar terms - to GDP does not exceed the deficit. All of it is fake. Every last penny of it. *All* of the on-paper economic growth was put on the Federal credit card. Absent deficit spending - which is also the driver of inflation, as it must be because whether you borrow it or just print it, you're counterfeiting your own currency - we are in a recession.
Which means that in practical terms, we are in a recession.

It was interesting. Was I convinced? No. But some of its critiques of the evolutionary scientists’ theories made good points. I have long been skeptical of some evolutionary theories, particularly when it comes to the end of the dinosaurs.
I personally think the meteor theory is highly questionable if not outright bullshit invented for dramatic impact.
The movie makes some fairly convincing points that the dinosaur bones aren’t nearly as old as commonly accepted (they found collagen and other soft tissues in dino bones), and that the meteor impact makes no sense.
Worth a watch.

I don't get people with perfectly good municipal water systems buying bottled water, though.

The Fed can't fix this. It can defend the Dollar by continuing to raise interest rates, but it cannot fix the problem. The Fed doesn't actually set interest rates - it tries to, and it has more than nominal influence, but it can't *compel* the market to follow its guidance. If the Fed were to set the rates to zero tomorrow, Treasuries - and everything indexed to them - would *not* follow along. The only way to do that would be to directly monetize the debt, which would cascade out into the market because everything is priced in Treasuries and immediately lose control of inflation. The Dollar would die.
The Fed can help mediate by using its influence and control mechanisms to make money *more* expensive and thus punish the government for overspending, but it cannot solve the problem.

"Grocery prices skyrocketed during the pandemic, and in many cases, they've kept going up, even though the pandemic is over," Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said at a Wednesday Senate hearing.
Shoppers may be infuriated to find certain grocery products, such as a pound of chicken breasts or a loaf of bread, go up from one week to the next, Warren said.
"Grocery prices are up because of good old-fashioned corporate price gouging," Warren said. "And they can gouge consumers on prices because there's only a small number of companies controlling every level of the food chain."

Well just force them to produce at a loss ... and don't call that Fascism!

Right now pricing ANYTHING as a capital asset is a risk because government actions are like a whale thrashing its tail in a bathtub.
I would recommend 3rd World coping mechanisms which is to make one's wealth extremely portable and under one's control. Plus investing in human software by upgrading one's individual knowledge with usable universally marketable skills. People will get sick, they will need plumbing and electricians, they will need carpenters, etc.

HP-35 came out when I was a college freshman. $795. Professors laughed at the kids in class with one. However, they were finishing their tests in 20 minutes, versus the hour that those of us with slide rules took. The next year, the HP-45 came out, and the -35 dropped to $395. Professors started buying them, and using them. Tests went to 60 minutes if you had a calculator, and you could get about 1/3 done with a sliderule. TI brought out the SR-50 at $225. I scrimped and saved to buy one to avoid flunking out.

Traditional Marxism relies on capitalism collapse and a revolution creating a bottom up society. These killer clowns have adopted Gramsci's heresy in that they believe they can seize power via a coup (2020) and then impose their revolution from the high ramparts of society's institutions.
Essentially they invert the struggling masses into the pampered elites leading the charge. It will fail but not without creating a lot of misery.

Central and northern Texans face Tuesday's most serious threat of severe weather. In the wake of morning storms, additional storms are likely to fire up in the afternoon. Large hail, lightning and wind gusts as strong as 80 mph are the main threats with any storm. A few tornadoes may also occur, according to the National Weather Service.
Sweltering heat will accompany the storms across portions of Texas - part of a sprawling heat wave that has been baking the South in recent days.
A less serious risk of severe storms stretches across swaths of the Southern Plains and a small portion of the Southeast, including most of Texas and parts of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and western New Mexico, according to the Storm Prediction Center.

I have not been impressed with Trump's legal team as a whole. The DOJ and its clownish minions are worse.
@mrp, I don't think that Trump's lawyers realize that they are in a political fight. Trump needs someone like Clarence Darrow that can expand the legal fight into the media space and speak when he cannot. What Trump has are lawyers afraid of pissing of the judge when the judge is already bound and determined to sent Trump to prison.
If George Zimmerman had that kind of legal representation, he would have went to prison.

Got three of them in the office and in the shop itself.
Came in this morning to two more of the little rodent bastards, this time alive, and trapped in the trash can next to my desk. Tossed 'em 15 ft or so over the dividing wall into the next complex.

To some extent, yes. But competent lawyering even in kangaroo courts does help set up appeals. See my comment above about the expert they inexplicably didn't put on.

According to Barnes (an optimist), if they push too hard emergency appeals to higher courts (up to SCOTUS) are accelerated. So Barnes thinks they will be somewhat constrained.
There doesn't appear to be any evidence the other side feels any constraint whatsoever but Trump's lawyers *might* do the right thing.

If you knew a little about legal education and legal history, you might think differently. There have been show trials throughout American history such as the Peter Zenger case, the Scottsboro Boys case, and so on. When the task is a legal one and all of the assembled are competent lawyers, then a low key lawyer within the local system can achieve wonders with a jury. This was no such situation.
When it is a political task--you need junkyard dog lawyers that make it clear in a shit storm that everyone gets the face in it. Bragg, Merchan, etc. Essentially the Tactics of Mistake as enunciated by Gordon Dickson in a book of the same name. Political trials are war by other means and you need a Patton rather than a faceless general.

George Zimmerman was far closer to the legal expectation of being judged by a "jury of his peers" in Florida than Donald Trump was in the heart of Manhattan. The best his team could possibly do was hope for hung jury and Merchan's jury prejudicial jury instructions put paid to that. Didn't Clarence Darrow lose his case?

My PT guy said it's function is the same as when you use your fingers to tickle or lightly scratch around a wound, which everyone has done. It excites the nerve endings where you're tickling, in order to distract the brain from the pain of the nearby wound. So it works, but that's all it really does. A distraction, not a healing effect.

Actually, Merchan limited the scope of the former FEC Commissioner Bradley Smith but could not exclude him totally. Defense could have called him. There is also Allan Weisselberg, the Trump CFO, that could have been called by the defense.
There are ways that a crafty lawyer can weave by questions into forbidden territory and the judge creates a Streisand effect when the judge in name only inevitably rises to the bait.
Essentially, the Trump legal team was laying grounds for an appeal rather than confronting injustice up front which is a much more trying to avoid mistakes strategy than challenging the injustice up front and rubbing the jury's face in the pile of shit case concocted by Bragg and Co.

The economic system of fascism is much closer to what we have today than socialism. It's about maintaining the distinction between private and public spheres while the public and the private spheres work together.
It's like saying, "Fascists hated Jews, so that's the only thing that defines them."
Also, socialist nations tend to keep tight control of their borders.

This is the kind of second guessing that the peanut gallery always engages in from the sidelines. And if his trial team had instead been laser-focused on appellate issues, they'd be faulted for not focusing on trying to win at trial by being too distracted by appellate issues that may or may not fly after a trial loss. Planning to win on appeal is not a great strategy in the average criminal case, in general, and the faith people seem to have in appellate courts is questionable at best given how determined half the country is to cook Trump's goose by any means.

It is well known by litigators that, if you are trying the case to win on appeal, you will lose the case.
Trial judges don't give two shits about appeal-- and will tell you as much at trial.
And appellate judges are all former trial judges ... who don't really have time for a loser that lost at trial cause they were too focused on appeal points.

Over $20 for any good BBQ meal in Houston is approaching. 3 weeks ago I went to a low-overhead BBQ (it's a side business for a meat market) that has great meats. $18.79 for a sliced brisket sandwich, side of cole slaw, and a fountain drink.

That would indeed be a good strategy, but I'm not seeing how it works. Sentencing is on July 11. Is there any doubt the commie judge is gonna sentence Trump to prison to start immediately?

JJ Sefton had a Motley Fool article yesterday about M2 declining in a manner that previously has always led to a depression and massive unemployment. It also pointed out "this time could be different" because of the rapid covid increase in M2 the previous couple of years. But the Fed did that because velocity declined rapidly, meaning money changed hands many fewer times (people stayed home), which has now reversed, and so .... it's hard to figure.

She preferred the Top Value stamps, the yellow ones. Though when I was about ten, she took me to the S & H redemption center and I got my first real watch, a small gold-tone Timex.
No idea what happened to the stamps. You were supposed to paste 'em in a book, and I know she did when I was small. Maybe she'd redeemed them all years before.

I was in the ER in Miami overnight once with eardrum damage after a scuba dive. It was all douchebags injured in bar and club fights. Lotsa drugs and booze involved. In a few instances, the paras brought in the combatants because they were all badly hurt, and they were STILL fighting with each other.

Are they rated 5-Stars compared with other local hotels, or compared with 5-Star Hotels in the civilized world? A key question, LenNeal.

As a side note regarding beer...
Back in the late 60s - early 70s, Angola had an currency that was so fucked up that foreign embassy workers were paid in beer. It was the only way to keep them on-staff.

After my dentist pestered me enough I bought one.
Then next apt she asked me how many usages I get out of it before needing to refill. I told her about 3.
Her response? You are supposed to fill it twice per usage.
What is it with dentists always wanting you to do whatever they'd demanded you do for longer then you want to?

The sale was mandated by Congress in the budget bill, but it's not clear how it got there. There was a GAO report that said the existence of the northeast gasoline reserve was wasteful, but sometimes these things are just "Brer Rabbit" theater to give a rationale for what they already wanted to do anyway.
That said, I'm generally in favor of the government selling assets rather than borrowing money. They should start with the trillion-dollar student loan portfolio.

then it was "you gotta floss after each meal it is the only way to avoid cavities"
Then I swear when I did that I got told to floss more often.
At some point I figured it was like masks or losing 10lbs, if you fail to do it and you have problems then it is clearly your fault and if you do it and you have problems anyways, then you did it wrong and it is not the fault of the medical establishment that is giving you impossible tasks like some evil magician in a fairy tale.

The decision by Merchan will be political and he will probably coordinate the sentencing with Fedgov using the Secret Service notification as an excuse.
