As one can imagine costs have increased with the rise in fuel and impact of the politics in general. This president does not give a degree of confidence in his actions. So, business and the economy adjust accordantly. More to come as I deep dive this. The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) […]

Another presidential comment having no foundation and making little or no sense . . . I suspect the world is laughing at us due to Tr__p’s ignorance as our president. Or maybe? It is our ignorance for electing him to the presidency or not voting at all? Bombardier Already Manufactures in the United States Donald […]

 – by New Deal democrat With other news (finally!) out today, let’s take at least a brief look at jobless claims. Initial claims declined -1,000 to 206,000, while the four week moving average declined -1,500 to 205,000. With the typical one week delay, continuing claims declined -1,000 as well to 1.774 million. These all continue to […]

I entered the world of computerized master planning, component, and scheduling decades ago. You could do things via computer. But you still had to engage with the actual numbers and lead times. There was no such thing as non-human intervention. Humans still have the ability to think outside of the box or computer and do […]

Something of interest. I had joined my friend Dan Crawford years ago. I was in Boston one time and we met for a beer at one of his places to drink one. I do miss him as we would exchange remarks and thoughts. Joel has kind of filled that void for me. You can not […]

The point of terrorism isn’t military victory or conquest. It’s fear. And bin Laden certainly achieved his goal on 9/11. The US invasion and military occupation of Iraq and the current US war against Iran are the direct consequences of 9/11, as are DHS, ICE and the mass deportations. Indeed, the Trump GOP has embraced […]

I asked a question about whether the cuts apply to Traditional Medicare also. Merrill’s commentary is not that clear as to whether this is solely to Medicare Advantage. In which case, if is to all of Medicare, why give recipients an increase next year? As you are reading, you will find Medicare Advantage is more […]

– by New Deal democrat When the Iran war started this past March, I wrote about the potential for an oil shock and a resulting recession. While it briefly looked like that could happen, Wall Street’s rose colored glasses approach to oil futures together with the gradual draining of the strategic oil reserve prevented that from […]

I kind of wonder why Pres. Tr__p gets away with what he does and says. What does he have on others? If other presidents had done what he hase done with his money-making schemes, much would have been said. “President Trump has made more money while in office than most of us can even conceive […]

Steve Roth – Wealth Economics: “Who Gets the Unearned Income?” Who are the “takers”? The answer may (not) surprise you. People discussing wealth, income, and inequality over recent decades often frame the discussion as a “Makers vs Takers” thing. Implicitly or explicitly, it’s about who deserves what. It started with the right. (Think: “welfare queens” vs noble, […]

So the choice we face in the next generation is not capitalism versus communism, or the end of history versus the return of history, but the politics of social cohesion based around collective purposes versus the erosion of society by the politics of fear. ~Tony Judt

THIS LATEST SCOTUS ACTIVITY ON THE MAIL-IN BALLOT CASE IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT. IT WILL BE THE ULTIMATE TEST OF HOW CORRUPT OUR SUPREME COURT IS.

I did not vote for Tr__p. I do not like Tr__p. He is an enriched person who has suffered the results of becoming rich through an inheritance and building from such.
