A Heads Up For People Who Like Laurence O'Donnell

His contract with MSNBC is expiring shortly. I hear there are some obstacles in his contract negotiations.

I Don't Believe The Costs Of The Tariffs Are Accurate.

I believe the cost will be much higher than 2 thousand some odd dollars.

I was just reading an article about how car prices will rise, so that means car insurance prices will rise as well.

There are going to be a lot of trickle down costs that aren't being calculated in.

The more expensive items one buys, the more the tariffs will cost.

I guess if a family lives on Raman noodles and bicycles around town they may only pay 2k more?

2 thousand dollars doesn't last very long today. I just spent $1.865.00 in 2 hours and 15 minutes. A periodontist cut out 2 roots from a tooth than another dentist left in my mouth 25 years ago. I was lucky, I am friends with the periodontist, he cut me a break on the price because I don't have dental insurance.

Krasnov Is Getting Ready To Sell Public Lands

He says to be used to build housing. He says the profits to be used to pay down the debt.

Translation: Krasnov wants to sell public lands to his real estate pals, to his fossil fuel industry pals and I fucking guarantee that money will go into his sovereign wealth fund.

Michael Cohen said why Krasnov wants to be president; to become the richest person in the world.

Are we great yet?

White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, Urges Wall Street To Trust Trump's Economic Formula

Sorry, I have nothing to add to my headline, nothing that would be respectable.

I Have Some Questions About The Economy

The jobs report that just came out from the labor Department. Question: are the people in the labor Department now Trump people?

Last week here in central Pa. gasoline was $2.99 / gal. Crude oil has dropped today to $61/ barrel. Gas just went up 70 cents/ gal. to $3.69, Why?

What will Jerome say today? Will he fluff Krasnov and give him his rate cuts? Jerome is boxed in, he is trying to keep inflation down and employment up. Does it matter at this stage what Jerome does?

Wow DOW is Down 4% Futures Down 2.38%

Jerome Powell will speak today, maybe try to calm things down? Maybe give Krasnov his rate cuts but I doubt it. Jerome is pretty much boxed in re: inflation and unemployment. I think he doesn't have any magic bullets for this shit storm.

Krasnov Put Jerome Powell In A No Win Situation

The Fed wants to keep employment high and inflation low.

With Krasnov's tariffs, economists are predicting big time unemployment, near zero GDP, a recession.

With Krasnov's tariffs economists are predicting inflation somewhere between 3 - 5 percent, its goal to lower interest rates is 2%.

If Jerome raises interest rates he may help cause a recession. If he lowers interest rates he may cause inflation to rise to 5% which may help cause a recession.

Jerome has a 3rd choice, do nothing and ride this out.

We all know that Krasnov wants lower interest rates so I am guessing that's what Jerome will do.

I saw this bumper sticker today - ARE WE GREAT YET?

I Made It Through My Dental Surgery

A young dentist pulled my molar 25 years ago and left 2 roots. They finally got infected. I now go to a great periodontist. He took out the 2 roots, rebuilt my bone and tissue. I have upper dentures, just got them, they weren't made right, he realigned them.

The part I hated was all of the fishing line stitches. It took him 2 hours and 15 minutes.

I am friends with the surgeon and he knows I don't have insurance so he cut me a break, $1,865.00

Wonder what it costs with insurance?

The worst part was having to listen to country and western music on the radio.
