That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
They finally got their hurricane, let the Doom! commence,
You know they are all praying it causes damage and death cause they being caring progs have hearts filled with hatred for anything but their own clan.
Exactly
“FBI whistleblower: Counterterrorism cases against alleged right-wing extremists mostly ‘entrapment’”
Just like J6, a Fed op that succeeded in convincing some dunces to create a spectacle that allowed the mandarinate to claim some insurrection activity that was not there happened, was another entrapment thing. The proof this thing was done by the Fed is in how the DC bomber managed to get away, despite doing his work in a city where the surveillance matches the CCP standard, and the one guy they have on video inciting violent behavior was not only not charged with anything, but squirreled away so nobody could investigate Epps’ role and allegiance.
We’re gonna need a bigger printing press.
“Conservative populist Giorgia Meloni set to be Italy’s first female PM”
A lot of EU marxists have been whining about this and accusing Italians of going fascists because they voted to stop the EU elites’ plan to replace them with new voters that have a higher dependency on Brussel’s largesse while destroying their economic future and lives.
Sweden and Italy – the beginning of a backlash in Western Europe by the native population against the leaders who hate them.
It should also be noted that Meloni is the only major party leader to not have joined the national unity government formed to deal with COVID. Her meteoric rise may in large part be attributable to a backlash to Italy’s COVID policies.

“Mortgage Rates Jump to 14-Year High as Fed Delivers Jumbo Rate Hike”
I predict the response from the people that want government to pick winners & losers will be to do even more stupid shit – shit like the stuff Barney Frank and Chris Dodd did in the years before we had our first housing market collapse due to criminal government regulation – and then blame the people that kept pointing out this was a disaster of their own making for it when it collapses the economy yet again.
We can whip inflation now with price controls.
These people refuse to believe all historical data that their ideas are not just toxic but will never work as they keep doubling down on them and demanding they work this time. It’s that or they know damned well they are going to do more damage and are gleefully going ahead doing it again and again and again…
Not even vaguely brought up in that article are the why’s of the massive industry consolidations. Couldn’t have anything to do with the ever increasing regulatory burden, the effective war against small business of the pandemic lockdowns, etc… oh, no…. all those greedy businesses! Let’s add more government hoops — that will make it all better!

the media approved term is post-fascist.
Also one would think we would celebrate the first woman to potentially lead Italy…
not a real woman
Worse. She isn’t a giant fucking Brussels marxist..
Wasn’t there some Medici broad who gets that honor?
Italy was not a thing back then
Just like Maggie was back in her day.
No person is more hated by a cult than the heretic. And believe me, a woman that’s not part of the marxist big government daddy cult, is considered a heretic by the cult.
She’s the makeup face of white supremacy.
The federal deficit is now out of control – it is just a meaningless number why obsess over it?

Just a coincidence
The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a major U.S. green group that has influenced Biden administration policymaking, has deep ties to the Chinese government.
The NRDC, a non-profit organization based in New York City with total assets exceeding $450 million, has worked on climate issues extensively in China since the mid-1990s and several of its top officials have worked for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) or government-sponsored institutions.
The NRDC also maintains a close working relationship with President Biden’s administration. The NRDC’s former president, Gina McCarthy, served as Biden’s climate czar up from January 2021 until earlier this month. Current president, Manish Bapna, has attended at least two White House meetings, visitor logs reviewed by Fox News Digital show.
The NRDC regularly communicates with Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry’s office on policy issues, according to internal State Department emails obtained by the watchdog group Protect the Public’s Trust and shared with Fox News Digital.
On its website, the NRDC highlights its collaboration with a “wide range of Chinese and international partners” to boost green policies and “fortify” environmental regulations in the country.
They want to destroy everybody’s economies, not just ours.
LOL how many new coal plants go online in an average month in China?
Act like a cunte and cut the line, then throw a tantrum and accuse the guy that called you out of being pat of the patriarchy cause you were raped.
My bet is this woman is a lying bitch. I wouldn’t be surprised that if you went looking for details, you would find out that she was not raped at all, as she claims for her excuse of throwing a tantrum. Rape victims would not act like this and when called out try desperately to play the victim.
Believe HER!
And have drugs fall out or your ass.
Go easy on him. He was raped when the drugs were inserted there in the first place.
I wonder how many times I’ve heard “We are 100% jabbed!” from one outfit or another over the last couple years.
‘orning ‘ordles — continuing to squeak by in the warmup round.. but that’s kind of what it is there for. Main event was… odd. Afterwards, I could see where a different seed word I sometimes used would have been stellar (and I expect some 2’s are headed our way today!), but other than having to wrack my brain a bit given what I did have to work with, I’m pretty satisfied with the results. Beats chumping.

Portrait of a domestic terrorist
Long before he assembled one of the largest far-right anti-government militia groups in U.S. history, before his Oath Keepers stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Stewart Rhodes was a promising Yale Law School graduate.
He secured a clerkship on the Arizona Supreme Court, in part thanks to his unusual life story: a stint as an Army paratrooper cut short by a training accident, followed by marriage, college and an Ivy League law degree.
The clerkship was one more rung up from a hardscrabble beginning. But rather than fitting in, Rhodes came across as angry and aggrieved.
He railed to colleagues about how the Patriot Act, which gave the government greater surveillance powers after the Sept. 11 attacks, would erase civil liberties. He referred to Vice President Dick Cheney as a fascist for supporting the Bush administration’s use of “enemy combatant” status to indefinitely detain prisoners.
“He saw this titanic struggle between people like him who wanted individual liberty and the government that would try to take away that liberty,” said Matt Parry, who worked with Rhodes as a clerk for Arizona Supreme Court Justice Mike Ryan.
Rhodes alienated his moderate Republican boss and eventually left the steppingstone job. Since then he has ordered his life around a thirst for greatness and deep distrust of government.
I haven’t gotten to the part where they prove him completely wrong about the Patriot Act. It must be in there somewhere.
Now we don’t have to send people to Gitmo for indefinite detention. Progress!
Before Obama and Biden were elected President, it was the left claiming the Patriot Act would destroy civil liberties.
How quickly that’s been memory-holed.
It is like how the ACLU defended free speech when they were worried their speech was in danger. Now they can be more selective in which speech they defend because the man approves of their speech.
👆👆👆
Roger Nash Baldwin (co-founder of the ACLU) had this to say in 1934 –
https://www2.law.ucla.edu/volokh/blog/baldwin.pdf
CWAA
Well, on paper that was true.
Too bad the paper was worthless.
In the Soviet Union we have freedom of speech. In America you have freedom after speech.
Not so sure about that anymore.
This is why the Oath Keepers were darlings of the commie left during Gulf War II.
Just like Cindy Sheehan was.
Were they? I don’t remember that.
Amy Goodman had them on Democracy Now! on the reg. Actually, that was before GWII, sine I stopped listening to that show on September 12 2001. So they would have been on during the “NATO bombs!” era.
Ah, that would explain why I don’t remember it. Amy Goodman is an immediate channel change for me.
The clerkship was one more rung up from a hardscrabble beginning.
There is the problem. He didn’t come from the right kind of family. If he had, he would have had lots of relatives who had also gone to the Ivy League and ended up in one govt agency or another. Then he would have realized that The State is wonderful and never does anything bad.
Sure a few hardscrabble families might get chewed up in The War On Drugs, or something similar, but omelets need to be made!
Nope, he came from some crazy family that didn’t educate him well enough and he didn’t love Big Gov properly.
Give the nice lady her landslide already, New York.
Does she know she’s Governor of a whole state?
She will be if she can drive out all the not-New Yorkers living there. Well, the illegal aliens can stay.
Behold the one-Party state in action.
California says Hold My Beer.
She’s not debating the sacrificial Republican candidate. Instead of just saying “FYTW,” her campaign decided to rub it in by saying she has already engaged in multiple debates… during the D primaries.
The R’s should run a black woman in each of these no-contest elections.
Make the Donks show how racist they are at every opportunity.
I can’t help but notice the state she governs is depopulating.
“Over 40% of all debt accrued since US founding done under Nancy Pelosi”
Well, she’s been in office since the Civil War.

She is anti marxist and against the globalist elite movement. What’s there not to love?
That was hot.
Damn. Mic drop with a Chesterton quote is pretty cool!
Yeah, that made me a little tight in the pants.
Whew, she’s gonna be a lot of fun the next few years. I hope she inspires more people like her. I’d move to Italy just to vote for her.
I think we’re also going to see something similar from Africa and Asia. They’re paying a hefty price for the luxury of first world environmentalism. I heard Bjorn Lomborg say something recently, to the effect of, “We’re telling these countries that we got rich off fossil fuels, and you won’t.”

In local energy news my mom got an offer for 4 lei per kw for electricity compared to the previous .34 and that is fucking mindblowing.
The government introduced a compensation scheme but it is caped for a certain consumption level. the cap is based on average consumption for last year not on future consumption, so you do not even have the option ok I will save power in the future, because it depends on the past year.
Just hope that AGW yields you people in Europe a warm winter. Cause if it is cold, you are gonna be in serious trouble. Wait until they start shutting down all sorts of industries to conserve energy and your most basic needs can only be filled by you killing and eating your neighbor…
we had 3 mild winters in a row somehow this one feels like a bastard… also if you look at similar patterns in the past it may be a very cold winter in Europe.
Kidnap some people and chain them up in your basement just in case, Pie… You can then have entertainment and extra food supplies if shit goes bad…
Effective rate with taxes and fees was $0.15 last month.
that is basically what the government capped rate is around here…
I’m not even sure Winston’s mom could afford 4 lei per kw.

“It is largely caused by overly generous entitlements and a shrinking working population to pay for benefits for an increasing number of elderly citizens”
Now hold on there, young feller.
Even FDR knew that SS was unsustainable but he also knew how to get re-elected. SS has been a political toy for nearly 100 years, add on all the other Great Society benefits and we are there. The path forward is more than austerity, more like subsistence poverty. Anyone believing it’s just a matter of getting the right people elected are going to be in for a surprise. The boat is leaking…
What pisses me off the most about SS and Medicaid is that my part of GenX never expected it to still be around in its current form — certainly didn’t expect it to be there for us. Which to me says it was the perfect time around the Tea Party Movement or during the GWB years to say “Look, everyone over 50 — no change. Absolutely no change. Anyone under? Start making other plans if you haven’t already because we’re winding it down… nothing else will prevent it bankrupting this country.”
But look at some of the morons (or government/GOPe plants given what we’ve seen over the last decade) at the Tea Party rallies… “Government hands off my Medicaid!” :eyeroll: So I’m sure the politicians (much like PPP and the non-existent GOP plans for SS now) would scaremonger it into “They’re cutting existing retiree benefits!” So stupid. So ridiculous. Just acknowledge what we all knew growing up in the ’80s and ’90s — there’s no way to pay for it, it will crash the country… so shut it down without breaking troth with those who can’t pivot.
Sigh.
Even today geezers are expecting a 9% raise in benefits in January, COLA. Impossible to shut down for the reasons you stated. Old people vote as a block, for the most part. Nursing home residents votes count the same as yours.
Jeebus. I haven’t gotten a 9% raise since the early stages of my career.

Must be nice to control the printing presses.
Yup. It was the same with defined benefit pension plans in the private sector, largely. Just ignore it completely until it can’t be ignored and fuck the ones who need it most.
Private sector pension plans were saved by President Biden
The Teamster’s Central States Pension Fund has been a clusterfuck for years. The members kept voting against any cuts even though it was clear the money wasn’t there. Instead of going broke and everyone getting nothing, Biden propped them up with Covid money.
But at least the influx of money fixed the core problem?
Every time the Rs tried any reform it was “they want grandma eating Alpo”. Also Gen X is too small. Boomers blocked privatization in the past. They are now handing power to the Millennials who will block it into the future.
Hey this is a fun one to look back on. Cool date too.

I doubt they weren’t in back channel talks the entire time.
Apparently the first time Blinken spoke to Lavrov during this entire fiasco was to negotiate the prisoner swap of the WNBA moron. And Blinken refused to discuss Ukraine during that interaction.
DC shut down all channels to Moscow until now.
Maybe. The US administration wants to look tough by saying they won’t even talk to Putin. Both sides are scumbags and it seems likely they had some communication they aren’t telling us about. At least I hope they aren’t so stupid as to not even talk secretly.
That reads like the US telling Vlad he better just take his lumps while the west continues to bankroll Ukraine.

What Many Progressives Misunderstand About Fighting Climate Change
Wishful thinking hampers the clean-energy revolution.
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/09/capitalism-clean-energy-technology-permitting/671545/
But this may not be enough for some environmentalists. Jamie Henn, an environmental activist and the director of Fossil Free Media, recently told Rolling Stone, “Look, I want to get carbon out of the atmosphere, but this is such an opportunity to remake our society. But if we just perpetuate the same harms in a clean-energy economy, and it’s just a world of Exxons and Elon Musks—oh, man, what a nightmare.” Many progressive commentators similarly believe that countering climate change requires a fundamental reordering of the West’s political and economic systems. “The level of disruption required to keep us at a temperature anywhere below ‘absolutely catastrophic’ is fundamentally, on a deep structural level, incompatible with the status quo,” the writer Phil McDuff has argued. The climate crisis, the Green New Deal advocate Naomi Klein has insisted, “could be the best argument progressives have ever had” to roll back corporate influence, tear up free-trade deals, and reinvest in public services and infrastructure.
ahh it was leftism all all along
Gradually watermelon.
Yes, it was – and completely obviously so.
Said every utopian mass murderer ever…
This is a made up crisis. The earth’s weather system is so complex that we still can’t even predict weather accurately. People that ignore that we are coming out of an ice age, or that the real greenhouse gas is H2O, or that the biggest contributors are the energy from the sun and the heat trapped by our oceans and atmospheres (in H2O), all so they can pretend CO2 and man are at fault, NEVER have engineering solutions. It is ALWAYS marxism and loss of freedom for the serfs.
We (humanity) contribute ~4% of the total CO2 emissions that happen in a year. By the way, the natural variability of emissions is right around 4% as well.
The only way that we’d be cooking the earth via CO2 is through some sort of massively fragile positive feedback loop, the kind of feedback loop that would’ve cooked off all life with each major volcanic eruption.
Look, I want to get carbon out of the atmosphere,
lol. Yeah, it’s not like what plants crave, or anything.
Among all the convoluted #science on this subject, the incredibly obvious is ignored: CO2 and warmth makes the planet MORE habitable, not less. Especially when you’re in an ice age, like we currently are.
Labour conference: Starmer ambition to get off fossil fuels by 2030
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-63023277
But the party believes it can win votes by promoting green energy as a way to generate economic growth, in contrast to Tory tax cuts for the well-off.
Labour says it will work with business to more than quadruple offshore wind power, triple solar, and double onshore wind by the end of this decade, while backing nuclear, hydrogen, and tidal power.
“Our plan for clean power by 2030 will save the British people £93bn off their energy bills and break the UK’s vulnerability to Putin and his cronies,” said Sir Keir.
“It will also support our drive for higher growth and rising living standards.”
Labour says the plan will also “reindustrialise” the UK, by creating more than 200,000 direct jobs and up to 260,000-300,000 indirect jobs.

“The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated the Proud Boys a hate group. They say Proud Boys members have expressed white supremacist and racist rhetoric.”
Well, that settles it.
I was actually stunned that the reporter added the bit about the Proud Boys’ own definition of themselves. I bet that causes some angry letters to the editor.
They never say what it is either. This is the biggest named white nationalist group and I have no idea what they’ve done.
Also can’t help but notice that it’s pretty heavily racially mixed for a white nationalist group.
All that matters is that a “credentialed authority” has applied the label to them which provides the justification for ignoring them or making them a pariah organization.
It’s really no different from the Church designating those with differing opinions as heretics.
It’s like Lauren Southern’s wikipedia page says she’s a white nationalist. The evidence? A laundry list of people who called her a white nationalist.

They’re indoctrinating kids.

It’s one of those odd win win situations in this war. Putin gains domestic support and the west gets to say “look how unpopular Putin is at home.”
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) pledged to renounce the GOP and leave the party altogether if former President Donald Trump is the Republican nominee for president in 2024.
Bye.
“No. 1, the demand for White supremacy vastly outstrips the supply of White supremacy. No. 2, the FBI’s playbook when it comes to counterterrorism investigations is always and unequivocally morally equivalent to entrapment, even if there’s a legal definition that allows them to skirt that.” Mr. Seraphin said.
This is like saying “Water is wet”.
Yes, buh bye, smile Lizzy on your way out the door, you sour face looking ho!
She is a scorned woman – those unappreciative serfs! – and she wants her pound of flesh….

“The federal deficit is now out of control”
The federal deficit has been out of control for years. Now it’s just a matter of if we are going to increase it by a huge, huge, huge, humongerous amount. Or just a huge, huge humongerous amount. Come on GOP, I know you and your fearless leader Turtlehead can do it!
Also, the rate hikes cannot stop the out of control housing bubble. It is real, no matter how bad real estate agents don’t want you to see it. Home owners are just not willing to let go of the delusion that their home is worth 2 or 3x what it is really worth. The crash will be epic! Progtards prepare for the day when there is no place left for you to flee to and ruin also. Come on, Brandon, you can do it!
I see that you guys are the only place left on the intertoobz that has not banned me, yet. I’ll work on that today. Come on Hipster Juiceaholics and Gliberinas, you can do it!
It’s going to take more than this little screed to do that.
I’ll work on it as soon as my clients leave me alone, damnit!
Glad you’re back. Good luck with the impending ban.
That’s Libertardians to you, pal.
Welcome back.
Don’t get banned.
I mean, getting banned is the only thing I was looking forward to today.
When can I look forward to the United States’ collapse exactly? I wanna start buying spam.
Can you pinpoint the date of the collapse of the Roman Empire (either one)? Or the British Empire?
Sometimes a century is the best you can do.
Sorry, it’s going to be a long slow death with all the socialist core features, like poverty, misery, and death. But if you can find legacy Spam, legacy Vienna sausages, legacy Twinkies, or legacy Hohos, they all have a half life somewhere north of Plutonium, so you will be good for the entire haul.
Start posting NSFW pics, that’ll do it.
Wait…
Any actual info on the whole Pooh Coup rumored over the weekend? I would have expected something more definitive by now one way or another…
Nothing. I’ve seen local reports out of Beijing that don’t indicate anything out of the normal.
CIA psyop.
Yep.
Oh, that Pooh. It’s probably a lot like the Putin coup. Our media made it up?
That’s some brilliant logic there, Tom.

Not Nyet, anyway.
Malinowski is insane and malicious. “They haven’t nuked us yet, so let’s keep poking the bear!”
It’s like an IQ starting with an 8 is required to sit in Congress these days.
These idiots are acting like we’re dealing with Saddam or Muamar.
I feel like the goal is to leave scorched earth for the Republicans to take over. So selfish and crazy, but it does seem that way.
“Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-NJ) said the US should send the longer-range weapons since Russia hasn’t taken any action against the US or its NATO allies in response to the current levels of support.”
*squints suspiciously*
Are we sure Mr. Malinowski is sentient?
I’m pretty sure he’s not.
The beauty of contemporary identity politics is how it simultaneously forms a belief system for pious acolytes as well as a weapon to be cynically wielded in the crabs-in-a-barrel fight to gain exposure in competitive fields like art and media.

Yup…
I recently bought an old C4 Corvette ZR-1 off Bring a Trailer. It was mostly stock, but had some mild mods I didn’t care for like the newer style rims and aftermarket exhaust. I was able to find the stock rims not too far from home right after I bought it. The mufflers and tailpipes, not so much. There was a set in Muncie and a set in Long Island on Ebay (both local pickup only due to size). The Muncie ones sold before I had the opportunity to figure out when I could make the drive. Just before I was ready to pull the trigger on the Long Island mufflers, a set showed up in Rockford IL. I ended up getting those this weekend. I left TX after work Friday, drive to IL and back to TX by Sunday. I don’t mind telling you that was exhausting.
.😐
Dude,
That’s commitment! How about some pics/video once you have it set up?
Seconded.
Those cars sold for $60k+ (MSRP, the early ones sold for over $100k with dealer markups) in the 90’s and you can buy low mileage (mine had under 17k miles when I bought it) great condition ones all day long in the $20’s and $30’s now. Not sure why there’s no love for them. I think I’ll change my avatar to it. I feel bad for the guys that bought and stored them without putting some miles on them. Still an incredible car today.
I just come here for the long-pun setup stories.
Right? You have to admire the craftsmanship.

Some say doctors, teachers, politicians, police, etc. are “helping” jobs, & we should trust them more as they “sacrifice” to take such jobs, either via pay, hours, risks, or job conditions. On ave., what % of value do you estimate that they actually sacrifice to take such jobs?

Is that the one with the four cam motor? Mercury Marine, right?
Yes.
Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-NJ) said the US should send the longer-range weapons since Russia hasn’t taken any action against the US or its NATO allies in response to the current levels of support. He said that support hasn’t “caused Putin to do any of the insane things that some people feared that he would.”
If at first you don’t succeed…
I wonder how much collusion is causing this
Volume could play a part in this, but my gut tells me that the courts and other do-gooder organizations are doing their best to slow walk these hearings in order to create pressure like this on the landlords. “Things are just so backed up! Maybe if you want this to be resolved quickly you should show some compassion and settle for a promise that they will pay going forward, but you forgive the old rent”
In disc golf news – a trans-woman defeated the 2022 “female” world champ yesterday in a play-off at a major tournament…. and the disc golf scene is abuzz over it with the expected discourse – the woke vs the un-woke.
Skip to 4:30 to watch the last two holes and see if you can ID the trans-woman……
FPO Hi LIghts at Maple Hill
Serious question: is there that much difference between the sexes in disc golf performance? I’d think accuracy wouldn’t be much different, but maybe there’s a range effect?
There is a sex difference in chess.
Of course there is in disk golf.
The chess thing is because it’s hard for guys, especially nerdy straight guys, to concentrate when sitting across from Anya Taylor Joy
That said, I’d think accuracy and disc control would be more important on the vast majority of holes. You poise a good question; is there a difference between men and women when it comes to accuracy?
Lung capacity.

Big difference between MPO and FPO. On this course none of the FPO players finished under par and they were using much shorter tees. The top MPO players were all double digits under par.

I am going to take the credit for the Vikes victory over the Mighty Lions yesterday. I had them playing in the background as I was cleaning the garage and only really started paying attention in the 4th quarter.
Turned off the TV in udder disgust* when they failed to convert on 4th down with 2 minutes to play. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that they pulled out a win somehow. I’m sure they did it just to fuck with me.
*Udder disgust is when I get so pissed off that milk shoots out my nipples.
Lol. I was fishing and missed the first part of the game. And I too was working on chores and ignored the game (other than to mock Clutch Cousins as I walked through the house).
I should have tried that tactic with the Niners’ game last night. What an abomination.
Giorgia Meloni, head of the conservative populist Brothers of Italy party, is set to become the country’s first right-wing prime minister since the second World War, and the country’s first female prime minister ever.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) pledged to renounce the GOP and leave the party altogether if former President Donald Trump is the Republican nominee for president in 2024.
Well . . . bye.
I like to see politicians being something other than craven party machine cogs. She must be banking on the idea that the GOP is still controlled by the establishment, and that they will successfully put down the internal rebellion by actual conservatives.
She sees it as a win win, if the GOPe wins, then she gets to be super important. If Trump wins, then she can add another bullet point about how principled she is to her resume when she is applying to be a CNN host.
Based on my training and experience, any time a LEO says “based on my training and experience” they are about to perpetrate a fraud upon the court.

And everyone knows that every time you see a IL license plate, the driver is from Chicago. The rest of the state residents are known to never drive across a state line.
Only to illegaly transport guns in from Indiana.
Damnit! Well, my comment about them importing themselves is still relevant.
“The rest of the state residents are known to never drive across a state line.”
Except when they go to Indiana to get Indiana guns. Oh wait, those drive themselves across state lines, I forgot.
To be fair, the Chicago metro area touches four states (including IL). Undoubtedly it will consume the entire state shortly.

The FBI’s counterterrorism investigations targeting suspected White supremacists and right-wing extremists are mostly “entrapment” operations, a former agent involved in those cases told The Washington Times.
Because there are more informants than there are violent white-supremes.

Susan Collins, the new president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, said Monday that a higher unemployment rate will be needed to bring down inflation from unusually high levels, but suggested any economic downturn would likely be modest.
In her first speech as Boston Fed president, Collins said the economy is resilient enough to withstand the higher interest rates needed to combat inflation, which is near a four-decade high. Her comments echoed similar remarks from Raphael Bostic, president of the Atlanta Fed, on Sunday. Fed Chair Jerome Powell has also said that fighting inflation would cause “pain” for households and businesses.
“Accomplishing price stability will require slower employment growth and a somewhat higher unemployment rate,” Collins said in written remarks to be delivered Monday before the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce.
Collins acknowledged that job losses are painful and said “there is apprehension about the possibility of a significant downturn.” Yet she maintained that “the goal of a more modest slowdown, while challenging, is achievable.”
Higher unemployment in inside-the-Beltway Washington is what we need.
They went from denying that inflation existed, to insisting it was under control and going to come down, to denying that a recession will happen to “the goal of a more modest slowdown, while challenging, is achievable.” We are so fucked. This might be the big one that the Austrians have been predicting for the last 20 years.
^this^
Oh, there is no soft landing for this one.
The Fed is simply trying to stabilize the dollar so that it remains the global reserve currency. The other considerations will just get lip service.
The real question is how Congress will respond. The Fed has basically told them to cut spending. Methinks they’re not going to accept that message willingly.
By cut spending you mean using emergency powers to illegally bribe my constituents, right?
They’re not going to accept that message, period. Right now, the Biden admin is trying to spend every last penny they can spend before they are unable to steal more elections. When I think about it, I get a vision of people on rooftops attempting to flee the country with bags full of now worthless currency. This is the eventual ending to Krugabe’s inflation only exists in the minds of right wing extremists theory.
On the bright side, we get to watch Europe, and probably China, implode first.

I like how they openly tell you that individuals mean nothing to them – it’s only The Collective that matters.
“Some of you will have to go without a job, go hungry, go on public assistance, or maybe even be homeless and die on a subway grate in the cold of winter, so that WE – your benevolent overlords – can get the inflation knobs and dials all to where we want them… I know it seems like bad news, but just think of the Greater Good, Comrade Prole.”
Yes.

Fears are growing that the EU could descend into anarchy as its working classes pay the price to combat Russian energy aggression. A commission, entitled Save Gas for a Safe Winter, allows officials in Brussels to impose fines for non-compliance if the energy crisis escalates to a dangerous level. Several EU member states are considering adopting stringent energy rationing measures, which has caused dozens of energy-intensive factories to cut back production or shut down.
Those unpatriotic ingrates will just have to suck it up and deal with the totally unanticipated consequences of economic sanctions against their main source of reliable energy.
A straight-up lie. Russia will sell the gas. Germany is holding the parts for Nordstream 1 and is the one who turned off Nordstream 2, not Russia.
I like how they openly tell you that individuals mean nothing to them – it’s only The Collective that matters.

Cali is determined to become even more of a shithole.
California is committing to a plan that will make it the first US state to phase out gas-fueled furnaces and water heaters in homes, a move environmentalists are betting will provide a template for other states.
The Golden State will ban the sale of all new natural gas-fired space heaters and water heating appliances by 2030, under a proposal unanimously approved by the California Air Resources Board on Thursday.
A template of what not to do.
Yeah, the northern tier of states is going to ban the sale of gas furnaces. Sure thing environmentalists.
