I heard on the radio today that grocery prices had the biggest one month increase in prices in April since (not sure either the depression or WW2).

2 point something percent, one month increase in grocery prices.

So that must mean other categories were dropping hard.

Don't worry. They will surely find a way to screw over responsible people / savers. Hell, look at what recently passed!

Good. Fuck that fake market.

Can't get it made in America if the NIMBYs strangle all abilities to compete!

When you have one state with a sensible leader like Governor Cuomo who states he is reopening the state based on COVID-19 infections and hospital capacity, and then you have a nut like Mayor Garcetti who is doing quite the opposite by locking down the city for the summer, then this is what you have as far as an economy on the verge of destruction.

Garcetti is just trying to jockey for a cabinet level job in the Biden administration by doing this. Cuomo cares too much about New York to play that game.

BOOM! Wisconsin Supremes rule Gov does not have the power to implement shutdown without consulting Legislature. Immediately invalidates shutdown - way beyond what plaintiffs asked for.

This is exactly what it should be. Now each locality can decide on its own, and not a "one size fits all" for the whole state.

CPI is currently based on these approximate percentages:
40% housing
15% food
15% transportation
7% medical
The rest on clothing, entertainment, etc.

"Factory furloughs across the U.S. are becoming permanent closings, a sign of the heavy damage the coronavirus pandemic and shutdowns are exerting on the industrial economy."

There, fixed it for you.

Barr is now stalling so that all of the scumbag Judges can take a crack at exposing their criminal use of their office.

It's going to be a long train and a glorious perpwalk of every no good commie son of a bitch in Washington.

The sheriff in a neighboring county in IL just put out that he cannot enforce JB no neck Pritzker's executive orders regarding the shutdown. Said it's not law and therefore cannot be enforced by police. Said he wouldn't be breaking up gatherings as it's not an illegal infraction to have gatherings regardless of the number of people.

The dam has cracks and is about to break I think. Good riddance.

"US consumer prices declined for the second-straight month in April",

Sure beats April, 1974's yearly average of 10.1%! For all of 1974, the average was 13.5%

"Media outlets are called to social distance themselves from the truth, suppressing any good news and positive things Trump is doing." Seems to be working.

Those powers were not allowed to be given to CA Gov by the CA Legislature. The Legislature doesn't get/understand what they think they did is unconstitutional and thus null and void. That's the beauty of a Constitution. It is rules that have to be followed, and can't just be changed willy nilly, without a large portion of the people agreeing to it.

All I know is I might take a drive up to Wisconsin and get a burger, beer and some cheese curds. These state supreme courts are going to start overturning this shit left and right. Or businesses are just going to open up and say fuck it, we listened for a couple months now and we know what the problem is, it's not us.

OccasionalCortex says

ere me, and hear me well: There will be no REAL cuts. But the media will spin it that way.

In our Great State "cuts" usually mean that we give up unfilled positions for people who actually work, e.i. staff and faculty. Administration is never cut.

This is nothing that a 30 percent increase in taxes, fees, licenses, regulations and fines can't cure. Why are they so worried?

Now watch us find out that Covid-19 virus lives on latex for two weeks!

LOL nothing but old people, DGAF and know this has all been hoaxed as fuck.

Just wait til the decoys ping guys with RealDoll homing reflexes and they proceed like zombies to the humping stations with their hard ons.

Old coots will wish they were in intensive care hooked up to ventilators and IVs with Covid rather than be in that restaurant.

Does that number accept dick pics?

Globalism was a failure, the ones that reaped the most were the financiers and investors.
It was a closed loop Monopoly of every sector, indices and vertical.
Sure it could be argued that employed a greater number of people worldwide. But it was employment without room for upward mobility.
There was no dream or hope to save up a few bucks and become a global supplier, manufacturer, or corporation. Unless you could generate enough buzz on Wall Street to go public and have the billions it takes set that up. All we can do is gamble our money in the Stock Market and invest in those companies. Which determines you to have a vested interest in that company succeeding and not having competition. Sure we could invent the Cronut but how many can you sell before the fad dies?

Globalism has been all about people cheering Warren Buffet every time he makes another billion, it's been like watching a sports team. No athletic benefit to the observer at all.

Brilliant

They need to be selectively bred, and aptly be named the "Groidunter" breed.

How many Democrats voted for that?

Industrial metals like copper are all down. Copper per pound is around $2.41. It peaked last around January 2011 at $4.58 per pound.

B-but my resource scarcity and civilization collapse!

I was looking at commodities. In general they all went up or peaked in early 2011. That tells me a lot of that was due to Federal Reserve policies and fears of inflation.

I wonder if commodities will run up again over the next couple of years due to Federal Reserve policies such as it buying at least $4 trillion in Treasury notes and corporate bonds.

The SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND says:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized.

No matter how the Senate votes, Dem or Repub, there is no way this would pass a Supreme Court test.

Corrupt retards from both parties voted for it.

The US Senate has voted to give law enforcement agencies access to web browsing data without a warrant, dramatically expanding the government’s surveillance powers in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The power grab was led by Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell as part of a reauthorization of the Patriot Act, which gives federal agencies broad domestic surveillance powers. Sens. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Steve Daines (R-MT) attempted to remove the expanded powers from the bill with a bipartisan amendment.

But in a shock upset, the privacy-preserving amendment fell short by a single vote after several senators who would have voted “Yes” failed to show up to the session, including Bernie Sanders. 9 Democratic senators also voted “No,” causing the amendment to fall short of the 60-vote threshold it needed to pass.

Excuse me, Jo who?

I have been saying since the beginning that there will be a brokered convention.
What is getting more obvious as the time approaches is, if there was anyone suited to fit the bill that could unite a large swath of the voting base to commit to the Democrat ticket.
That person would have thrown his hat in the ring a long time ago. Look at Mike Bloomberg, he thought he was a shoe in, right? Couldn't get three people excited about him.

There's going to be a brokered convention there's no doubt, Biden will never be the nominee. I don't think the person they will chose is even on the radar yet.
It wont be any of the floaters vying for the VP spot nor any of the defeated primary candidates.

So the DNC is between a rock and a hard place:
1)Biden is a surefire loser. He’s senile and can’t hack it AT ALL, can’t even be propped up enough to look reasonable. He’s got a very problematic history of bills that fuck over the public and he’s embroiled in the ObamaGate scandal, as well as having an extremely credible MeToo allegation against him from Tara Reade. Guess he fingerbanged the wrong intern!
2)if the DNC drops Joe as the nominee, they will have to go with Bernie...but they absolutely hate Bernie and refuse to nominate him. This will have to be made absolutely clear to everyone if they bypass him for anyone else. And this will completely discourage everyone who voted for Bernie from voting Democrat and probably from voting at all. This would be the worst case scenario for the DNC because it would lead to a massive loss of down ballot races for Congress, Senate, Governors, and even state level reps. The DNC would have its most disastrous loss probably ever! (I hope they go with this option)
3)They drop Biden and bring on someone so famous and charismatic that a lot of people would like them as POTUS. This eliminates everyone who ran for the nomination, and would be an overt admission that the primary process is a total scam.
They might do this. And if they are delusional enough, they might bring on Hillary to do this. That would be the worst of all worlds for the DNC, and lead to an even worse loss than in option 2.
The downside is that we would have to listen to that shrill harpy for another few months and endure yet another whiny book “What Happened 2”

If they can find ANYONE else, Biden coul dbe convinced to drop out due to "health concerns." Make up something like "chronic headache pain" - can't diagnose pain directly. Easy out.

But no one has emerged that really stands out. They don't want a centrist, but that's the only possible way to win against Trump.
No worries, Trump gets re-elected , and the left gets their first woman president in 2024:

Ivanka Trump!

Hillary Clinton Adds Latina From Labor Department To Oversee Hispanic, Black, Women's Media
Xochitl Hinojosa, a senior aide to Tom Perez, is expected to join Clinton's campaign as director of coalitions press. Hinojosa would be the third Latina to join Clinton in a high-profile campaign position.

LET"S SEE THE DNA TEST RESULTS! DOES SHE INDEED SPEAK LATIN????



Separated at birth. One gets affirmative action and can pretend to be a minority. One doesn't and can't. Which is which?

"If they can find ANYONE else, Biden could be convinced to drop out due to "health concerns." Make up something like "chronic headache pain" - can't diagnose pain directly. Easy out."
Clinton flu seems to affect people in Hillary's way. That would convince Joe, Then she can be 'convinced to step in and save the US from Trump.

I think maybe the interpretation is incorrect...more along the lines of we need to vote, we’re not just bequeathing the nomination to Biden.

I like it when I plagiarize Booger's cartoons and get more likes than Booger.

If Trump loses, now that there is precedence of Congress and Judges usurping the President on every front.
We should all elect AOC, then fill the Senate and the House with Jim Jordons, and Devein Nuenezes.
And do to them what they did to Trump. Except our Bob Mueller actually finds dirt on AOC and the rest of the Democrats past and present.

They seem to think Americans will go away if they can just get rid of Trump. But we're here to force feed them back their own shit, if they succeed in rigging the election.

They weaponized our system against America, but it's now a weapon we can use on them as well.
We're going to have to flip those seats with people who give a shit and share the American people's goal.
Then we'll get justice using their own powerful weapon against them.

Who is she related to? Dig deeper enough and see how it’s all in the family.

Newsine is a pelosi nephew, etc...
