Dream BIGLY.

I want a car that is powered by a mini nuclear reactor.

When I get home, I will plug my house into my car instead of the other way around.

American Transition To Idiocracy Running Ahead Of Schedule
U.S.

Apr 10, 2024 · BabylonBee.com

U.S. — Lawmakers and powerbrokers across the United States were proud to announce that America's transition to being an idiocracy is currently running far ahead of schedule.

The shift has been in progress for several decades but has made significant advancements in recent years, with many members of Congress now fully on board and operating as key members of the country's idiocratic government.

"We've become morons much more quickly than we anticipated," said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. "Though it initially seemed like an impossible feat, our hard work to turn the United States into a nation governed by total imbeciles is nearly complete. We've succeeded in weeding out the country's best and brightest and replaced them with drooling dolts. There's now light at the end of the tunnel. The dream of a nation run entirely by idiots is within reach."

Proponents of the transition to idiocracy cited the recent statements made by Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee regarding the moon and sun as clear evidence the plan is ahead of schedule. Jackson Lee offered a brief comment on the incident. "What I said is correct," she explained. "Once you realize that cars are made of cheese and rain is actually falling tears from crying birds, everything else makes sense."

At publishing time, Jackson Lee had proposed a plan for NASA to launch a mission to colonize the sun.

Methinks she's confusing the Moon with Congress.

Good, we should be confronting these bastards, Ukraine/Russia is fracking Euro-problem/distraction...it's these Chi-Com bastards we have to engage.

If they start peeling away Brazilian goods, somebody else will have to get less...whoever they are sell to them...

We need to start pivoting away from them and get more self-reliant and not so tied down to a bad actor.

Oh yeah...if this BLS # came in "hot" we know it is hotter than reported...

And even this data shows stuff people need - shelter, energy account for half...other necessities rose as well...and food being unchanged is NOT the same as good news since prices just stay elevated...

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/consumer-prices-print-hotter-expected-led-surge-energy-shelter-costs

And the casino's interpretation is that at most 2 cuts are priced in with odds of cuts dropping to 20%...and the puking dollar caused other asset pukes...and bond yields are spiking and well...come on...Powell will come to FJB's aid no matter what it does to the economy so more bad news is coming...

And nobody wants our crap paper anymore so all this debt will have to be monetized...

The Police State / Corrupt FJB BLS sharing inside info with "super users" BlackRock, JPM etc

« Last post by Libertas on April 10, 2024, 08:38:16 AM »

Once it became public knowledge that there was a super secret group of preferential "accounts" receiving economic data, immediately following the Bloomberg report, a recipient of the email said that BLS Statistics "tried to retract it and that they were told to disregard its contents." Almost as if they were trying to hide it after the fact.

In retrospect, it appears the BLS really did have something to hide, because in a follow up from both the NYT and Bloomberg, we now learn that an economist from the Bureau of Labor Statistics was corresponding on data related the monthly CPI print with major firms like JPMorgan and BlackRock, in what Bloomberg said "raised questions about equitable access to economic information."

Extending on the report from February, records requested by Bloomberg revealed that the unnamed BLS economist answered numerous inquiries about details within the CPI in recent months, mostly related to computations in key categories within shelter as well as used cars, according to

The back and forth between the financial firms and the economist "who has been with the BLS for many years" was first reported by the New York Times; as discussed previously, the government bureaucrat sent several emails to a broader group, which he called “my super users” in one of the emails obtained by Bloomberg. The BLS previously lied when it said it doesn’t maintain a list of “super users.”

In mid-February, one user asked if they could be added to the “super user email list,” to which the BLS economist replied minutes later, “Yes I can add you to the list.” The move was an attempt by the lowly paid government worker to curry favor with his much better paid peers on the sell- and buyside so that he could, one day, trade the preferential data access for a cushier job in some hedge fund or Wall Street firm.

As Bloomberg details, while the recipients’ names were redacted from the request, email signature details or disclosures from their employers were visible in some of the provided records. And in addition to BlackRock and JPMorgan, other banks, hedge funds and research firms — Brevan Howard, Millennium Capital Partners LLP, Citadel, Moore Capital Management, High Frequency Economics, Nomura Securities International and BNP Paribas — appeared in the exchanges and declined to comment. Pharo Management and Wolfe Research also came up in the emails but didn’t provide comment.

Understandably, economists - at least those who were not important enough to be on the "super user" list - have been clamoring to find out more about these “super users” are after the BLS staffer addressed an email to those people in February, suggesting that a change to the weights of underlying data within a key measure of rental inflation was behind its surge in January’s CPI. As we reported at the time, the BLS told recipients to disregard its contents, and subsequently tried to clear the confusion with a notice on its website. The agency also said that the email was “a mistake.”
