Do you think Trump will pardon his BK filing, and make it all go away? Asking for a creditor ...

Well, not entirely. Companies building data centers or operating large manufacturing facilities are installing wind or solar power systems to help offset their electricity costs. Look at the Tesla factories and you will see solar arrays. Even retailers getting on the bandwagon. Visit the Smittys store at Bell Road and I-17 in northern Phoenix and you'll park under a solar array. You will return because you will be able to park your car in the shade while shopping. Alternative energy development will continue, but as of now not at the level needed ...

It's not tariffs, it's the price of oil and demand forecasts. As of July 5, near contract West Texas Intermediate (CL1 for those at their Bloomberg terminal) is at $66.50, too low for the development of the most expensive oil to be brought forth. Forecast demand is not strong enough to indicate higher prices for a long enough period of time for drillers to do their work. As for the loudmouth fat orange criminal insurrectionist and his comments about gasoline for less than $2 per gallon, a contest among his mouth breathing supporters should be held to name the location of a gas station selling at that price, with a copy of a dated receipt. There will be no winners ...

Wait. I'm confused. Which of these actions will be the key to Der Dotard receiving the Nobel Peace Prize?
-Capitulating to a despotic killer who seeks to enslave all those left alive in a neighboring country, after even more slaughter
-Dropping bombs willy-nilly on a country only a few days after talking up peace negotiations, then finding out that US forces may have to return with even mroe bombs
-Supporting ethnic cleansing in Gaza, after actively supporting the indiscriminate killing of tens of thousands of unarmed civilians and then starving those who remain alive
-chasing down thousands of poor working people in the US, whether here legally or not, and banishing them to concentration camps in and out of the country, then shipping many to parts of the world where they have no family, friends or economic support
-taking healthcare from millions of Americans, so that a small percentage of rich folk here get bigger tax breaks

A pretty strong resume!

In short, Powell isn't going anywhere. He is the second-most powerful man in the US and one of the most powerful in the world. In my estimation he has done a great job, and even today (July 3) talk in the bond market justified the Fed standing pat on interest rates. After his term as ed chair is complete, he will still be a Fed governor until 2028, and he will keep that job because he will be useful, and also perhaps because he will be a burr under Trump's saddle.

There are few in the MAGA-style universe who could be nominated to the job of Fed chair without wrecking the economy at the behest of the fat orange criminal insurrectionist and golf cheat. Americans far and wide should thank Jay Powell for his work in keeping the US economy running well, despite what he has faced since 2020...

I'm sure he will make a fine wife in some prison...

He should include comments such as "This is great! A bunch of you guys are going to lose your jobs next November, and have rocks thrown at you until then", or "Christians for pain, hunger, want and homelessness. Good luck explaining that to Saint Peter" or even "There will be a lot more crime in your districts as soon as the cuts kick in. Remember: a hungry man is an angry man."

The the MAGA GOP folk what's coming, so they cannot express surprise at the rage...

This is Biden's fault...

We're still sending bombs and weapons to Ukraine? Why?!? King Donald said he ended that war with a phone call, in 24 hours. I forget who won, but shouldn't we be focused on those illegals at that concentration camp in Florida?

There--fixed it...

What's the over / under on number of days before there is widespread brandishing of firearms in hospital ER wards, when farmers, gun freaks and other MAGA kooks show up demanding treatment for the next pandemic, after having decided that vaccines are bad? I'll say 167, which gets us to mid-December, the incubation period after Thanksgiving weekend. Clip and save...

The death of Mr. Perez is a warning to every Cuban in Southeast Florida. They thought they escaped political terror and retribution when they left Cuba, but surprise, surprise, they brought it with them in their support for this fat orange criminal insurrectionist and golf cheat.

I've always said that there should be more money thrown at politicians, but no one heard me because I didn't include a big check to someone's victory fund...

As mentioned in another post, the bond market sees and knows what's happening in this matter. Yields on US debt will be bid up because of this terrible bill. And don't forget that a number of states will come to market to borrower so as to cover the additional load placed upon them. Voters are not fooled either, even the 'poorly educated' Trumpian acolytes. This country's ability to borrow will continue to be pounded, and interest expense as a portion of the US budget will continue to grow...

That's IT! The UN MUST leave New York City! Now! Unless they agree with me, the UN has no place in this world. Let them go somewhere else. Americans do NOT want peace!
