This is a different thang to the Atlanta FRB GDPNOW-which is still well over positive at yesterdays revised +1.4% (and will be adjusted again tomorrow) that (GDPNOW) will likely never be negative again and not even below +1%
Q2 GDP Revised Higher To -0.6%, As Price Index Soars To Highest Since March 1981
While few will care about the second revision to Q2 GDP which as of today ended nearly three months ago and all attention has shifted to the current quarter which concludes in a month, it was notable that for Q2, the BEA revised the GDP number which came in well above what it reported in its preliminary, first estimate and also what Wall Street expected, as the economy shrank "only" 0.6% in Q2, an improvement to the -0.9% reported initially and better than the -0.7% consensus expectation. Still, the data confirms that for all intents and purposes, the US remains in a technical recession.
Some Details (this is BEA Bureau of Economic Analysis release-and the one Janet keeps pointing to while ignoring the real definition of a recession which is 2 consecutive qtrs of negative GDP activity-which we've had even with the fakey-do #s)
The second-quarter decrease in real GDP reflected decreases in inventory investment, housing investment, federal government spending, and state and local government spending. Exports and consumer spending increased. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased.
Still moar 'details'
-The decrease in inventory investment primarily reflected a decrease in retail trade (led by โotherโ general merchandise stores) and wholesale trade.
-The decrease in housing investment primarily reflected a decrease in brokersโ commissions....wuuut? not a decrease in home sale activity?
-The decrease in federal government spending primarily reflected a decrease in non-defense spending
-The decrease in state and local government spending was led by a decrease in investment in structures that was partly offset by an increase in compensation of employees of state and local government. (which will NOT contribute to ANY inflation at all.../s)
-The increase in imports reflected an increase in services (led by travel).
-The increase in exports reflected increases in both goods (led by industrial supplies and materials) and services (led by travel). (especially if you keep sending out all the Natty gas to Yerp at record prices...nope not that either..)
-The increase in consumer spending reflected an increase in services (led by food services and accommodations as well as โotherโ services) that was partly offset by a decrease in goods (led by food and beverages)...(ok this makes ZERO sense here but you go with that)
Compared to the initial GDP print, the revisions were as follows:
Consumer Spending was boosted from 0.70% to 0.99% of the bottom line GDP print
Fixed Investment on the other hand was revised modestly lower, from -0.72% to -0.84%
-The closely watched change in private inventories number ended up being revised higher, from -2.01% to -1.83%, which means that the inventory destocking likely has more to go in Q3, and is in fact bad news for the current quarter-(muh carried cost of inventory will be for moar than just one moar Qtr)
-Net exports (exports less imports) was unchanged at 1.43%, the same as the initial estimate.
-Finally, government consumption subtracted -0.32% from the final GDP print, essentially unchanged from the -0.33% reported one month ago.(how is this even possibruh??)
(and then the big one(s) they care the most about here:) Separately, the report found that corporate profits had fallen 2.2% in prior quarter, while on a Y/Y basis, profits rose 8.1% in 2Q after rising 12.6% prior quarter. Financial industry profits declined 4.8% Q/q in 2Q after falling 9.3% prior quarter; Federal Reserve bank profits down 8.4% in 2Q after rising 11.1% prior quarter; Nonfinancial sector profits rose 9.4% Q/q in 2Q after falling 0.3% prior quarter. And while none of the above could move the needle, what is notable is that inflation came in hotter than expected again, with Gross domestic purchases prices, rising 8.4% (revised) in the second quarter after increasing 8.0 percent in the first quarter. Excluding food and energy, prices increased 6.8 percent (revised) after increasing 6.9 percent. Personal consumption expenditure (PCE) prices increased 7.1 percent (revised) in the second quarter, the same rate as the first quarter. Excluding food and energy, the PCE โcoreโ price index increased 4.4 percent (revised) after increasing 5.2 percent.
As for the reason why yields spiked and futures slumped after the GDP print, look no further than the deflator: the GDP Price Index, came in red hot at 8.9%, above the 8.7% expected which was also the number reported in the first revision. Printing at a fresh 41 year high, it means Powell will see even more pressure to come off as hawkish-(which they have 'shown' that this week with the FOMC 'needle' squarely placed at 50-75bp but that will all change on Sept 13th100% guaranteedwith the CPI#s and the second 'all clear' pronouncement

Mortgage rates spike, hitting 2-month high
Mortgage rates rose sharply this week to their highest level since reaching a record near 6% in June, putting further pressure on the cooling housing market.
Freddie Mac said Thursday that its latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey shows the average rate for the benchmark 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is now at 5.55%, a nearly half-point jump from last week's reading of 5.13%. At this time last year, 30-year fixed-rate products averaged 2.87%. The rate for a 15-year fixed-rate note also surged, averaging 4.85% after coming in at 4.55% last week.That is more than double the average rate at this time last year when 15-year products were at 2.17%.(and exactly wat the NYFRB MBS OPS are directed at-see cap #1 yellow highlight and red circle-they are trying to "prepare" it for the coming deluge of issues they are going to try and sell-since the first one in june went so well..only 1/8 of what they offered was taken)
The National Association of Realtors reported this week that pending home sales dipped 1% in July from the month before, a 19.9% drop year over year to the lowest level since 2020. New home sales tumbled last month to the lowest level since 2016, with the median price of a new home jumping 9% from the month before to $439,400. Would-be buyers, already squeezed by inflation, are increasingly getting jitters over making a home purchase amid recession fears. Redfin reported last week that home sale cancellations climbed in July to a two-year high of 63,000, equal to 16% of the homes that went under contract that month.
But Khater says there are still people shopping for homes, adding, "amid waning demand, there are still potential homebuyers on the sidelines waiting to jump back into the market."
(you will always have 'potential' homebuyers as people need to move for various reasons-some not of their choice too but this idea that (serial spinmeisters at the NAR and this "economist") present it as them waiting to pounce is completely reeedikulezz-look at the traffic-and lack of it-at the various open houses in your neighborhood-does it look like people are waiting to "jump back into the market"..it doesn't in this locale at all..the last open house in muh local had ZERO traffic and that was almost 45-50 days ago.

Japan Seeks 'Sustainable World' In Africa Aid Forum
With its stated purpose to "create a sustainable world together", Japan on Saturday kicks off its aid conference for Africa, where rival China has invested heavily in recent years.
The eighth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD8) comes against the backdrop of China's rising influence, cemented on the continent by its "Belt and Road" infrastructure initiative. A "complex" international environment caused by issues including "the situation in Ukraine" surrounds the meeting in Tunisia's capital, the Japanese foreign ministry said. It is the first TICAD held every three years either in Japan or an African country since the pandemic began and Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will be attending remotely after testing positive for Covid-19. Replacing him at the head of the Japanese delegation will be his Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi, and about 5,000 participants are expected to attend. Among them will be 30 heads of state and government, converging on the Tunisian capital from across the continent. Alongside the summit, businesspeople will attend an economic conference while various parallel events and workshops will address civil society and women's inclusion. Since their inception in 1993, the TICAD conferences, co-sponsored by the United Nations, World Bank and African Union, have generated 26 development projects in 20 African countries, largely funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
With a view to "accelerating Japanese investment in Africa", the conference will focus on three pillars: economy; society; and peace and stability, according to the official presentation. With more than $130 million already set to be delivered in food aid, Japan will also provide assistance for "rice production and food security" in view of the food crisis worsened by the Ukraine war. Japanese economic paper Nikkei reported that aid to Africa could increase by 40 percent over the next three years, compared to 2020-2022.

President Rodrigo Chaves Clashes with Costa Rican Media, Prompting Claims of Intimidation
The Inter-American Press Association (IAPA) has urged Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chaves not to discredit the media, warning that some of the governmentโs recent actions amount to intimidation of the press.
The statement came after Chavesโ administration suspended the sanitary permit for Parque Viva, one of Central Americaโs biggest entertainment parks owned by Costa Rican newspaper La Nacion.
Founded in 1946, La Nacion is Costa Ricaโs oldest newspaper. Many of its sister publications, such as El Financiero, are also widely read in the Spanish-speaking market.
President Chaves developed animosity against the publication after it repeatedly criticized him, citing the sexual harassment charges he faced when he was an executive at the World Bank.
sounds just like ex-IMF President Dominque Strauss-Kahn 'treatment'-and they did that to him after he started making noises about having a gold-backed system-a few months later he got accused of rape and the 'accusor' then had a six-figure sum "appear" in her bank account after-I habs no idea what is true about the current Costa Rican Pres and also not defending the ex-IMF guy either but isn't it interdasting that when anyone questions a financial system from a position of power they get this type of shit..just something to keep in mind
According local media reports, Chaves vowed to punish La Nacion and Canal 7 during the campaign trail itself. Two months after being inaugurated as President, Chaves questioned the way La Nacion raised funds in the bond market. Weeks later, his government suspended the sanitary permit for Parque Viva on the basis of an anonymous complaint. โThe administrative actions against one of the companies that give economic stability to the newspaper were taken two days after the President criticized the media,โ noted Jorge Canahuati, President of IAPA.

Costa Rica Eyes Raising $2.7 Billion Via Sale of State Financial Assets
If approved, the sale of the banks is expected to raise $1.8 billion, equivalent to some 2.8% of Costa Rica's gross domestic product, while the stake in the insurance company should fetch around $890 million, Chaves said in a speech marking his first 100 days in office. "Soon we'll present the bill to Congress, they're ready for it and I'm looking over (it)," Chaves said.

The Other Shoe Drops: Blackstone Landlord Halts Home Purchases In 38 Cities As Market Crashes
One month after we reported that home prices finally dropped for the first time in year, an observation echoed yesterday by Black Knight which also found that home prices had fallen for the first time in 3 years last month - in the biggest decline since 2011 - we knew the other shoe in the ongoing housing crash was set to drop any minute. We didn't have long to wait, because just after the close today, all those who had defended housing as backstopped by Wall Street's biggest firms and thus unlikely to crash, were suddenly silenced when Bloomberg reported that Home Partners of America, the single-family landlord owned by Blackstone, the largest residential and commercial landlord in the US, will stop buying homes in 38 US cities, becoming the latest institutional investor to back away from an overheated housing market.
The company, which was acquired by Blackstone in June 2021 for $6 billion, told customers that as of Sept. 1, it is pausing applications and property submissions in Boise, Idaho; Fresno, California; Memphis, Tennessee, and 25 other areas. The company will go on hiatus in 10 additional cities on Oct. 1 (incidentally, Boise, ID is the city which saw explosive price increases during the covid pandemic, and has since then seen an unprecedented plunge with Redfin reporting that a record 70% of home sellers had dropped their asking price in July). โWe assessed several factors such as home price appreciation, state and local regulations and market demand to guide our investment plans to best serve consumers,โ Home Partners of America said in an announcement on its website. โWe hope to resume purchasing homes in these markets in the future.โ (translated: when prices begin to rise again so we don't purchase any homes 'cheaper' than wut we already bought them for-see above..how stoopid do you think people are?)
According to Bloomberg, Home Partners of America, which operates in more than 80 markets, stands out from other large single-family landlords because itโs designed to give tenants a pathway to homeownership. Customers apply for the program and, if approved, can submit homes they would like to eventually buy. Home Partners purchases the property in cash, then rents it to the customer, who gets the right to purchase the home at a predetermined price. (which is often much higher than it is worth-think credit card interest rates-and they usually present this as 'offering affordable housing to those who wouldn't be able to afford it in the first place-how nice of them..left unsaid is that by doing this you've driven up the prices of ALL homes in those markets based on sheer volume of buying power..GFY Blackstone yer game is easy to see here)
Under the new policy, customers who have been approved but donโt submit a home by the cutoff date will be withdrawn from the program and have their application fee refunded, according to the announcement. (they will be sooo thankful in a few months imo as that 'asset' is already rapidly depreciating so if I was one of those I would say "thank you for saving muhself from muhself")
Home Partners isnโt the first Wall Street institutional investor to back away from the US housing market, which reached a frenzied bubble during the first half of the year, a bubble which has since popped with both new and existing home sales collapsing at near record rates. As we reported last month, Invitation Homes, American Homes 4 Rent, and KKRโs My Community Homes are among landlords that have slowed purchases during a period of high home prices and rising financing costs.
Mynd Management, a real estate platform that helps investors find, buy, lease, manage, and sell residential investment properties, advised institutional clients to dial back acquisitions and wait for housing prices to readjust to the interest rate shock. In an interview, Mynd's CEO Doug Brien told Bloomberg that market conditions could improve in the fall as "buying opportunities" emerge. (of course!!! the ever optimistic slant here-are you not looking at the overall picture ProTip: they never do) He said, for the time being, "let's tap the brakes and watch the markets." Only instead of tapping the breaks, they were slammed full force...
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/other-shoe-drops-blackstone-landlord-halts-home-purchases-38-cities-market-crashes
QRB ,via a few different sites-has documented this since the first cracks started to appear-not the only ones to see this for sure-these dbags certainly did but din't stop so they are ONLY intersted in acquiring properties and continuing to inflate the housing market so they can "sell" them to unsuspecting people and call it "access to homes" when it was largely THEM who are/were responsible for these insane valuation levels.
The Wall St property acquisition process (via Blackstone in this particular case-they are the canary in the coalmine) on this scale is calling out the FOMC or calling the bluff on interest rate raises
Over a period of time this will backfire on them spectacularly so they obliviously know that the FED is NOT going to be raising interest rates at the pace they have talked about or they would not have announced this-they are publicly calling the bluff since if they do not continue to buy these properties them the whole thing falls out from under them and they know it.
The only way this particular model continues is if "up" is achieved..can't do that if they stop or back off buying at the rate they were acquiring them at
They off-load the entire liability of the price to the "buyer" in this processbut they need that buyer in order for that to occurstopping this now may have a temporary affect of the ones they already own being moar desirable but that is all relative to who will be qualifying for these (or other homes) going forward-since credit and debt has a lot to do with how you qualify (debt-to-income ratio) and that is not going to improve any time soon-however back to this...it's a bluff call-they are outwardly telling the FOMC you had better stop raising and begin lowering rates or all this goes POOF-WE have the ability to do that on a much larger scalethan regular uncoordinated retail buyers-who are already pulling back.
>near future
it will until they pivot-not talk about it but do it-then the orgy resumes but other factors come into play like a completely PISSED off public for allowing the spigot to be turned back on.
That, hopefully, exposes them moar.
Ima thinking you habs a small window of op for the next several months since those (home prices) will not just turn on a dime back up-before they resume the skying of home prices since that takes longer to achieve than the equity mkts.
It's a tight-rope..it also depends on how long the public gonna put up with this shit too.
you better than most as yours is by choice-I noes you really need it but if it ain't right you won't do something by being forced to-many have to make dumb choices since they are forced to move (jobs, health etc) a number of factors you don't habs
Blackstone (as proxy fer not just the property purchases-they are speaking for the big banks as owners of the FRB) announce all that stoppage the day before his "speech" in never-can-afford to live at Jackson Hole...fuggen priceless!...the owners of the FED speaketh..they will slam the metals too.
The other big factor is 'selling' the MBS and that will really fuq up rates if they actually try and follow through on that (and rates sky) if they do. I don't know how much of that amount is the matured portion but if they actively try to sell it like in June (and conditions were better then) >>138076 pb the only big one they did and EBIC FAIL
So many factors are coalescing within the next 30-60 days and all bent on getting the recession over with-and right before the election they run out of the SPR releases for that angle-dropping gas prices but that is a refinery issue moar than a supply one.

VP Kamala Harris holes up in Hawaii as Biden signs spending bill, reveals student loan plan
The vice president and husband Doug Emhoff have been vacationing in Hawaii for more than a week โ putting Harris thousands of miles away from President Bidenโs side for two of the biggest set-piece events of his administration so far. Harris and Emhoff arrived in Hawaii on Aug. 15, one day before Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law. The bill, a slimmed-down version of the presidentโs initial Build Back Better plan, spends $437 billion on environmental and healthcare programs โ and is paid for, in part, by stepped-up tax collection by a beefed-up IRS. The president was flanked at the signing ceremony by key congressional Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and moderate Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) โ but not Harris, who was photographed the same day at a farmers. The veepโs Hawaii trip followed a quiet weekend at the coupleโs home in Brentwood, Calif. Her last public event was Aug. 12 in her hometown of Oakland, where she spoke about the future of the US space program.
Harris has had nothing on her official calendar since then.
The vice presidentโs office and a White House spokesman did not immediately respond to a query about when the vice president and second gentleman were due back in DC.
The absence of Americaโs second-in-command appears to have largely gone unnoticed โ aside from a handful of photos posted on social media that show the vice president visiting the beach.
TMZ also published a photo on Monday of Harris in peak vacation mode as she went hiking in Haena State Park on the island of Kauaสปi. In the past, Harris has been dogged by rumors of a strained relationship with Biden โ including a report last year that she was being sidelined amid growing tensions with the president. market.
AIRLINE VIDEOS-Los Angeles (LAX) Airport Plane Spotting
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JjYx1sJEcw
Kneepads' excellent (for her) tax-payer funded vakay to Hawaii when inflation in well over double digits for everyone else: Extra mileage and Jet Fuel costs
Using 3 different Airplanes that is a total of 26,812 air miles for this trip-you've got the return trip to DC for the C-32A from LAX on Aug 12-the rt from DC-LAX-DC for the C-40B SAM 741 that also took her to Hawaii so that rt LAX-Kaua'i-LAX (the return trip to DC factored already) and then SAM795 from DC to Hawaii and then back to LAX for a total of that amount above of 26,812 air miles or moar than the circumference of the entire planet.
That should have used 1 airplane (the one that was already in Los Angeles on August 12th) for a total of 8,460 miles-the round trip from Los Angeles to Kauaสปi and back to Los Angeles.
An extra 18,352 miles and 2 additional ACs so she could have a vacation in Hawaii
In laymans terms that extra mileage is 73% of the circumference of the earth (24,901.461m) in aircraft use, 3-4 additional crews (paying them too) and using that much moar jet fuel-rough calc of $3.55'gl for Jet A Fuel for those 18,360 miles is $65,178 in EXTRA FUEL costs alone for the additional ACs. The entire mileage for all the ACs involved was roughly 26,812-which is moar than circling the globe that cost is $95,182.6 just for the fuel.
Crew payment-hotels, meals, ALL the Secret Service Costs too- etc- not added to this at all

Sen. Marsha Blackburn lands in Taiwan for surprise visit after calling China 'New Axis of Evil'
Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn is the latest in a series of US lawmakers to visit Taiwan amid tensions with China. en. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., landed in Taiwan for an unannounced visit on Thursday, according to a source familiar with the trip.
Blackburn is only the latest in a series of U.S. lawmakers to fly to Taiwan, a trend that has outraged the Chinese government. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited the self-governed island in early August, and she was the highest-level U.S. official to do so since Speaker Newt Gingrich in 1997.
The Pentagon declined to comment on Blackburn's trip, stating that it does not comment on security details. "We of course take all appropriate measures to ensure the safety of Members of Congress wherever and whenever they choose to travel," a Pentagon spokesperson told Fox News Digital. China, which has long claimed Taiwan as its own territory, argues the trips infringe on its sovereignty. No other lawmakers are accompanying Blackburn on the visit. The senator was already on her way home from a foreign trip visiting Fiji, the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea this week, according to a Thursday morning statement from her office.

Dis is all Bullshit-just FED speak and nuffin but talk....(((they))) called the bluff yesterday with this >>146982 and all it is nao is theater until Sept 13th CPI #s that will show what he (Powell) re-iterated today "signs it has peaked" (inflation)
Powell warns of โsome painโ ahead as the Fed fights to bring down inflation
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell on Friday pledged that the central bank will โuse our tools forcefullyโ to attack inflation that is still running near its highest level in more than 40 years. In his annual Jackson Hole, Wyoming, policy speech, Powell added that higher interest rates likely will persist โfor some time. The historical record cautions strongly against prematurely loosening policy.โ The remarks come amid signs that inflation may have peaked but is not showing any marked signs of decline. Powell said the Fed will not be swayed by a month or two of data. Even with a series of four consecutive interest rate increases totaling 2.25 percentage points, Powell said this is โno place to stop or pauseโ even though benchmark rates are probably around an area considered neither stimulative nor restrictive to growth.
โWhile higher interest rates, slower growth, and softer labor market conditions will bring down inflation, they will also bring some pain to households and businesses,โ he said in prepared remarks. โThese are the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation. But a failure to restore price stability would mean far greater pain.โ Stocks briefly extended losses as Powell began his speech, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average off nearly 200 points. The market later steadied, with the Dow down narrowly. Treasury yields were off their highs of the session. The remarks come amid signs that inflation may have peaked but is not showing any marked signs of decline.
Two closely watched gauges, the consumer price index and the personal consumption expenditures price index, showed prices little changed in July, owing largely to a steep drop in energy costs. At the same time, other areas of the economy are slowing.Housing in particular is falling off rapidly-(you don't say...kek!), and economists expect that the huge surge in hiring over the past year and a half is likely to cool. The economy is coming off consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, a commonly held definition of a recession. However, Powell and most other economists see the underlying economy as strong if slowing.The speech was unusually brief. Whereas Fed leaders, including Powell, often have used the Jackson Hole symposium as an opportunity to outline broad policy shifts, Powellโs remarks Friday clocked in at just about eight minutes. (not 6 minutes?!)
He introduced the speech by noting that his โremarks will be shorter, my focus narrower, and my message more direct.โ โPrice stability is the responsibility of the Federal Reserve and serves as the bedrock of our economy,โ Powell said. โWithout price stability, the economy does not work for anyone.โ Markets are awaiting the Fedโs next meeting in September to see if the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee will enact a third consecutive 0.75 percentage point increase. Powell said the decision โwill depend on the totality of the incoming data and the evolving outlook. At some point, as the stance of monetary policy tightens further, it likely will become appropriate to slow the pace of increases.โ
Traders are currently pricing a close call between a half-point and three-quarter point increase. As of Friday morning after Powellโs speech, the probability for a 0.75 point move was at 54.5%, according to the CME Groupโs FedWatch measure. (see cap#3 and it's been here at this level since monday and actually was skewed moar towards the 50-75bp yesterday than today-and they are blaming Volcker for causing a recession that it was already in when he jacked rates to the high teens-almost 20% in 1981 and left them there-they stayed above 10% until 1985)
Powell noted that the Fedโs failure to act forcefully in the 1970s caused a perpetuation of high inflation expectations that led to the draconian rate hikes of the early 1980s. In that case, then-Fed Chairman Paul Volcker pulled the economy into recession to tame inflation.
While stating repeatedly that he doesnโt think recession is an inevitable outcome for the U.S. economy, Powell noted that managing expectations is critical if the Fed is going to avoid a Volcker-like outcome. (they even said -in a previous comment-from the St. Louis FED head they they "have moar credibility nao" than when Volcker did the right thing to do back then-they know what that did-shut of the cheap money spigot for (((them))) for too long and they cannot afford that and are desperately trying to distance selves from that outcome because they are NOT gonna do anything close to that becasue "it would cause a recession"...D-E-R-P!!)
In the early 1980s, โa lengthy period of very restrictive monetary policy was ultimately needed to stem the high inflation and start the process of getting inflation down to the low and stable levels that were the norm until the spring of last year,โ Powell said. โOur aim is to avoid that outcome by acting with resolve now.โ

The last batch were not good so that life but they taste sooo much bettah..I'd go w/o before I bought them again
Kinda like tomatoes
Propane still pretty cheap relatively speaking-even gone down a little (wholesale) and can't say that for all energy related.
That about the only one-plus moar bang fer buck BTU wise ( about double iirc)
seen and heard some peeps start to dip into the stuff they stored because of cost and I don't blame them but we got a ways to go and hopefully they don't run out 'o stuff-thanks to JIT supply chain crap a grocery store is emptied in 2-3 days-way less if a run
still go to store and haven't touched much of what we habs stored-that gonna change starting next month as the power bill comes due for AC and they keep raising that too plus we need to start using some of the stuff that the expiry date matters-most of it doesn't but some stuff like the home-canned meat do.
got the plan fer the shit in the freezer-cook it and then eat that-coolers-first place is to the store fer ice -when everyone else is trying ta buy beer with credit cards-last blackout was like that around here
Then store what we got in the coolers-don't really need generator until much farther in-hopefully not that "far"-make ice when that option is gone (buying it) fuel for it habs in 5 gl cans (still sealed)
That (gen) won't power the AC so SOL on that
kek!

The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the third quarter of 2022 is 1.6 percent on August 26, up from 1.4 percent on August 24. After this morning's releases from the US Census Bureau and the US Bureau of Economic Analysis, an increase in the nowcast of third-quarter real net exports was partially offset by a decrease in the nowcast of third-quarter real personal consumption expenditures and third-quarter real gross private domestic investment.
The next GDPNow update is Thursday, September 1

They just leverage it in some cases in the high double-digits and that is the only reason they ever had the rule for it-this is different than the fractional reserve stuff-where they doze it legally 10:1..this all the off-book shit.
A check is good when it is signed (of course if the funds are available and that takes minutes to verify) the BS about clearing and needing 3-5 days is an invention and it is a complete fabrication and if you do that 100's or thousands of times a day everyday you can make a lot of $ simply 'holding funds' for 72 hours.
One of banking/finances' dirty little secrets as most people just acquiesce
they lowered that in spring 2020 as well as the reserve requirements of 10%-that gone then and I don't think they put it back either.
That why the banking stress tests are such a joke-and were when they supposedly 'had' 10%
