AdrianC: On CNBC just now: Gas two years ago was $6 and now it's $3.

Just bought gas at Costco (cheapest gas in the area).

$4.69/gallon.

Lessee...

Inflation climbed at its fastest rate in four years.

The U.S. national debt now exceeds 100% of gross domestic product, crossing a once-unthinkable threshold, on the way toward breaking the record set in the wake of World War II.

Huh. Pedo Don campaigned on retiring the national. The genius said it would be easy-peezy.

US savings rate fell to 3.6% in March. That's the lowest since fall 2022 (the ‘revenge spend’ era). And it's frankly one of the lower readings of all time.

Healthcare spending accounted for 47.2% of consumption growth in Q1.

Factory construction fell at a 22.8% rate in Q1, it's now down 21.7% from its peak in the 3rd quarter of 2024. Hard to find the manufacturing boom here.

Iran remains a clusterf*ck.

The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting rights Act and Louisiana wil redraw the its map to go for an all-Republican map to disenfranchise every Black voter in the state and eliminate both majority-Black districts, not just one.

Becoming increasingly clear that Pedo Don has f*cked America like it was a 13-year-old girl.
