Kakistocracy म्हणाले...: Here in boreal northern Wisconsin, we have the advantage of a long fall color season because of the sequential timing of color change. It starts in the third week of August with black ash and dogbane turning yellow. Then from early to middle September the maples turn into a riot of yellow, orange, red, and deep purple. The ash will have dropped their leaves and maples be past peak when the quacking aspen, the dominant deciduous tree turn our world yellow, and that is followed by tamarack, a conifer which turns orange and drops its needles. It all ends about the last of October, and the whole season of color is backed by the deep green of the spruce, fir, and pine trees.; २०/१०/२३, १०:४१ AM

The CPI on the Alternate Data Series tab here reflects the CPI as if it were calculated using the methodologies in place in 1980.
The chart is updated through May 2023, showing the official 4% inflation as reported by the US government (red line) versus inflation if calculated the same way it was calculated in 1980 (blue line.) Actual inflation is more than 12%, which is 3 times the official bogus government figure.
Remember 1982?
IF we STILL calculated CPI the way we did then.. Our inflation rate Right Now, would be dropping DOWN to the level it was in 1982; down from levels in 2022 that were MUCH higher

Rusty म्हणाले...: Your autumn is proceeding a lot like ours. Not a lot of colors yet. Not a lot of leaves on the ground. Even though it rained here last night.; २०/१०/२३, १०:५९ AM
Rusty म्हणाले...: The county put in a traffic circle where two congested roads meet. In doing so they bisected an abandoned tree nursury that was used off and on as a frisby golf course. It was a wonderful place to walk especially this time of year. The new road took out a nice stand of long needle pine trees that were just coming into their own as mature trees.; २०/१०/२३, ११:०३ AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves म्हणाले...: I love tree tunnels. I have a favorite tree tunnel that sits on mountain property my father once owned.
He sold it for 25% of it's value to a Chinese Con-artist who lives in Indianapolis. She re-sold it and pocketed 150K.

The tree tunnel is all aspen trees.; २०/१०/२३, ११:०६ AM

Kakistocracy म्हणाले...: Republicans must really dislike Jordan so much that they wanted to humiliate him once more.

Said it before and will say it again: Speaker requires a smooth, competent and reasonably diplomatic Washington operator who knows how the place works, inside and out. Even if they dislike it, they have to know the job in order to change (or even break) the job.

Jim Jordan has precisely none of the required qualities to do the gig, and some serious credibility questions of his own that he has consistently failed to confront and answer in a believable way.

If the bomb throwers continue to play the fool in front of the American public, I expect — and Republican business backers may well demand — that a sufficient number of brave, sanity-fringe GOP reach across the aisle and agree a limited agenda, just to keep the business of government operating, with Hakeem or a moderate GOP as speaker. Chaos — personified by Matt “Headroom”Gaetz — is bad for business.; २०/१०/२३, ३:१२ PM
