Good news for workers, business etc.
Perhaps bad news for investors waiting around for a slowdown to cause the Fed to pivot.

At this point, for people who live in Portland, the van abductions feel like a bad memory, a piece of weird local news lost in the mists of the terrible year that was 2020.

Let Biden be Biden!
His off-script stuff is better politics than what's on the prompter, I think because he's older and worse-educated than his staff putting him closer to the electorate.

I was stressed last week so I over-indulged in late-night snacks, but I guess some people have a different approach.

Cities should address their fiscal issues by allowing for unlimited construction of the vacant luxury high-rises owned by foreign speculators that I'm always hearing there is unlimited demand for.
Use the extra tax revenue to cut sales tax and improve city services.

It's real. The world might be heading toward eradicating malaria.
The most promising inoculation comes from the team that created the @AstraZeneca covid vaccine.

The sniggering here is so revealing. Red state Americans literally do not realise how much more violent their states are, certainly than New York and the West Coast
