Thanks for linking to Jon Stewart's righteous indignation. When CSPAN tweets it must be something notable.

As for the R-word (recession), my morning channel surfing turned up stories about the rising costs of pop-entertainment tickets (Hundred-plus $), stylish clothes and other luxury goods. Recessions remain a First World problem while much of the world stands at the edge of death by starvation and/or heat resulting from climate change. We remain comfortably distant from the existential threats noted in yesterday's video about The Forgotten March.

i will sound like a prude here but……..I very much appreciate Mr Kunce’s service to our country. However as he is now running for a seat in the US senate, I would hope his public use of such foul language will subside

After the pandemic, the GDP percent of growth skyrocketed to record levels due to pent up demand. Doesn’t it just make sense that that rate of growth could not continue forever?

Thinking about recession and record profits etc. Having lived through recessionary times I can say that the present day doesn’t look like those bad times at all.

It’s a little thing but during the Fourth of July in our little town people spends hundreds and hundreds of dollars on fireworks while complaining in the newspapers and in coffee shops about the price of food and gas. The roads and campgrounds are clogged with people both in and out of state. Yellowstone is a zoo and I don’t mean the wildlife. Restaurants jammed and housing, commercial construction going gangbusters.

It doesnt make sense.

Unless of course this is the big breath before the dive.
