Collegiality of SCOTUS Is Under Attack - and It's Dangerous

Mollie Hemingway, NYP

 

... Recently, however, the court’s famed collegiality has been strained by justices wondering out loud about how their colleagues got there. ...

The Treasury Secretary is such a kiss-ass and knows damn well that the Fed's so-called full employment mandate was a set of handcuffs put on the Fed in 1978

And why did the Congress do that to the Fed?

So the Congress could evade responsibility for high unemployment as well as for high inflation, that's why.

A bunch of cowards six ways to Sunday they are.

Besides, core personal consumption expenditures is the Fed's key metric, as everyone knows, and that is an inflation metric, not an employment metric. 

And The Humphrey-Hawkins Full Employment Act specifically recognizes that reducing inflation is the Fed's main job, actually mandating ZERO inflation, not 2% inflation as widely misinterpreted. 

Meanwhile there is another report of employment besides the total non-farm payrolls report which the Fed can consult, and it shows employment continues near all-time highs in July.

No change to DFF was the appropriate response of the Fed to persistent core inflation way above 2%.

Vietnam's Zero-Tariff Offer 'Means Nothing'

Peter Navarro, CNBC

12,000 jobs in October 2024 for Biden-Harris is almost as bad as zero jobs in August 2011 for Obama-Biden

Revisions to total nonfarm subtracted 112,000 jobs for August and September, too.

 

Democrats will just love, love, love this Zero Percent seasonally-adjusted month-over-month inflation chart, again lol

Hey, where'd that 9% inflation from June 2022 go lol?

When interest rates effectively went to zero in 2009 and stayed there, no one could figure out where the inflation was going lol

Everybody's making fun of Biden's claim that there was zero percent inflation last month, but they're all morons

 

Is China canceling Xi Jinping over Zero Covid Policy?

Backlash against the government’s harsh approach is fueling widespread disgust of China‘s leadership, including Mr. Xi who has boasted of taking direct control of anti-pandemic measures. An estimated 330 million Chinese are currently in health-related lockdowns in some 45 cities since March, even as restrictions on gatherings and travel in other developed countries are being lifted. ...

The party media organ People’s Daily on May 8 also failed to run one of the usual glowing photos of Mr. Xi on its front page. Instead, only Mr. Li, the premier, and another party leader were mentioned.

Two months ago, on the morning of March 10, Michigan still had zero cases of SARS-CoV-2

Today, May 10, Michigan has 46,756 cases and 4,526 deaths.

The case fatality rate of 9.68% is the highest in the nation.

In my county of Kent, barely 21% of the cases are Caucasian. By far Hispanic or Latino people have the most infections at over 35%, with African Americans having fewer cases than whites at 19.5%. Asians have fewer than 8% of total infections.

Frankly when I began posting about this in late January after following the news in China quietly for a few weeks prior to that I never imagined we'd be in this situation.

I felt certain America's health care system was too robust to let it happen.

Boy was I wrong. 

15% of those tested in the US have turned up positive so far, and of those 5.9% have died. Mind you, the average flu season in the US sees 8% of the population estimated to have been infected, with just 0.1% dying.

South Korea, on which I had hung my hopes as the proper comparison, has had just 1.6% test positive so far, with just 2.3% dying.

It's infection rate came way down from the 4.7% which obtained in early March because it employed extensive testing, quarantining (using phone apps to track, and gps wrist bracelets where necessary for scofflaws) and contact tracing. In other words, South Korea acted like Big Brother if you are an American libertarian.

South Korea's mortality rate came up dramatically from the 0.6% which obtained in early March, but of course it was still early in the outbreak. Needless to say, America's current rate of death at 5.9% is still 156% higher than South Korea's, despite the massive rise from 0.6%.

Cases in South Korea stubbornly remain below 11,000 in a country of 52 million (.02/million) because it determined to stop the spread.

In the USA we have .4/million and climbing (1900% more) because we are not a serious country.

We are a country filled with and run by childish people whose disregard for the health care system resembles nothing so much as the disobedient child's interminable disregard for a parent who never disciplines it.

Guess what? SARS-CoV-2 is coming for you. The beating will continue until morale improves.

On the morning of March 10, Michigan had zero cases of infection from China novel coronavirus 2019

Tonight, April 10, we have  22,646 cases and 1,280 deaths, and we're afraid even to go grocery shopping.

They are limiting entry at Sam's Club to 300 at a time, and customers there today are wearing homemade masks.

They finally had toilet paper. And chicken. Still no butter, though.

Happy Easter.

Trump's 15 coronavirus cases going to zero now number 1,015 through 3/10/20

There was zero quid pro quo in the Trump-Ukraine call, but plenty of it in the Biden video at CFR

Biden 2020 is irreparably damaged goods. People are asking if that wasn't Nancy Pelosi's goal all along, in order to get Biden out of the way for Elizabeth Warren.

Remember, Pelosi threw the US House public option plan under the bus in 2009 in order to get a win for Obama with the Senate's Obamacare in 2010. She's throwing the House's reputation under again for the higher good: A better candidate than creepy Uncle Joe.
