I’m confused. Yesterday the Atlanta Fed came out w/2Q predictions of over 4% GDP, now 1St Q numbers are final and it’s TWO PERCENT. Maria has Greenspan on and altho I can’t understand everything he’s saying (weak voice) he seems to be predicting around 1% in 2019-20 and it has something to do w/demographics.

Rosenstein is channeling Sgt Shultze, “I know noting, nooooting.”
I just found out about this and wanted to be sure to pass it on. It may not apply to you based on your circumstances, but if it does, it’s free money.
ever heard about ‘restricted application’ social security benefits? Me neither. Here’s a write-up on the rules

Just purchased another house. for my daughter to come home to from overseas where she’s been working for the past 2 years. Had to empty ALL accounts even down to $32 bucks here and $46 bucks there in sundry accounts to pay off credit card to zero. Have to raise a mortgage and pull out $600k from an investment account tomorrow. It’s all come down to hours to get everything in the right account at the right time. Haven’t sailed this close to the wind for 25 years and it’s a bit of a thrill. Talked to the bank yesterday and raised a part mortgage and part low interest account to act as a buffer for the next 6 months until there daughter can sell her overseas property and repatriate the cash! No problems for the bank as there are two high value zero mortgage properties in the mix as well as 80% equity in this new property.
That’s what you do for family I guess. We’ll rent it out and get some income for the next 6 months whilst servicing the mortgage easily. Still going and borrowing money is a bit of a thrill after all this time!
HEH!

You must still comply with the law even if it is impossible to do so. (If you were wondering how they could try to incarcerate all of us, here’s your first clue)
Gun manufacturers must do their best to comply with a California law requiring new models of semiautomatic handguns to imprint their bullets with identifying micro stamps so police can trace them, the state Supreme Court ruled Thursday, rejecting the companies’ arguments that the law should be overturned because compliance is technologically impossible.

@PeteWilliamsNBC on the weapon used in the newsroom shooting: a shotgun is like a backwards funnel, you don’t have to have direct aim to hurt a lot of people. It was purchased legally

Newspaper reporter resigns after wrongly claiming Annapolis shooter wore MAGA hat
Folks, My 21-year career as a ‘journalist,’ a fancy term that makes my skin crawl, frankly, came to a screeching halt yesterday with one stupid, regrettable tweet,” he wrote. “Can’t take it back; wish I could. My sincere apologies to all good, hardworking reporters and to POTUS supporters.”

If this had been an honest mistake, it would have resulted in a correction. So his editors believe he knowingly lied. Good example for your kids, asshole.
