There won't be any left. Too many people, too few Bambis. They will be gone within a year or two.
By beans and rice to go with the long pork.

Fed Governor Waller wants ‘several months’ of good inflation data before lowering rates
Waller did not provide an indication for his expectations on the timing or extent of cuts and said he will “keep that to myself for now” on what specific progress he wants to see on future inflation reports. The FED Reserve people are speaking today... They are waffling.
Fed’s Mester says forecast of 3 rate cuts this year is now probably too many
Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester on Monday suggested she was thinking about backing away from her prior expectation that the U.S. central bank will cut interest rates three times this year.inflation is too high so they can't cut rates not to mention if they do, housing pricing explodes up again and renting shoots north costing more. Fed should just raise 50bps and the let the dust settle
It's looking like the FED is just going to do nothing and allow inflation to tame inflation. Going to be a hell of a crash landing in the end.
agree, they don't want to do anything and I hope the numbers come in hotter because the sooner they raise the faster the this stops.
They certainly have the rest of the world markets fooled.
Inflation is outpacing retirement income..... Unsustainable.

Welcome to my world..... LOL
Might as well ad this: Get out the scissors and cut all those charge cards in half.
people spend too much money, that is without a doubt. We spend too much, pay too much, think about tomorrow less and that needs to change
What America needs is higher inflation for a longer period of time........ That's going to be the path that leads to deflation.
Kind of like being stung by a jelly fish and finding someone to piss on the area the jelly fish stung.
Inflation = it will only sting for a little while.

Walgreens announces price cuts on 1,300 items amid ongoing consumer spending fatigue
May 31 (Reuters) - U.S. inflation tracked sideways in April, a worrying sign for the Federal Reserve that suggests the elevated pace of price increases could last longer than expected and casts doubt on how soon the central bank will be able to cut interest rates.
The report from the Commerce Department on Friday also showed tepid consumer spending, a wrinkle that could help the Fed's inflation fight or cause jitters if the economy cools too quickly.
"The longer you get the market inflation lingering close to 3%, the harder it is for the Fed to make a case for cutting rates. Certainly there's nothing in these numbers that advances the Fed's rate cutting idea," said Josepth Trevisani, a senior analyst at FXStreet.

The FED Reserve is America's Dead horse.
The Tribal wisdom of the Indians, passed on from generation to generation, says that, “When
you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount.” However, in
government, education, and in corporate America more advanced strategies are often
employed, such as:
• Buying a stronger whip.
• Changing riders.
• Appointing a committee to study the horse.
• Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride dead horses.
• Lowering the standards so that the dead horses can be included.
• Re-classifying the dead horse as living-impaired.
• Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.
• Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.
• Providing additional funding and/or training to increase dead horse’s performance.
• Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse’s
performance.
• Declaring that the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower
overhead and, therefore, contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the economy
than do some other horses.
• Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses. And of course….
• Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.

An inflation gauge closely tracked by Federal Reserve rises at slowest pace this year
When the Government comes out with inflation numbers... All I can do is laugh.
Being on a fixed income forces me to run my own inflation numbers.
I shop once a month for most of my groceries. With all the new scanners, prices are no longer on the items. So, I write the price on them when they go in my basket. Below is an example. Same can of store brand peanuts, bought one month apart.
Last month they were $2.56. This month they were $2.63... That would be a price increase of 2.7% in one month.
Over 12 months the increase would mount up to be 32% (+ / -).
No one is coming to save us.

2.56 and 2.63, I see it, and here I am thinking that is COAL, and then, what is it on a can for, is he sticking his loaded cartridges in a peanut can???
That is the cost per unit that I wrote on the can. If everything in your pantry would have the price on it, you would certainly see "inflation" right before your very eyes.
My ammo also has the prices written on containers. I can see inflation (buying power of the USD) very easily without dragging out a calculator.
Take a paint stick and write the purchase price under the hood of your vehicle... Another good place to track inflation.
Prices are being hidden to appease the average, dumb American.
Lowering the COLA is the Governments goal.
Dip the neck in peanut butter. Gives much better ES, and if you pair it with Vihtavuori, it gives off a wonderful scent when you fire it.
'Is the Fed even driving the bus?'
STORY: Lynch said that deflationary forces of years past, such as "global supply chain expansion" and "freer trade" have been replaced by "regional conflicts flaring up" and a "trade war" - things that are "inflationary in nature.""And so one of the concerns that we have", added Lynch, "is...
start writing down the date, next to price.
It will make you sad, but at least you will know the truth. And keep a can with date and price from 4 years ago. The Media won't tell you this info
