"US employers added 175,000 jobs in April, according to Labor Department data reported earlier this month. While that’s a sizable dip from March, the unemployment rate remains below 4%."
"That’s been good for consumer confidence; on Tuesday, the Conference Board reported that US consumer confidence rose in May for the first time since January. Meanwhile, economic growth this quarter is expected to surpass the same period from last year and, on Tuesday, the Nasdaq hit an all-time high."
"The Inverted Yield Curve Usually Predicts a Recession — Until Now." - Are we actually in a recession but they just aren't telling us? So what has been true since 1968 suddenly no longer applies?
"Biofuels can be considered carbon-neutral as they release fewer emissions than gasoline, and the CO2 they set off could be absorbed by the plants (corn, soybeans, sugarcane) that produce the fuel."
For those lacking a basic understanding of chemistry: CO2 is CO2 - it does not matter what generates it. Plants thrive on it. A bit of excess CO2 is not a concern (for me).
As an example of the fluff we are given:
"US employers added 175,000 jobs in April, according to Labor Department data reported earlier this month. While that’s a sizable dip from March, the unemployment rate remains below 4%."
"That’s been good for consumer confidence; on Tuesday, the Conference Board reported that US consumer confidence rose in May for the first time since January.

Idiotic statement of the day:
"Biofuels can be considered carbon-neutral as they release fewer emissions than gasoline, and the CO2 they set off could be absorbed by the plants (corn, soybeans, sugarcane) that produce the fuel."
For those lacking a basic understanding of chemistry: CO2 is CO2 - it does not matter what generates it. Plants thrive on it. A bit of excess CO2 is not a concern (for me).
