Trump and the fed
Had the Fed not mistakenly raised interest rates, especially since there is very little inflation, and had they not done the ridiculously timed quantitative tightening, the 3.0% GDP, & Stock Market, would have both been much higher & World Markets would be in a better place!

Hindsight is 20-20. It’s not clear if additional stimulus would grow the economy or just lead to inflation or excessive risk taking by investors and more dubious loans and financial scamming to make a profit in such a low interest environment.
One of the things I’ve learned growing older is that you should consider what experts say, and while they may not always share your interest, you should listen carefully to what they have to say as they have more experience than you do.
Furriers Protest Against Proposed Ban On Fur Sales In NYC – CBS New York
They chanted “Save our jobs! Save our jobs!” Dozens of people who work in the New York City fur industry came to City Hall to tell Council Speaker Corey Johnson to “fur-get” about his proposed ban on the sale of clothing and accessories made of animal skin with hair, fleece, or fur attached.
“We’re here to say we’ve had enough. Enough of the attacks. Enough of the attacks on our families,” said Brooklyn furrier Steven Lilikakis.
The furriers cast the argument in stark economic terms, pointing out that 98 percent of the industry business owners said they would move out of New York City if the ban were to go into effect, taking 1,100 jobs, costing New York City $3.3 billion in revenue in the next decade and leaving lots of empty storefronts.
“I’ve been in the fur business about 35 years now. It’s my livelihood, and now people are trying to take my livelihood,” said fur worker Geoffrey Geters.
“I’m a single dad… this is how I make my income,” said fur stylist Messiah McNeir.

Road paint facts you never knew you wanted to know – Lehigh Valley Business Cycle
According to PennDOT spokesman Ron Young, PennDOT goes through 1.6 million gallons of paint on road projects statewide every year. As Young pointed out, you could fill two Olympic-sized swimming pools with that much paint and still have about 300,000 gallons left over. All that paint can cover 114,000 miles. To put that in perspective, the Earth has a circumference of 24,901 miles.
Finding the Right Balance with Social Media.
I continue to work to fine the right balance between social media and my personal life. I no longer look at social media while I am home or at work, and only check it once a day or less, mostly to keep up with what my clients are posting on their accounts. I’ve decided to continue to occasionally update my Facebook Page, but that’s no longer a top priority of mine — I update things on an ad-hoc basis. I do continue working on my blog, but that’s more of a personal space that I control not full of flashy headlines, click bait, and overly ideological media.
Fur is a natural, renewable and sustainable resource – by Fur is Green
Fur is a natural, renewable and sustainable resource. That means we only use part of what nature produces each year without depleting wildlife populations or damage the natural habitat s that sustain them. The goal is to maintain long-term ecological balance.
In nature, each plant and animal species generally produces more offspring than the land can support to maturity. Like other species, we live by making use of part of this surplus that nature creates. We also have a responsibility to protect the wilderness areas that provide these valuable resources. Modern conservationists define this as the "sustainable use" of renewable resources.
