On your planks, no can do, I can’t be impressed with that number. At your age, 40ish as I recall, with your commitment to physical fitness and veganibalism, I’d think you can do 10% more with a bit more commitment and less chit chat about reality tv with the other gals at the gym. I’m guessing of course but I’m usually correct. On the bright side, I put on a few pounds these last few weeks and have some work to do, so while you’re upping your plank game I gotta cut back on the sweets. Everybody wins. Be careful on the rocks. Leh-nerd: “Maybe the storm is coming, I guess we’ll see.” Kay: “Maybe. If Trump ends up going full TACO Tariff Mode, then the storm won’t come. Otherwise, I anticipate a Q3 trickle, a Q4 storm, and a 2026 Q1 deluge.” Leh-nerd: “At your age, 40ish as I recall…” Kay: “WRONG. Late 20’s AND I’m regularly told that I look early 20’s. How dare you.” Leh-nerd: “…and less chit-chat about reality tv with the other gals at the gym.” Kay: “WRONG. I don’t watch reality television, I don’t converse with others when I work out, and I rarely use the gym. My core workouts are done at home and during weekly yoga sessions.

Don’t even get me started on all of our past PPP discussions, Leh-nerd…anthropogenic climate change, Israel, progressive income tax policies, Nazi socialism, French abortions, eastern Ohio train derailments, Marx’s Labor Theory of Value, MAGA whataboutisms, ethical veganism, chic cosmopolitan hippy fashion aesthetics, etc… Your PPP posting resume is a multitude of abject FAILURE.” Leh-nerd: “…I gotta cut back on the sweets.” Kay: “WRONG. Your body is sloppy, sad, disappointing, gross, downright frightening to any neighborhood children, and overall visually affronting to all those who care about you because you obstinately consume meat and dairy.” Leh-nerd: “Be careful on the rocks.” Kay: “WRONG. Your perfunctory and borderline insincere words of caution have been deemed too trite to be of any practical use to La Commie Kay. My indomitable core muscles will keep me plenty safe on the rocks.

It's just that at times, you present in a fashion similar to some middle aged helicopter parent reaching out to the coach because they noticed little Kayter (beloved only child of Kay and partner Peter) may have suffered over-rotation in right field in sequential innings vis a vis Karl Marx theory of baseball equity and adjudication. As to the rest...sometimes 'be careful on the rocks' really just means what it means. If you prefer I can offer "DANCE AROUND THEM BOULDERS LIKE A DRUNKEN MONKEY--SAFETY EQUIPMENT IS FOR ZIONISTS" . 🕊️ 1
Wolfgang Posted August 4 Posted August 4 On 8/2/2025 at 8:15 PM, ComradeKayAdams said: I don’t think Powell’s feelings are at all the issue here. I think Powell is correctly and dispassionately assessing that Trump’s tariff wars are going to lead to high inflation over the next 6+ months, and that lowering interest rates will only worsen the situation. CPI and PCE metrics definitively show a recent uptick in inflation rates, with this trend holding** for all the core** inflation data (i.e., minus the food and energy prices). We know that the burden of a tariff hike must percolate down to any of three places: the foreign country (exporters), domestic businesses (importers), or the consumers. We can deduce from economic data that businesses, to date, have predominantly incurred the burden in the face of this year’s tariff volatility. We can also assume that businesses won’t stand for reduced profit margins much longer. So as the August tariff hikes kick in and stabilize, it’s reasonable to surmise that overseas shipping and other transportation logistics will become the main delay in observed price surges. Since lowering interest rates will hurt everyday Americans and since raising interest rates will also hurt everyday Americans but in a different way, maybe the best option would be to have rational and stable tariff policies?? If Trump wants budgetary revenue, then raise taxes on rich people. If Trump wants to bring quality manufacturing jobs back home, then spend on the necessary infrastructure and strengthen collective bargaining power in the U.S. ** - Speaking of cores and holds, I’m now up to a max time of 3:08 on my plank holds! Impressed?? You better be… My super strong core muscles assist me on all my rock climbing adventures! No... We are not going to protect trade routes for free anymore... Your point of view on this is antiquated... 1
