Damn. It's not surprising, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.


Yea and the way he was still so active, I hadn’t reached the point where I thought I had probably seen him for the last time, even given his age.

One of the all time great songwriters. He was still performing recently and sounded great.

Fare thee well.

Hard to imagine there was still not significant value left to maintain a firm that with that many offices and employees that services many different industries, at least according their website. Like others have said, they have been making a bunch of moves indicative of a firm that was still growing, not about to fall apart.

The Fed’s favored inflation gauge — called the personal consumption expenditures index, or PCE — climbed to a 2.8% annual pace last quarter, up from 2.1% in the second quarter.



This wasn't in bold, but matters more to the average person.

Still great, but I miss the creepy baby on the old label.

only red flag I see is you constantly lowering asking price. Tells me you’ll do it again


WSJ just had an article about this. Setting the price too high to begin with only to start cutting prices can backfire.

With that said, we had a weird rotation with our bigs and seemed lost. I think the game against DePaul was partly because our rotation shortened.



The rotation was going to need to shorten at some point. I feel for Reed, but we still have Nwoko, Sutton, and Miller as bigs. And from what I've seen, Tamba can guard any position.

They both have the personalities of a fig newton.
Memphis fans are going to happy to see him go. What a blehhhhhh hire.

Dude has never even made it to his conference championship game after inheriting a well-oiled group of 5 machine from Mike Norvell.

They are 4-4 in conference this year and lost to UAB, a team literally trying to kill each other

joined by jody stephens last night in memphis for a big star cover frick yeah


Pretty cool that they have been doing locally inspired covers during the encore at each stop. The New Orleans ones were r&b/funk classics and they nailed them.

Houston got a Beyoncé cover lol.

The graph I previously posted is based on BLS real wage statistics, which doesn't have those categories stripped out. So yes, tweet by Paul Krugman indicating what the CPI would be without those categories doesn't dispute my claim at all. In fact, the tweet that was shared even had a little disclaimer on the bottom as to why it is misleading and gave the headline CPI number.
quote:

I can include food as 0.05% of the weighted average and voila, it's "included" as part of the CPI.



Cool - but it is more like 14%. The calculations are all transparent and published in detail.
One politically-biased economist posting a cherry-picked graph on twitter for argumentative purposes has nothing to do with how the BLS measures real wage growth. Food, energy, shelter, and used cars are all included by BLS.

Inflation isn't bad when you take out the stuff that people need!



What do you think they are taking out?

People don’t buy energy?



Energy is part of headline inflation which is factored into real wage growth.
quote:

Well considering they alter the formula for the CPI to fit their narrative, I agree



No, they do it based on changes in consumer behavior. You're looking at a basket of goods for things that consumer actually buy.
