    Rumor is the rates are staying the same, but JayPow is holding his finger on the trigger with the threat of raising them in Nov or Dec should inflation get out of hand. BTW, I noticed Biden bought oil for the SPR at almost $100Barrel...having sold it
    off for much less. Funny how Biden buys it nearly at $100 whereas Congress refused to let Trump fill up the SPR at $20/barrel during the 2020 crisis. So, ridiculous the games they played with Trump that directly hurt this country.

    And, I have no problem with fast food workers making $20/hour. The assholes that abuse those workers deserve to pay more because of it and who the hell would even work those jobs in CA for $20/hour? You still aren't affording life in CA at $20/hour.

    No, the slots are fine. I just don't make $20 an hour.

    Btw, you were right, interest rates on hold.

    Ya, I pay way too much attention to this shit. Now if only metals go up in October like I planned. This entire next year will be a total shitshow. I had a dream that Trump got a ceremonial conviction on a single charge and all the libtards were
    enraged when he kept running and then Soros sent in the anarchist riot squads to burn cities in faux protest.

    I have blamed slavery, too. And, since we're always on a discussion of the SP500 results long term....the price of a slave back then was about $1000...imagine if you took that $1000 and invested it in the SP500 what it'd be worth today.

    The plantation owners were never compensated for their losses,
    after emancipation. Don't they deserve reparations?

    I refer you to the fifth amendment -

    If anyone pays reparations, shouldn't it be the countries in Africa who sold their citizens into slavery?

    Bingo! Somehow, the "brothers" never mention the fact that their grandpas were kidnapped and sold by their cousins' grandpas back then. You know how it is, with inconvenient facts -
    (where would Lebron James be, without the sugar cane plantations?
    Is he eligible for a payout?)

    And don't forget the arabs, who were there before the white man.
    Shouldn't they cough up? The Saudi royals can't afford it? They're
    tapped out by the mortgage payments on their swiss chalets?
