If he doesn't pause rates today, insane volatility will ensue.

absolutely wild chart

[Spracne]

I'd be interested to see the housing and student loan service charts, if they exist.

[steve dave]

grapes of wrath, not just a children's book about sucking on some ladies hogs for calories

[mocat]

it looks like they are just not counting processed food

[Stupid Fitz]

absolutely wild chart

that is crazy. So many takeaways. The main one being that we are way fatter than back then and most likely eat way more food.

[john "teach me how to" dougie]

Does that chart include restaurants/fast food, or just grocery store purchases?

[steve dave]

BLS has separate "entertainment" and "alcohol" categories as well as a "misc" category but no specific category for restaurants. I'd assume it's in Food but didn't dig into it to confirm or anything.

[Justwin]

There are "Food At Home" and "Food Away From Home" subcategories in the Food category.

we do eat a bit more, but we've kinda always been deep in the trough compared to other countries.

Probably has to do with the Artisan farm to table culture we have fostered

been binging Andrew bourdain's shows on Max.

It's insane to watch him eat around the world and then come to an american city to eat.

the portions, and ammount of processed crap from the american cities compared to everywhere else is nuts.

Eh. Understand the technical terminology. Hard to get onboard with looming crap storms.

I glanced at my 401k recently and saw my portfolio was up like 16% YTD.  That seems pretty good for basic bitch vanguard SP 500 stuff. In college I was obsessed with stocks and now it bores me to tears.

When does it stop being a bear market rally and just become a bull market?

Officially when it was up 20% from its recent low. Early June sometime.

Right. I meant when does IPA4Me start calling it a bull market instead of a bear market rally.

[steve dave]

Oh, sorry
