This time in Montana, and the cargo was beer.

When gas and food prices skyrocket, it takes a little time for the poors to blow through their savings, and credit, before they simply need to stop buying stuff.

I'm still predicting a big crash.in the next couple years.

IKEA expanding into 8 more US locations.

I like walking around IKEAs.

Quick question though, does your IKEA also have tons of Asian people and lesbians or is that a local thing for us?

The poorest millennials have less wealth at age 35 than their baby boomer counterparts did, but the wealthiest millennials have more. Income inequality is driven by increased economic returns to typical middle-class trajectories and declining returns to typical working-class trajectories.
I couldn't get their data since it was paywalled.

Wow.

Fed says "no more raises, 3 cuts coming next year." 10 yr bond has plummeted to 4% (which is below it's long term average).

https://www.cnbc.com/bonds/ Bond yields cratering in the 1yr+ horizon.
