Saturday was the third consecutive day of a relentless onslaught of rain, with a plume of precipitation expected to last through the weekend and only begin to taper off Monday. <br /><br />. . . . .<br /><br /> On Friday night, 400 to 500 people were evacuated in Brunswick County, North Carolina due to flooding.<br /><br />North Carolina officials reported about 10,000 power outages in the state mid-afternoon Saturday. So far, one North Carolina resident had been killed in the weather: A woman driving on Interstate 95 died when a tree fell on her car Thursday.<br /><br />In South Carolina, more than 4,700 power outages were reported.

These so-called prime-age individuals are less likely to be making retirement decisions than older individuals and less likely to be enrolled in schooling or training than younger individuals."<br /><br />This is actually spot on; it is also the only thing the Atlanta Fed does get right in its entire taxpayer-funded "analysis."<br /><br />And this is where the wheels fall off the Atlanta Fed narative. Because the regional Fed's very next sentence shows why the world is doomed when you task economists to centrally-plan it:<br /><br /> The decrease in labor force participation among prime-age individuals has been driven mostly by the share who say they currently don't want a job. As of December 2014, prime-age labor force participation was 2.4 percentage points below its prerecession average. Of that, 0.5 percentage point is accounted for by a higher share who indicate they currently want a job; 2 percentage points can be attributed to a higher share who say they currently don't want a job.<br /><br />And there you have it: there are nearly 100 million working-age Americans who could be in the labor force, but are not "mostly" because they don't want a job.<br /><br />Nothing about the lack of job demand as mega corporations continue to lay workers off in droves instead of hiring, instead using every last dollar of free cash flow to buyback their own stock to boost executive compensation instead of growing their company and hire more workers.<br /><br />Nothing about the collapse in small business formation - that driver of 80% of US employment - as firm exit rates are now greater than firm entry rates<br /><br />Nothing about the inability to get a job in a world in which the rest of<br />the global is lapping the US in educational and labor skills.<br /><br />Nothing about the US economy never having left the post-2008 depression where $4.5 trillion in Fed credit was created just to boost the S&P to all time highs and never making it to the actual economy (until the helicopters finally start paradropping of course)<br /><br />Nothing about millions of aging, 55 and over, Americans refusing to retire or quit their job simply because they have no return on their savings to fall back on thank to the Fed's ZIRP, thus keeping the labor pipeline clogged and preventing younger Americans from getting promoted and achieving better paying jobs.<br /><br />Nothing about a Millennial generation encumbered with $1 trillion in debt, that is so terrified of its job prospects and having to pay down its debt, it choose instead to keep rolling and piling on to this debt by remaining in college indefinitely<br /><br />Nothing about the perverted incentive structure of a welfare state that makes it more attractive to collect generous government handouts which end up punishing hard work.<br /><br />None of that.<br /><br />You see, it is because Americans "mostly don't want a job."

That's the funny thing about men - we think we can schmooze women, but they always know we're just bullshitting them to get what we want. They're not fooled, but are just as horny as we are! That's why we call it "gettin' lucky!"

By comparison, waves from biggest tsunami in modern times - the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami - were 100 feet tall.<br /><br />The apparent collapse occurred some 73,000 years ago at the Fogo volcano, one of the world's largest and most active island volcanoes. These days, it towers 2,829 meters (9,300 feet) above sea level, and erupts about every 20 years. [more]<br /><br />Tom<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
