Tidbits for the End of Summer
I've set a personal record for monthly billings this month so, I'm a bit bushed. I'll be making some major posts soon. In the meantime, here are some tidbits that will be of interest to regular readers:
One of the best sources for inside information on energy policy has called it quits. Policy Pete has hung 'em up. His last post should be at the link above. As far as I know, Pete -- whose pseudonym I have cursorily attempted to break through to no avail, but whose domain is owned by, Grand Finandels Trust, a company that seems to abide by the old WASP slogan, "A person's name should appear in the paper when they are born, when they marry and when they die." --is apparently a player in in the energy and financial sectors. Hopefully he will keep his archive up in perpetuity. It's links will remain a treasure trove of resources on energy policy. And for what it is worth in regards to my last post on the Magic Number for Peak Oil being 86.13mdb in 2006, Pete's pick is: 107mbd in 2017. You pays your money and you takes your chances.
If you are going to go and make one of the centerpieces of your political career anti-homosexuality and you have irresistible urges to engage in intercourse with members of the same sex you should probably consider a job in the private sector. What is it with these guys anyway?
If have that feeling, as I often do, that despite "reasonable" raises over the past six years or so you feel like you actually have less to spend, then you are probably right. Barry Ritholtz at the Big Picture wraps up some recent findings in Real Income Fails to Rise for Most of the 2000's. Remember, the Fed's inflation statistics measures inflation ex-inflation
Hang in there. A site redesign is in the works and a major post coming early next week.
