De-Flation...*

Inflation will stay low.

Agricultural commodity prices, excluding meats, have crashed. Corn, wheat and soybean prices have plummeted on expectations of bumper crops around the world particularly in the United States. Heavy rains in the growing regions have altered the outlook for drought-stricken areas (except California) and have led to a major decline in prices.

Energy prices have also dropped from recent highs close to  $90 a barrel to $50. Natural gas prices have slumped to below $4 per thousand BTUs. Milder summer weather, and burgeoning supplies of natural gas, have caused prices to crash. 

Interest rate and the slope of the yield curve. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note is below 2.5%, as the yield curve is flattening.  Wage inflation, is also a non-starter. Wages are rising at a 2 percent to 2.5 percent annual rate, hardly the stuff of wage-price spirals. 

The velocity of money, from the St. Louis Fed, is near zero. It needs to accelerate markedly to make the case that policy-inspired inflation is on the horizon.   [August 15, 2014]

This may be coming to an end, except the oil.  Just a thought.

Irma impacts the East and the West coasts of Florida.

Subway...

Ready for the next Pandemic.. May be.

DACA...

The problem with this program is the  traffickers who buy and sell, convince poor people to ship kids out of their homes, families, fathers, mothers and siblings and leave them in the borders of the USA.
Traffickers and migrants are all over the world and in the process many migrants died. 
Just a thought.

MisGuided...*

A Kentucky county clerk who has become a symbol of religious opposition to same-sex marriage was jailed after defying a federal court order to issue licenses to gay couples.

She was ordered detained for contempt of court and later rejected a proposal to allow her deputies to process same-sex marriage licenses that could have prompted her release.

Instead, on a day when one of Ms. Davis’s lawyers said she would not retreat from or modify her stand, Judge David L. Bunning of United States District Court secured commitments from five of Ms. Davis’s deputies to begin providing the licenses. At least two couples planned to seek marriage licenses.

“The court cannot condone the willful disobedience of its lawfully issued order,” Judge Bunning said. “If you give people the opportunity to choose which orders they follow, that’s what potentially causes problems.”

Is that really religious opposition?  If this was mother Teresa may be.       Just a thought.

Dance...

Thinking outside the Box is a metaphor that means to think differently, unconventionally, or from a new perspective. This phrase often refers to novel or creative thinking.

The term is thought to derive from management consultants in the 1970s and 1980s challenging their clients to solve the "nine dots" puzzle, whose solution requires some lateral thinking.^[5]

This phrase can also be found commonly in dance, as encouragement to move creatively, beyond simple, geometric box steps and their basic variations, to literally step outside the box into more complex patterns of expression.
