re: PPI up 1.4%

With the jobs numbers holding steady, is it time to raise rates yet?



Rates should have been higher for the last 30 years- but no politician has the guts to say it or try to encourage it.
Odysseus performs a blood ritual in the underworld where he meets his mother, Achilles, Ajax, Agamemnon, and others. He must seek Tiresias to receive a prophecy in order to return home.

Achilles delivers one of the most hard hitting lines of either work during this encounter. She is very likely playing Achilles in this scene and it’s absolutely retarded that is happening.

And the more I hear about this movie and see it’s 250 million+ budget- I’m beginning to believe this one doesn’t return a profit

Also I may be in the minority here- but when doing an adaptation of classical material, it helps to not use modern American accents. There is a reason a classic British accent is used so often for material like this- it just works. The modern American accents and vernacular, the Asian, sub-Saharan, Indian, and Latino faces, and from what I’ve read possibly even trap music- will take anyone who actually enjoys being immersed into a late Bronze Age era completely out of it. I’m really bummed about this one. I love the work and Nolan. I’ve read or listened to multiple translations of it, outside of one in particular (the one Nolan allegedly leaned on) they all bring something different and special to the experience.

Maybe he will make a movie about the Zulu wars and cast Brad Pitt to play the Zulu king next.
I always liked Funny Farm- and tend to use the dog situation in that movie as an example often.

Agree with him here.

But he’s also maybe the best example of lucking into being a billionaire, outside of inheritance, as there ever has been
I don’t trust him at all.

I think after the Trump era is gone he will be back to his gang of six immigration policies and right back to the neocon wing of the gop.

He’s basically getting the neocon agenda anyway right now.

I’ve never been less excited for a Nolan movie.

Costumes, armor in particular, not even close to period accurate.

The palace looks grimy and dirty- maybe this is explained as the suitors destroying the Ithaca palatial complex- but why is there a recent trend of showing everything historical as dirty? This would have not been the case in Mycenaean palaces. They would have been beautiful, well kept, and clean likely up to the collapse.

But the worse sign is when I heard Nolan state he leaned heavily on the most atrocious and what should be criminal translation of a work that has proven over millennia to be outstanding and in no need of any “modern updates”

Zendaya as Athena is ridiculous. Helen of Troy being black is just stupid. Tom Holland as Telemachus looks to be a good choice.

Skipping this one
That would be a disaster for Disney.

First release in I can’t remember how long and it opens to less than Solo.

And that’s a Memorial Day four day weekend projection

She proves the rule- 99.9999% of female comedians are awful.
Classical, gothic, art deco—- anything other than another square building with no character.

It’s depressing every time I see a new building going up. The same box shape with bland colors. I understand it’s simply cheaper that way and don’t blame a company for financial responsibility.

But it also sucks.

No. Maybe it was pre Mycenae Crete or Thera, although Plato describes it as being beyond the Pillar of Heracles which would geographically disqualify those two.

Maybe it was Tartessos.

But almost certainly didn’t exist- it was a philosophical tool used my Plato
Went see Hail Mary for the third time because the kids wanted to- noticed during the He Man trailer that his pronouns are on his name placard sitting on desk.

Is anyone asking for this movie? This one sees so out of place.

The budget was hefty as well. Maybe I’ll be proven wrong, but I think this one loses money
Tulsi- the person who has never pretended to be anything other than what she says she is

Whether you like what she believes or not- she has far more integrity and honesty than Thune and it isn’t remotely close.
I don’t really get why people are losing their minds over this.

He’s still clearly right-leaning on the major issues facing EU nations. He’s even looking to scrap his predecessor’s work visa program—which is already pretty restrictive as it stands.

Yes, voters wanting a change after the same leadership for years is completely normal. But let’s not pretend this is some massive ideological shift—policy-wise, he’s not that far off from the guy who just got voted out.

The one real concern, in my view, is euro adoption. That’s where this actually matters. The downsides outweigh the benefits, and the fact that he supports it should raise some serious questions.
It’s a sham. I can tell you that every single person I deployed with in our platoon- is rated for PTSD

Its fraud plain and simple
