I had my 2 x M-Pox vaccines in Michigan back in 2022. I have no plans to do anything further unless experts suggest something more. Hoping this current outbreak in Africa doesn't spread further.

Meanwhile, yet another inflation report released today showing inflation continues to cool to 2.9% as of the end of July. This almost cements the likelihood for a September Fed rate cut.

For the post above...wash, rinse, dry, repeat. Regarding the point of jobs being shed due to automation...why do I keep seeing "Now Hiring" signs on most businesses all around Michigan. Businesses still need workers and can't find them. Eventually, they will have to automate where they can if we don't have enough workers to fill all the job openings.

No way he is 36. Closer to 46 I would say…not that he doesn’t look good. Incredible body.

lots of wages have gone up substantially in the last 4 years. Huge gains in the minimum wage in multiple states. Fast food workers making record wages even without changes in the official minimum wage in some states. Some Burger King restaurants in Michigan are paying $18/hour to flip burgers. They weren't getting paid anything close to that prior to COVID. UAW secured a record pay increase in the recently signed contract.

More inflation news to be released on Wednesday. Here's an interesting take on how consumers are refusing to pay today's higher prices and that is forcing some price decreases. The Free Market at work. Americans' refusal to keep paying higher prices may be dealing a final blow to US inflation spike WWW.YAHOO.COM The great inflation spike of the past three years is nearly spent — and economists credit American consumers for helping slay it.

Within the US, I would say San Diego has the highest percentage of attractive men. Lots of guys are into fitness and the large population of young military guys helps also. All races represented as well...so something for everyone. Plus the climate is the best!!

The key to arriving to Montreal by air on an international flight is to get in during the morning...before the flights from Europe start arriving. Immigration becomes crazy from 12:30 pm till about 6:00pm. I usually take the first flight from Detroit and get into Montreal at 11:30am. Straight through immigration and out the door.

Hire!

I'm 65 and I consider Grindr a complete waste of time...yet I can't delete it...LOL. From a young person's perspective, I totally get that the vast majority of them have zero interest in anyone over 40/50. I was exactly the same when in my 20's/30's...so I hold no hostility towards them at all. Yes there are exceptions...but they are rare. Back to the main topic. I'm currently in Toronto and I find the incidence in ads on Grindr is substantially higher than when I'm in the US. Every time I go to Grindr, I have to go through games/ads. Its absurd. Still not worth paying for it since it's mostly useless for me.

I visited Cockbar on Sunday night this past weekend. Cover was $5. The bar was not particularly crowded, so they only used the front larger room. The second smaller room was not used at all as far as I could tell. There were only four dancers working...two Latinos and two white guys. The two Latinos were in good shape but one of the white guys had a belly. All the dancers but one were pretty fem which is a complete turn-off for me. I would not describe any of the four as really hot. I had no motivation to do lapdances with any of them so all my money stayed in my pocket. The bartender was very friendly and I enjoyed talking with him. He got a big fat tip. I woudn't pass final judgement on Cockbar until I could visit on a Friday/Saturday. However, I would consider my Sunday visit a bust.

The name alone is enough to put me off from hiring him.

Well the Dow loved today’s inflation report by soaring 654 points. So yes…the crowd did go wild.

Yet another positive inflation report came out today. The market is cheering the news. Whilst the 2% inflation target hasn’t been hit yet, it is getting closer. I now expect rate cuts before the end of the year…maybe in September.

I liked Lou when he was strictly a business reporter. Then he went nuts and destroyed what could have been a great legacy.

...and now Burger King is getting in on the spicey offerings. Their new Fiery Menu was launched this month. The menu includes a hot Whopper, hot fries, and (believe it or not) a spicey strawberry Sprite drink. Yuck!!! At least you know in advance what you're getting as the items are advertised as being spicey. Can You Handle The Heat? Burger King® Introduces All-New Fiery Menu NEWS.BK.COM

Interesting read from NBC article. Former prosecutor on the case agrees with dismissal. When the prosecutor agrees with the dismissal there really isn't much else to say. Justice was served in this case. Onto the next.

He was always excellent on SNL as well. A well-rounded talented guy.

Hint: It was a politically-motivated witch-hunt against Baldwin.

TBH, I didn't follow the trial closely. I was aware that the death had occurred on the set of a Baldwin movie and that an amorer was part of the crew. In my mind, the fault here lies largely with the armorer. Her responsibility presumably is to ensure any gun scenes look realistic and that they are conducted safely. Most importantly, she should be sure no live ammunition is on the set. If she had done her job correctly, whether or not the gun trigger was pulled would be irrelevant. From the start, it seemed to be a pretty simple case to me that ended up being tainted by political motivations. Hannah Guttierez was found guilty previously and that is the right outcome in my view. I do hope additional safeguards are put into place so that a completely unnecessary death like this can be avoided in the future.

Some people just hate it when there is positive economic news showing the country is going in the right direction. They just want doom and gloom. Who knows what their motivations are for feeling this way. Fast food restaurants are falling over each other to offer new lower-priced items on their "value menu". Retailers are offering great new deals to get people back into stores. I know...it's just horrible 😂😂😂!

Another positive inflation report was released today continuing the downward trend. Great news! reuters.com WWW.REUTERS.COM

The shower side stage has been there for years. It didn’t get much use during the pandemic but pre-Covid it was used a lot on weekends. The duo shower shows by Thierry & JP was the stuff of legend.

LOL. Someone with an extreme political agenda needs to crawl back under that rock from which he came. He appears every few months to admonish other posters and then disappears for a while.
