***Biden wins presidency-Boy are we toast***

[CountValentine]

How do you use so little NG? Were you on vacation?

No, summer months NG cost (not delivery) is $10-$12 at current rates. I expect to pay $60-$70 more in the winter months at these rates. Only 2 in the household.

ETA: Looks like high months is 160 therms compared to 10 now.

So since Biden won and energy prices rose can we change the thread title to "Boy don't expect to be toasty this winter"?

Maybe just make more toast to stay warm?

The proof is in the numbers!!!

President Joe Biden‘s approval rating in the past month has skyrocketed, jumping six points after massive successes in getting his legislative agenda passed. At 44%, Biden’s approval rating is now higher than the approval ratings of Donald Trump (41%), Barack Obama (43%), Bill Clinton (39%), Jimmy Carter (43%), and Ronald Reagan (41%) at this point in their presidencies.

Reuters: Biden approval falls, holding near low end of his presidency, Reuters/Ipsos finds.

Despite the headline, this looks like a very good report other than the downward revision of previous months.

I'm happy to see labor force participation return to March numbers at 62.4%. There are more people employed this month than last month even if ignoring revisions to previous months. Would like to see LBPR grow another percent to get back to pre-covid. Will help the economy and inflation.

They knew Biden would give the order to blow them out of the water, so they released them.

Looks like we are getting golden brown toast instead of burnt toast.

Inflation drops to 8.3% and for the month was up 0.1%. If this two-month trend continues inflation will be no issue.

No the market dropped because they believe interest rates are going up.
Do you want to use the market as goalpost when CPI comes out every month or are you another fish out of water?

They believe interest rates will go up because inflation is still out of control.
