An actual distrubance in the force

This also sure sounds like this summer. What would the president of McDonald’s USA know though.

Are you saying the McDonald’s president can’t afford the brainpower?

We all know why.

I’m apparently down to my last gram of brainpower so I don’t know anything. :wink:

The following put these tariffs in perspective:

Our entire university system has been infiltrated. If it can happen at Stanford or UH it can happen at every university…it is.
We have let them getting away with it. Stealing intellectual properties should land you in jail. Instead you become a c.e.o. in china.
Our universities have taken the money and in return china has gotten the honey.

If they ran a test that would get you fired for drinking a beer in the previous 30 days, you’d get 100% refusal rate.

Norbert linked to St Peter HS above. It’s the second Catholic Career & Technical Education school in the country, after Mercy HS in Philadelphia.

St Peter is on OST near Scott Street, just down the road from UH. My son is wrapping up his freshman year there, and it’s been a great choice for us.

My son is planning to go to college, but many of his classmates are not, and they’ll get an excellent hands on technical education. St Peter is partnering with HCC for dual credit college credit, as well as hand on technical training at HCC South Campus on 288.

JPMORGAN: “… While we do not want to put too much weight on one month of data, today’s US retail sales report for April suggests that some of the expected payback from earlier strength may already be unwinding. … our estimates suggest that real goods spending tumbled -0.5%.”

I assume that will get a little better with recent changes but still a lot of uncertainty.

Doubtful as tariff related inflation is only just now starting to to hit retail. It will only get worse.
