Bridge day today.
Not good.
I cannot believe the bad cards I get dealt ALL DAY LONG
No points, one point, 5 points, 3 points or maybe I will have both a Q and an J and have 3 points. And I cannot even relish in finishing with eh worst score and getting all the coins people put in when they go set. I take terrible cards and play too good to come in dead last.
Happened at last Thursday group. Happened Monday. Happened again Thursday (today on. When I play on line, I always suddenly face a weird distribution by my two robot opponents who always set me at least one trick on a hand that looks at first to be ICE cold, slam dunk makeable.
I am currently thinking about leaving the bridge groups and finding some group that plays strip poker.

But….they do not think it is important to tell us how much the bonus was.
I will have Cash Cow do some research to find out.
ALSO, Hancock county hired 140 more employees than the State School Aid Formula allows. The state pays for those employees that are WITHIN the SAF and allowed, but the county has to pay for any and all employees over what is allowable in the SAF.
My county, Berkeley, is about 500 employees over the SAF allowable. But we have an excess levy that provides paying for all those school employees.

Many of you may not know this, but we have multiple different metrics for US inflation: 1) Our custom US CPI index with custom categories and weights that differ from the BLS CPI, currently at 1.21% Y/Y. 2) Our US PCE index, where we apply the weights and categories of the BEA PCE indexes to our price data, currently at 1.46% Y/Y. 3) and a BLS CPI Comparison Index, where we take our price data and apply the BLS weights and categories. That last index is actually 0.51% Y/Y, right now, which is even lower than our custom US CPI index. If you apply the BLS CPI methodology to millions of price data points that we collect daily, you get near-zero inflation.

Good Inflation post, Tina. Although I’m still concerned about expanded money supply from possible DOGE rebate checks or other potential pre midterm action that may drive up inflation later this year if enacted, we haven’t seen any of the predictions about material price increases play out so far in the aggregate. There are a number of economists with theories as to why, but this one from late 2025 is intriguing and you might want to give it a read. I’m not fully sure I agree with all of it but it made for an interesting read. Search for economist Régis Barnichon and Aayush Singh’s study of trade and tariff policy (Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Working Paper 2025). After reviewing 150 years of data, across multiple nations, they found that tariffs resulted in downward pricing pressure, not higher (for various reasons discussed in the paper). Their conclusion clearly runs counter to standard trade model predictions a majority of pundits and talking heads regurgitated this past year, particularly in light of the significant reported tariff revenues collected to date . I think this study’s data showed a four percentage-point increase in the historical average tariff rate for a nation acted to reduce aggregate price inflation by about two percentage points on average. Their study showed that these results were consistent across time periods (pre-1913, interwar, post-WWII) and econometric methods. The study also warns that while tariffs initially and over the short and moderate term have not materially impacted or in fact even suppressed aggregate inflation (i.e suppliers and middlemen eating these costs as Jerome Powell discussed in November), over the longer term in some nations reviewed (not all), they eventually run the risk of fueling inflation due to supply side pressures and monetary policy complications,particularly if sustained and increased over time. Give it a read and see what you think. It’s definitely not a conventional view, but they do lay out the supporting data (which although I haven’t confirmed , none of the papers critics seem to dispute ).
