    Personally I think one should wait for the inclement weather to actually arrive before panicking. But I’m very old fashioned.

    Due to inclement weather conditions, DCPS schools are closed on March 21. Students and teachers do not need to report to school. However, all essential personnel must report on time. Central Office employees should continue to monitor the media for DC Government decision.

    When a country (USA) is losing many billions of dollars on trade with virtually every country it does business with, trade wars are good, and easy to win. Example, when we are down $100 billion with a certain country and they get cute, don’t trade anymore-we win big. It’s easy!

    Even in a year of wonders, it’s still pretty remarkable that a bunch of Goldman Sachs alums are leading the nation into a “trade war.”

    This is a provocative argument from who suggests that as a nation we’re frittering away our time and attention on unproductive diversions. Certainly seems true in many financial markets, like fx, but he suggests a much wider rot.

    Bonus: One of the largest investors in the real estate fund that lent Kushner $184 million? The government of Qatar! So a foreign government--involved in a nasty cold war w/ one of our allies--lent massive $$ to a top WH official's family biz. Ok!

    Indeed. Just check out Governor Brainard‘ s topic for next Tuesday’s speech: “Navigating Monetary Policy as Headwinds Shift to Tailwinds.”

    I think is on to something here: "The emphasis is no longer on sustaining a healthy labor market. It’s on avoiding an 'overheated economy.'"

    Couples gathered in a rural church in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains today (some wearing bullet crowns) to bless their marriages and their AR-15s, which they called "rods of iron" meant to "protect God’s children." 17 were killed with an AR-15 at a school shooting 2 weeks ago.
