Nobody expects the Bearish Inquisition!

Our two main weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless unexpectedness Image
The expectation they refer to in the article was from Dow Jones, not the government. Whoever does it, economic forecasting is basically gypsies reading reading chicken entrails dressed up in a Box-Jenkins statistical model tuxedo
If you actually had a crystal ball that accurately predicted the economic future, you would STFU and quietly become an overnight zillionaire like Biff Tannen in Back to the Future II

Breaking news from the Caligula News Network
if I had known CNN was such a nonstop spankin' suckin' fuckfest I might have applied for a job there
I reckon it's tweets like these that explain why my phone isn't ringing off the hook with media job offers

Happy 136th birthday from #DavesCarIDService to the single greatest invention of all time: the car.
*the Benz Patent-Motorwagen, built by Carl Benz in 1885, patented Jan 29, 1886.

There is quibbling about what was the first car, and even the definition of car; self-propelled road vehicles date back to the 18th century, but Benz's patent car is widely accepted as Car Zero.
other contenders for the title: the Cugnot steam wagon (1769), used to tow artillery for the French army, and the Murdock steam carriage (1788), from England. By the 1830s there were a few dozen road steam carriages operating in England and Scotland.

Today's episode of #DavesCarIDService is brought to you by the all-new 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk -- the car that's irresistible to clowns!
Despite the restyling of Raymond Loewy's immortal '53 Starlight design and innovative clown ad campaign, by 1956 Studebaker was in an inexorable slide to doom.

Then, somehow, in 1961, their ad men declared MOAR CLOWNS.

Studebaker died in 1963.
*Studebaker's South Bend plant closed in 1963 after making 1964 car models, and a limited run of '65s were made in Canada. Shame, because Studebaker made some quite beautiful cars, like the 1953 Starliner and 1963 Avanti, both by Raymond Loewy Associates.

Our vigilant asset forfeiture crime fighters are now knocking off armored cars in broad daylight
In the next sequel to Ocean's 11, state troopers will just camp out behind all the Vegas casinos and confiscate all the cash drop armored cars. Because, like, casinos are illegal in Utah
What part of "San Bernardino Sheriff's Department" did you miss?

If the FBI was interested in enforcing fed law, they'd be raiding/shutting down California dispensaries; instead they seem happy just fencing loot stolen from them.

Fun fact: probably the main reason Tesla stock is valued so highly is that they're unencumbered by the century-old local dealer albatross that other car makers have wrapped around their necks.
Another fun fact: Teslas get serviced at Tesla-owned service locations, not Herm Shlobnik's Buick-Toyota-Tesla City
