“From standard lead free solutions to electronic defeating loads (coming soon), and extended range platform, we have the products to defend against the most sophisticated tech! As responsible drone owners ourselves, we recognize the largest threat to responsible drone fliers are irresponsible drone fliers! Drone Munition is also a fantastic hunting load for small game, waterfowl, and turkeys!”

Orders for U.S. durable goods fizzle again

Oh yeah. Tell me about it! I don't sell the durable goods...I sell to the manufacturers and business has been flat or down since around April. And it wasn't great before then. I only hope I can stick around long enough to see Trump elected.

104 million working age people on the bench. 213 working age people in the US. Say a full 25% are either students who do not have a job, or people who have retired early.

79 million/213 million = 37% real unemployment (on a very optimistic basis).

Obama better get on his bony, diseased knees and kiss the keester of WalMart’s CEO for hiding his breadlines for him.
