Imputations are critical to BLS surveys, response rates are pretty abysmal. For Consumer Expenditure it’s 40% www.bls.gov/osmr/respons...

Asking and then not getting enough responses so adding in what the models say should be the right answer… (this was from 2009, the probably has gotten way worse)

Prices were down, and April was the month tariffs were announced so people went out and stocked up.

You know you can look things up on your own: “Bain's U.S. Consumer Pulse Wave survey conducted in May found 80% of Americans are still trying to spend less, while 28% are actively cutting back on grocery spending.” www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/07/...

“Sit down and have a conversation with your child. Tell them that the school or other parents have reported their aggressive behavior, that you love them no matter what, that their behavior has to change, and that you support the school’s punishment and will not tolerate this behavior.

Explain that bullying in any form causes pain to others. Let them know that name-calling, teasing, hitting, pushing, starting or spreading rumors, cyberbullying and all other forms of bullying are wrong, and not acceptable behavior.

Let your child know that you will help them to change the behavior and correct the situation. Ask them how they think the bullying could stop. What do they think has to change in order for them to change?

Depending on the age of the child, they may not know any better. Young children, especially, need to be told that hurting another child is not acceptable.”

Brooke Rollins is truly mentally ill: “The next, it becomes a leverage point for gender mutilation and health care for illegals.” <- she is talking about SNAP…

“It is striking: one moment the program is held up as a moral imperative by Democrats, who at every farm bill, continuing resolution, or annual funding bill negotiation lambast Republicans to increase participation and funding for SNAP. The next, it becomes a leverage point for gender mutilation and health care for illegals. The neediest among us must not be treated as bargaining chips in the broader fight over spending, immigration, or whatever extraneous priorities are consuming Democrats’ attention.”

Special Agent Dougie Jones@dcbpka· Oct 24

First off, there are no “checks” in SNAP. Also, the 25 states that have not given notice are in no way going to be able to fund the program on their own (hence the headache from cost-sharing from OBBBA). Finally, why are PR and Guam always left out of reports like this? Do better @politico.com

“Millions of low-income Americans will lose access to food aid on Nov. 1, when half of states plan to cut off benefits due to the government shutdown.
Twenty-five states told POLITICO that they are issuing notices informing participants of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the nation’s largest anti-hunger initiative — that they won’t receive checks next month. Those states include California, Arkansas, Hawaii, Indiana, Mississippi and New Jersey. Others didn’t respond to requests for comment in time for publication.”

I wish we had actual journalists working in what's left of public media: "the economy is doing remarkably well. And the stock market is doing remarkably well." www.npr.org/2025/10/22/n...

MINTON BEDDOES: Well, first of all, it's very nice to join you again. That's a hard one to answer because, you know, what is remarkable is that in the face of a lot of shocks - some positive, many negative - the economy is doing remarkably well. And the stock market is doing remarkably well. And I think the sort of simple way to explain that is that on the one hand, we have a number of policy shocks - and I would put the president's immigration policy right at the top and his tariff policy right at the top, and we can talk about both of those - but also, generally, the uncertainty that surrounds what President Trump does. You know, he is very pro-business on one hand, but on the other hand, it's very, very hard to plan and predict.

But set against that, there is a frenzy, almost a euphoria in the United States right now around artificial intelligence. And that frenzy is driving investment, and it is really what is behind the stock market. So you have this sort of tale of two economies, if you will - the real economy right now in the here and now, I think, being hit by particularly the tariffs, and on the other hand, this optimism in the markets that comes around the expectations for AI.

GROSS: So how much of the stock market's boom right now is a result of AI? I think you've written that like 40% of...

MINTON BEDDOES: Yeah, a huge amount. If you look at really the stocks that are doing extraordinarily well, it is the Big Tech companies, the Magnificent Seven, as they're often called - Meta, Tesla, Alphabet - formerly Google - Amazon, NVIDIA, Microsoft and Apple. It is the Big Tech companies that are driving this frenzy, and then other companies that investors think are going to benefit from it. If you took those out, the performance of the stock market is much more lackluster.

The USDA, the radical-left-organizers that they are, even further expanded the term

Ranges of Food Security and Food Insecurity
In 2006, USDA introduced new language to describe ranges of severity of food insecurity. USDA made these changes in response to recommendations of an expert panel convened at USDA's request by the Committee on National Statistics (CNSTAT) of the National Academies. Although new labels were introduced, the methods used to assess households' food security remained unchanged, so statistics for 2005 to now are directly comparable with those for earlier years. The following labels define ranges of food security:

Food Security
High food security (old label = Food security): no reported indications of food-access problems or limitations.
Marginal food security (old label = Food security): one or two reported indications—typically of anxiety over food sufficiency or shortage of food in the house. Little or no indication of changes in diets or food intake.
Food Insecurity
Low food security (old label = Food insecurity without hunger): reports of reduced quality, variety, or desirability of diet. Little or no indication of reduced food intake.
Very low food security (old label = Food insecurity with hunger): reports of multiple indications of disrupted eating patterns and reduced food intake.

Special Agent Dougie Jones@dcbpka· Sep 24

@thirdway.bsky.social really out here saying that "food insecurity" is "organizer jargon" showing that they truly do not know what they are talking about in any way.

Organizer Jargon
These words say “we are beholden to groups, not individuals. People have no agency.”

Radical transparency
Small ‘d’ democracy
Barriers to participation
Stakeholders
The unhoused
Food insecurity
Housing insecurity
Person who immigrated

The funding for each state/territory participating in the program is based on unemployment and poverty data: www.congress.gov/crs-product/... The formula is important because there is mandatory funding that comes through, but also extra 'bonus' foods the USDA can tap into if needed.
