Sometimes very active discussions about peripheral issues overwhelm a thread, so this is a permanent home for those conversations.

  1. J-Mac: If you prove me viruses can mutate. I will e-transfer you $500

    Also, how are you doing? Is life treating you OK?

  2. Inflation rate projected to hit 6% in the second quarter, top economic forecasters say

    The recent surge in inflation is likely to get worse over the next several months, according to a survey Friday from the nation’s top economists.

    Consumer price inflation is projected to hit 6% for the first quarter, according to the Survey of Professional Forecasters, a blue-ribbon group that is polled each quarter by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.

    In the most recent forecast three months ago, the panel put the expected consumer price index gain at just 2.7%. However, that was just before the U.S. and Israel launched attacks against Iran, hostilities that have sent energy prices soaring while pushing inflation data well past the 2% mark the Fed targets.
