The surge in stocks and bonds, and steep dollar slide last week sparked one of the biggest loosening of financial conditions in decades.

Ariana Sokol is a contract golf caddy for Platinum Tees in Las Vegas, Nevada. Golfers book us directly through Platinum Tees, and we go to caddy at different courses around Las Vegas. The first time I set foot on a golf course was my first round after I got the job. I now know the primary course I work at like the back of my hand, so I'm almost like a flight attendant. I always get to the golf course with my makeup on and my hair done.

Her previous expressions of her policy views about alleged big tech monopolists, Boasberg said, did not require Khan’s recusal under the standard for federal prosecutors. (The petition and stay motion are not in the FTC docket but are exhibits in the preliminary injunction case.) We know this from an Oct. 6 letter from the FTC to Weil Gotshal in the administrative proceeding. Remember, Meta is not asking Davila to order Khan off either the preliminary injunction case or the administrative proceeding. We’ll know more about whether the stratagem accomplished anything when the preliminary injunction case goes to a hearing in December.

Dan dan noodlesIt’s nearly impossible to dislike China’s soul-comforting dan dan mian, or dan dan noodles. Dan dan noodles are named after the way they were originally sold more than 100 years ago – on a dan dan, a carrying pole, by street hawkers. Some think dan dan noodles should contain a dry mix of noodles, made with minced meat, chopped scallions, spices, crushed peanuts and various sauces. Others disagree, preferring dan dan noodles in a hot, spicy, salty and nutty broth albeit with similar ingredients. Similar to Hainanese chicken rice, the Wenchang version is often served with yellow chicken fat rice and chicken soup.

Friday eve means the weekend's just around the corner, but it seems like nobody told the British bond market. The balancing act, at worst, could mean a calamity for the British economy and prolonged volatility in markets. And at best, policymakers thread the needle and stabilize markets, tame inflation, and regain the confidence of traders and everyday folks dealing with a tough economy. A weaker currency means imports get more expensive, and higher bond yields mean government borrowing gets more expensive. What will it take for bond market traders to regain confidence in the UK debt market?

☆ Financial markets don't like the U.K. stimulus plan because they fear inflation above all else now

The U.K. has unveiled a large stimulus program, the biggest tax cut in half a century and will pay for it by substantially raising the debt level. Wait, don't markets love stimulus programs? Stimulus programs might even be welcomed for stoking some inflation in those circumstances. The stimulus program and the attendant need to borrow was immediately seen as inflationary, hardly what the market wants to hear. If stimulus programs are no longer greeted as a positive, what can they do to help out weak economies?

For many Nickelodeon actors, life at the network was surreal, the "Amanda Show" actor Raquel Lee told Insider. Schneider set up a meeting to discuss the situation. On the one hand, the success of Schneider's shows provided rare stability in a chaotic industry. None of Schneider's shows credited more than two female writers in the entirety of their runs; "Zoey 101" and "Drake & Josh" had zero. The writer wrote that Schneider once pressured her into simulating "being sodomized" while she was telling a story about high school, to her embarrassment.

☆ In the war on recession, Uncle Sam wants YOU — to party, party, party
▼ + stars: | 2022-08-25 | by ( Desmond Lachman | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +8 min

Eventually the slowing demand spreads out across the economy: lower wages, higher unemployment rates, less consumer spending, and fewer homebuyers. This conventional view on the inevitability of a recession is highly plausible and should not be dismissed lightly. This soaring demand for goods coupled with crippled supply led to a shortage of goods — and sent prices soaring. And while concerns about the economy and the possibility of a recession have increased, people have kept spending. But as price inflation of goods cools, the shift to spending on services can keep the economy going.
