Canadian annual inflation continues to stay under 2% and the BoC lowers its interest rate to 2.5% today.

Inflation is forecasted to hit 4% now Tariffs + immigration raids are creating real labour market problems. Output is then cut and prices raised. > [@](#): > > Stricter deportation measures and visa restrictions have slashed annual immigrant inflows from 4 million to nearly 350,000.

Food inflation must be bad in the US if Hamburger Helper is popular again? In my bachelor days in the early 1970s, I would prepare Hamburger Helper about once a week. That stopped forever when my then future wife educated me on its nutritional quality after I served it to her. Sad that it is popular again given its contents.

Going to be interesting to see what happens when the SC hears the tariff case. I suspect they will say Congress acts as a check bit without Congress doing its job its probably grounds to find a chunk of the tariffs illegal (the Brazil ones for example definitely are). ---

My nutty classmate living in Wyoming is currently upset about a proposed windfarm near her. It’s amusing/infuriating watching her contortions around being pro-private property rights and against property owners doing what they want to do with their property. ---

I am happy to have wind farms in the middle of the plains where I don’t have to see them as I prefer to more nature and less evidence of humans around me. #windmill NIMBYism. I posted, I think in random political thoughts, an area that seemed to be losing their minds over a solar panel farm. That seems like it should be way below anyone’s threshold for caring about what an open field looks like. ---

My understanding is that a fair number of jobs are created in the construction of a data centre but very few ongoing jobs. But a huge amount of water and electricity are needed in their operation. ---

people were fighting on facebook over a proposed data center in my area. The jobs created to electricity demanded seems a bit skewed.
