American recession fears collide with reality
New York (CNN Business) The American economy didn't get the memo that it's supposed to already be in a recession. The brutal GDP report released on July 28, showing the economy had contracted for a second quarter in a row, led some to insist the much-feared recession had already arrived. The good, the bad and the unknown of the inflation news And in some ways that makes sense: Since 1948, every period of back-to-back quarters of negative growth coincided with a recession. But the recession-is-already-here argument has been severely undermined since that GDP report came out. A series of events in the past 10 days suggest those recession calls are, at a minimum, premature. Yes, the economy is cooling off after last year's gangbusters growth. But no, it does not appear to be suffering the kind of downfall that would qualify as a recession.

World embraces dirtier fuels as gas hits exorbitant heights
- A + A SINGAPORE (Aug 15): With high natural gas prices showing no signs of abating and supplies becoming harder to obtain, cheaper and dirtier alternatives to the fuel are looking increasingly tempting for energy-hungry buyers. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices in Asia are now near US$50 (RM222.94) per million British thermal units. On an energy-equivalent basis, gas was at about double the price of diesel as of Friday, with high-sulfur fuel oil (HSFO) and coal cheaper still, according to data from S&P Global Commodity Insights. In Europe, the situation is similar, with natural gas at around US$60, at least triple the price of HSFO and propane, according to energy consultancy FGE. Natural gas has become the hottest commodity as Russia, a crucial source of piped gas to Europe and LNG to Asia, maintains a stranglehold on supplies amid a global energy crunch. There is not enough to go around, and the situation is expected to worsen with the approach of … [Read more...] about World embraces dirtier fuels as gas hits exorbitant heights
Editor Daily Rundown: Vulnerable Dems Start To Sweat And Abbott Sends Illegals To Washington
BIDEN SHOULDERS THE BLAME… ‘When Will This End?’: Sen. Manchin Goes After Biden Admin Over Inflation Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin blamed the Biden administration for record-high inflation Tuesday as the president and his staff continue to claim that it is Russian President Vladimir Putin’s fault. “Inflation is a tax and today’s historic inflation data tells another chilling story about how these taxes on Americans are completely out of control,” Manchin said in a statement. “When will this end? It is a disservice to the American people to act as if inflation is a new phenomenon,” the senator continued. “The Federal Reserve and the Administration failed to act fast enough, and today’s data is a snapshot in time of the consequences being felt across the country. Instead of acting boldly, our elected leaders and the Federal Reserve continue to respond with half-measures and rhetorical failures searching for where to lay the blame.” … AND THE BIRD POOP … … [Read more...] about Editor Daily Rundown: Vulnerable Dems Start To Sweat And Abbott Sends Illegals To Washington
