FSD, that was the huge post of the day, it had it all, satire, confucius, some truman, I like it and I want more. Make it into a haiku and you will be my new hero.

I need more cowbell and more Ben Franklin because one of his best quotes “There are no fools so troublesome as those that have wit.” Keep it up.

I can’t get over the statement that was made early in this thread “a lot of people were cheated.” The pot stirring cliches are tired “careful what you wish for”,”you are happy about bad news”, “real families are being hurt”, “I got out and CA sucks anyway”,”you can’t afford it anyways”, yada yada yada. C’mon MGU, you really want to have this debate, you are going to need to bring your “A” game because these arguments are tired and pointless, put that finger away because we don’t need any finger wagging, card carrying “people for a perfect world” members here.

The facts are that every player in the game that is being hurt is culpable and nobody is going to die. The fiscally conservative were punished for years and now they will be rewarded, why is that a capital offense. You timed the market and your profit will end up being someone else’s loss but you have rationalized it because as you say, they will be fine. Is there guilt in that story, it has a “i got a girl pregnant and left town but she wanted a kid to raise by herself anyway” feel to it. Just admit it, you timed the market right and your desire to see the seasons or your gut turned out to be a genius move but don’t think you can blame others for their selfishness and be cleansed. These posters like JC and Stan are just questioning the fundamentals and feel vindicated by their accurate predictions based on fundamentals and you want to blow out their birthday candles for them., All I can say is “and the horse you rode in on.” I can’t believe I got sucked in on this one, shame on me for typing angry.

I get the premise I just don’t think it’s too egocentric to base one’s 30 minute observation and translate it to the broader economy. My kids started school this week, I didn’t send them to school with crab legs in their lunchboxes yet I have more cash and income than I have ever had. The cold cuts and PB&J that I was stocking up on was not due to my budget and observing my purchases would give a false impression. Costco is one of the best places to buy the stuff for kid lunches, the single serving juice, yogurt, cheese, snacks are all high quality and low price, I would think some families had to hit costco before school starts but after they have been they don’t need to go for a week or two and the first week or two of school requires adjustments in routines. Different districts start on different days or weeks, some areas are still in summer mode and others are rushing to get ready and some have been in school all week.

I’m not saying that retail sales won’t be down, just that a big chunk of costco’s customers have families and their schedules at the end of August can be thrown off by the beginning of school and sports that suddenly start.

I think the costco barometric economic indicator is a flawed system. I think I have shopped there regularly since 1985 when I knew of only one (Price club at the time) on Morena. I have never been able to guage economic activity by seeing people buy staples at a specific time at a specific location. Even during those 22 years I have had good and bad financial times and still managed enough money to buy toilet paper at costco. I think when I was at my poorest I may have shopped there even more, forgoing other luxuries yet maintaining food and toiletries as my little treat.

I think foreclosures are the best indicator, maybe luxury cars, boats and recreational vehicles will give you some insight but not things that people will always buy. I don’t think the majority of the people out there took their heloc to costco, they bought toy haulers, jet skis, implants, granite counters, etc. If you want the man/woman on the street info I would gladly hang out at the local plastic surgeon’s waiting room and strike up a conversation with the waiting patients but the office staff threatened to get a restraining order against me if I keep doing it.

I think we are all cut from the same soiled cloth. Bill Handel every day and Handel on the Law on Saturdays, John and Ken in the afternoon, Jim Rome and I totally miss Phil Hendrie since he left KFI. Jay Santos’ citizens auxilary police, Ted Bell, Dr. Jim Sadler and Bobbie Dooley all make me lose it and I have often had to pull over. This thread made me look him up and it seems he came out of his one year hiatus and is back on the radio, woo hoo.
