According to the economist who came up with it, the “Walmart Recession Signal” indicating an oncoming recession is getting louder.
Tonight, I'm also pleased to announce that the Department of Agriculture will be launching a new harvest fuel relief program, providing our farmers with $8 billion in support to offset diesel costs during this harvest season
Donald Trump.
So the fuel relief is to relieve high fuel prices caused by the war against Iran which is illegal, and will be paid for by money we don't have.
Sure, that makes sense somehow.
Oil is coming out of the Strait of Hormuz, under US protection, at roughly the same amount it was before the war now.

Natrona County eyes two school closures. One is 40 miles away, the other is right around the corner
One of the schools is in Midwest.
In a real irony, former House District 58 representative Patrick Sweeney went to the Midwest town hall on the subject. Long serving Sweeney was ousted by current representative Bill Allemand after the district was redrawn. Alleman was a complete asshole to Sweeney in a debate and ran, that time, as firebrand Freedom Caucuser.
He survived a challenge from Bar Nunn Mayor Peter Boyer whom he became crosswise with over a proposal to place the Radiant nuclear generator plant north of Bar Nunn, something Bar Nunn could not have stopped. Bar Nunn's city council meetings became the bizarre focus of the topic however with outraged populists even accusing some city council members of taking bribes, an absolute absurdity. Radiant eventually grew tired of the matter and decamped to Tennessee. Allemand, for his part, was arrested not all that long after for drunk driving. He's one of the few surviving members of the Wyoming Freedom Caucus, barely hanging on to his seat.
Allemand is apparently backing fanciful thoughts of declaring the school to be a charter school or forming a new school district, neither of which will occur It was really admirable of Sweeney to go out and speak to a group of people about their plight, which is concerning, which their votes for Allemand helped bring about. It's the classic Leopard's won't eat my face situation.

Wyoming will receive $206,000,000 from the Federal Government for healthcare as part of a Federal rural healthcare initiative.
Now, I demand everyone in Wyoming on the far right who has decried socialized medicine to demand the state not accept the money. To not do so would be hypocritical.

This is a good example of why: 1) nobody should be allowed to amass this degree of wealth, 2) people who don't make their livelihood in agriculture should not be allowed to own ag land.
This is a really good reason to bring in a wealth tax in Wyoming, and an idle rich landowner tax.
