But... but... -Earthquakes!-

This is the time of year when it is still safe and not particularly cruel to give back a little of the "why do you live there?" dished out to California the rest of the year.  Don't worry.  There are no less than 5 anti California rants in the hopper.

Lawyerliz said...

Is this good or bad?

Lawyerliz said...

It was cold last nite, but warm now
There is hardly any traffic.

Lawyerliz said...

Only place to work if you want to shoot up big rockets, except Vanderburg admittedly in Cali. Pay high,n jobs many.

Lawyerliz said...

Our Hispanics are much nicer than tour Hispanics, seemingly.

Lawyerliz said...

Your Hispanics

Lawyerliz said...

I've never been there. Can I criticize anyway?

Rob Dawg said...

I'd arrange to have you picked up and dropped off at LAX if you and hubs ever visit. Make a must visit list and let's make it happen.

LBD said...

You put down your money and take your chances.

Rob Dawg said...

I predict there will be a winter in the next six months in New England. No one will predict an earthquake in the next six years.

Rob Dawg said...

We all need to put our brains together and make the list of must see for Liz visiting SoCal.

Lawyerliz said...

Hub can't fly.

Lawyerliz said...

I wish I could.

LBD said...

Motor Home, Not some old Winnebago but a bus diesel pusher, Hotel on wheels! ;)

Rob Dawg said...

In 5-8 years we all slightly better than poor types will be crawling into our motor homes at 2 am and telling the pilot auto to get us to Yosemite then going to the back and going back to sleep.

Rob Dawg said...

I AM SORRY MR DAWG. THERE WAS A BIT OF CLOUDINESS AND WE ARE SPENDING AN EXTRA TWENTY MINUTES AT THE RECHARGE STATION. THIS WILL DELAY OUR ARRIVAL BY 12 MINUTES.

LBD said...

Must see? Getty Museum, Beverly hills, Shop on Rodeo Dr. well window shop at least, Foodies dream everywhere, Santa Monica pier, Griffith observatory, Concert at the Hollywood bowl.

Lawyerliz said...

If that is a suggestion, he has to drive himself,,and not more than 3 or 4 hour s a day.

Lawyerliz said...

Nice. The observatory at the college efsc, was broken by the hurricane, and they have no money to fix it. :((.

Lawyerliz said...

Namely rich!

Lawyerliz said...

Private employment went up to 235k and expected to go up nicely next month. Hurricanes and constructio you know. Close to full employment dawg?

LBD said...

Good Morning!

I don't drive more then that anymore at about 68-70 MPH. See America, get an unlimited data plan to keep in touch. Satellite maps are great to pre drive where you are going including parking lots. I-10 doesn't have snowy mountains to deal with either.

LBD said...

Full employment numbers are a false indicator driven by part time jobs. Hours worked peaked a few years ago and are down, still flat. No wage pressure still. Inflation is everywhere but FED cherry picking leads them to blind.

Lawyerliz said...

U3 is still going down I think. Will check.

Lawyerliz said...

U6 is what I meant. 8.3 ratTo me full employment is 3.9, u6 7.7... iF u6 is going dorm perhaps hours qrk are going down automatically

Rob Dawg said...

The real outrage is the continual reclassification of people into "not in workforce." We are not counting millions.

Cinco-X said...

>Hub can't fly.

I can, but boy do my arms get tired

Cinco-X said...

I predict at least one 3.5 or greater in the southern half of Kali during the next 6 years

Rob Dawg said...

Cinco, you are good!

Lawyerliz said...

U6 is at 8.2 or 8.3.

Lawyerliz said...

8.0 an 4.0 is full employment? Anyone ready to hazard a guess

LBD said...

If you don't look at qualifying details. Yes, Have you met my pet unicorn? :)

Lawyerliz said...

No, post a picture.
Lower is better than higher, no?

Lawyerliz said...

If I knew want the figures meant?

LBD said...

It is very messed up. You could have 2% U3 and a huge population not working, many having 2-3 part time jobs. Then what is full time? It used to be considered 40 Hrs a week. That being said and average of part time and full time means there are more part time jobs then full time when the average hours worked comes out to 34.4 a week. This also includes overtime which is probably very little anymore. I think it is easy to miss as they count jobs not individual people. Hours worked show us that the labor pool is plentiful and there is no shortage to create wage pressure. IMO.

Sorry no pic my unicorn is out being groomed right now. :)

Lawyerliz said...

He he
But u6 is going down too no?

Lawyerliz said...

I am seeing Help wanted signs here, too.

Lawyerliz said...

As to Manaford. I don't see why you need all that money.

LBD said...

Same applies to U6.

What kind of help? I bet it is part time and the churn rate is high.

LBD said...

I would be happy with more money as long as I could stay a nobody. These guys want money, "Look at me" and power.

Rob Dawg said...

Wait. I'm poor and without power. Then again I've never known someone who looked rich who stayed rich. Likewise all the people I know who I know are rich have never looked like it. There's something I'm missing.

Rob Dawg said...

I'm betting there are two or three economies out there that never see a W-2 or qualify for unemployment insouciance ummm I mean insurance.

Lawyerliz said...

You are too, rich. The truly rich don't care. I would like to look at some well dressed people, as long as it isn't me that has to make the effort all the time.

Lawyerliz said...

The rich don't care.
Buffet doesn't live in a Palace, I assume he doesn't want to. It is not happy making to have too much stuff.

Lawyerliz said...

If you have enought stuff you like and no debt and a little income, you are free.

Lawyerliz said...

He turned on Kushner?

Lawyerliz said...

Maybe he turned on Kushner because he senses or knows Kushner is the next to be indicted. Assuming I am not dreaming this.

LBD said...

Good Morning!

Buffet is really a Scrooge and doesn't spend his money. Others who piss it away are really returning their profits improving the velocity.

I don't need to make money but it keeps me busy and I lack nothing. Fun is finding deals, refurbish on the cheap and have more toys. Extravagantly cheap.

Lawyerliz said...

Yeah, how is velocity doing? Hasn't been mentioned in a while. Read an Ole Dawg post from 2006 about foreclosures from when the wave was about to break. Interest to see the change of writing style.

Lawyerliz said...

And when the wave was just beginning to break.

Lawyerliz said...

I wish pepole I like to write to were in the same time zone.
What happened to Casey Serin now?

Lawyerliz said...

Have seen no turtles in weeks. Alas

Cinco-X said...

Still renting your property from the gubmint

Rob Dawg said...

New post.

Cinco-X said...

Who turned on Kushner?
