Fed Shocked That Warm Weather Did Not Lead To A Consumption Surge
Blaming the weather has become such a popular strategy for explaining away poor economic data that calling attention to the PhDs and Wall Street analysts who employ it in a desperate attempt to perpetuate the US economic recovery myth has almost lost its comedic value… almost.
But not quite.
Which is why we found it particularly amusing that the NY Fed — and this is the same NY Fed that recently called the San Francisco Fed’s Steve Liesman-assisted residual seasonality coup a “myth” — admits that “real consumption expenditures have yet to show signs of a significant pickup from a slowdown in winter.” “Growth has been tepid,” the NY Fed research team notes, “despite better weather.”
So our only question is this: with winter and all the cold weather, snow, and ice that economists are always shocked to see accompanying it just five months away, how is it possible that the Fed will be able to start raising rates in December?

Then we can have another spike in those housing sales like we did in the dead cold of February in Northeast USA.
Huh? Winter is supposed to stymie Economic activity?
But what about the Housing sales spike that was reported on these pages this morning?
Oh. Never mind.

Stick your finger in a fresh cow patty - 'that's tepid'.

Hunker the fuck down! We got weather a coming! It's gonna be rainy some places, dry others, snow here and tornado there while some will see hail and others rainbows. Not to mention hot, warm, chilly, cold and freezing.
Shelter in place under the desk with some scissors, dude. No way I'm gonna go outside in the weather.

Its been a little to warm where I live, and if its perfect outside consumers may spend a relaxing day at a park or the beach a BBQ at home. Good weather may lead to the next Great Depression!!

CONFIRMED:Bernanke was born in Augusta, Georgia, and was raised on East Jefferson Street in Dillon, South Carolina.

I was kinda thinking that that particular barber scalped Bernanke & made a Yellen wig out of it. Being close friends with both of them & all that.
The Bernank sold fireworks & beer to underage redneck children at South of the Border, for his mentor Alan Shafer.

Brace Yourselves, No rate hike in my lifetime and a shit storm coming in the fall.
Left unsaid : Second quarter gdp numbers look like shit .... even with the kitchen sink thrown in.
so what your saying is we need a double-double-double-double seasonal adjustment.
or a whole shitton of lipstick to put on the pig, cause its the oogliest damn pig in the poke.
Or better yet, a double double animal style seasonal adjustment.
This ruins Ned Stark for me

The one and only thing the Fed should be shocked about is that they haven't been tar and feathered or shot on sight for totally fucking up the U.S. economy!
Guillotines..... They will face the guillotines and we will cheer!
Now is the best time to buy studded tires, snowplows, and such stuff.
Once the weather card hits the table it's game over in Fed Liar's Poker.
That and holiday sales, It'll be tits up for the retailers.
Get.Out.Now.
It's climate change global warming's fault. What else.
Yellen was shocked that there was no consumption surge because she gained 20lbs over the last quarter
Completely smashed her food budget but...no help.
in winter we jews dont celebrate christmas have your boring dreidl
we hate every one who hates us and every one hates us, but why? anna frank did nothing bad...
and we distrust every one who likes us but for some reason, in the year 2015, still no one likes us, exerpt of our self...wait.. thats not true either there are more than X kinds of jews, the ethnic, mixed, the orthodox, the reformed, the converted, ashkenazi, sephridic, ethopian, yemini, open, crypto, zion, anti-zion neturei karta etc etc etc
anyway our strengths are ... and playing victim, stealing money the legal and illegal, the direct and indirect way
kicking us 10000 times out is not enough if no one want to kill us we force you to kill us, even if it will cost 600000000trillionsofbillions of innocent lifes of our own blood, the sacrifice is needed, the victim-sword makes us invincible now
You know nothing, Mr Yellen
Is that consumption in the Dostoyevskyist sense?
A donkey revolt would really shock the Khazars at the FED.
Lemme tell ya. One can search the internet all day everyday for about $40 a month and not buy a single thing. It's entertaining. It's informative.
Pretty soon colleges across the country will be teaching a new class to business majors, called financial meteorology. Instead of learning about synoptic scale events and atmospheric thermodynamics, they will be lectured by a fat, Fed fuck on how the weather can be anything you want it to be.
