My Twin is pretty militant about mask wearing, too. One of the pasty white overweight dumpling progressive chicks that works there double masks with a face shield. I shake my head at her every time I see her.

Good on you for no mask in HEB. This weekend will probably be my first run at that.
Did you just call your twin sister a "pasty white overweight dumpling progressive chick"?

I have not tired it yet either as I thought it went into affect Wednesday?

I went to twin because it was convenient. They won’t get my business anymore. I’ll just go to specs on the way to pick up my daughter from school.
 
I went to HEB yesterday and I was the only person in there without a mask on. Nobody said shit and I checked out no problem. Went to the liquor store next door (twin liquors) grabbed a bottle of scotch put it on the counter and the fat guy that works there asked me to put on my mask. Told him I don’t have one. He said you need a mask I said I don’t have one. He goes well I can’t sell to you. I said ok I’ll take
My business elsewhere. On the way out I told him big dick abbot put an end to the mask bullshit and he said it was company policy. I went to specs up the road got my scotch nonissue.
HEB has been great - the entire time have never worn a mask there said hi to managers and they've never said a thing.

Cannot say the same for Kroger.
 
Powell says inflation is coming hard lady and gents. He claims we should be comfortable with this especially since "we've been living in a low inflation world for decades".

LMFAO glad I went bond heavy recently!


Why would you go bond heavy in an inflationary rising rate market?

You do realize rates and bond prices have an inverse-proportional relationship..

Not criticizing just wondering.

Bond rates are supposed to rise considerably over the next 2 -4 years. We've already seen rates go up recently to solidify that.

Market is way down and wife and I are in an asset protect strategy. Growth (beyond 3%) is not a consideration we worry about.

Edit to add: As long as we don't lose half like people did in 08 I'll be happy. I believe the 'correction' will be quite large and last quit a while.

You do realize if you buy bonds now and the rates go up the value of your bonds go down.

Bonds hate inflation.

I'm in account where they reorganize my holdings on them every 6 months so I'm always holding for the highest return.

All muni and corps.

Getting 3.75 this year and expecting to go north of 4 by next. Probably well north of 4 if they keep raising the rates.

Edit: they expect inflation to remain under the benchmark of 2% anyways
