cigarettes for a quarter a pack.
i remember my parents buying cigarettes for a quarter a pack from a vending machine and there were two or three pennies inside the cellophane wrapper (early ’50s). of course, they were regular, old fashioned short (not “king size”) without a filter.
later (early ’60s) when i was in the navy, when we got out of u.s. water offshore, they were a dollar a carton without the tax. king size pall malls, my brand, were a dollar ten a carton. on shore, off the base, (taxed) they were thirty cents a pack.
now, i don’t smoke, and that’s even cheaper – easier on the health too!
Re 4 Cent Stamps Today Should Be .80 Cents, That’s Why The Post Office Had So many Problems.
Social Security checks should be double what they are, and minimum basic livable wage should be $26/hr, that’s why young consumers didn’t have any savings accounts and or down payments before the ’08 crash.
A factor of 20 X the old prices is a good reference point. 15 X and you’re being nice.
Some Old Prices:
Newspaper .05 cents, Coffee .10 cents, Gasoline .25 cents, Cigarettes .25 cents, house $30,000-$40,000, decent car $2,500, Candy bars .05 cents, McDonalds burger .15 cents, slice of pizza and a small Coke .25 cents.
In 1965 I was offered a small house for $8,000, later on almost bought a full size one for $12,000. Late ’60s or early ’70s I was offered a nice full size waterfront house for $18,000. $550k today same house.
Go ahead and do X 15 on those numbers.

Terrorist Attack on USS Cole: Background and Issues for Congress
Sep 14, 2017 – Summary On October 12, 2000, the U.S. Navy destroyer Cole was attacked by a small boat laden with explosives during a brief refueling stop in the harbor of Aden, Yemen. The suicide terrorist attack killed 17 members of the ship’s crew, wounded 39 others, and seriously damaged the ship. Evidence …
The last act of terrorism during the Clinton administration came on October 12, 2000, when bin Laden operatives bombed the USS Cole in Aden, Yemen. Seventeen American sailors were killed, 39 others were wounded, and one of the U.S.’s most sophisticated warships was nearly sunk.
Disgraced Bill Clinton aint here anymore ..Theres a NEW Sheriff in Town…
Yep love that inflation
Just noticed first class stamps are now half a buck. They were 4 cents when I was a kid.
Flag, 13:42, Rory looked pretty much like a machine last weekend.
The Irish eyes were smiling on him. Green jackets and Irishmen go good together, even if he is a heathen from the north.

That’s a perfect illustration of what should be done. Let the libtards argue against that!
ipso, below
It’s about time. I wonder if any of the gun-free-zone zealots will begin to get the message that armed security is the best defense against this kind of incident. Frankly, I doubt it. Nor will it get nearly the play, or the discussion, on MSM.
Also, thanks for the reply to my computer security question.
Kudos to the officer

I think Malwarebytes is the best one. I’m running that and Superantispyware these days. AVG is good too.
Is this a surprise to anyone?

eeos–or others in the know: computer security
I know you’re a Windows guy. I’m running Windows 7 on home computer. McAfee has run out and I want to get rid of it anyway (I know it can be difficult to un-install; advice?). What’s my simplest best free computer security system/combination? I do run anti-malware bytes and CCleaner periodically.
Reverse point wave down in stock index futures
We may have some kind of top in the stock market for a while. If the tariffs keep coming, things may get very interesting. Trump may get that tidal wave of debt coming home from the Chinese. That instant pop up in interest rates may catch some folks with their financial pants down.
The local economy here is really hopping with the oil field going crazy again. I’ve seen this rodeo before. some smaller oil companies are floating debt to the public and if they hit, the public gets their puny interest. If it goes south, guess who holds the bag! The oil field used to have honorable people in it. They are few and far between now.
Still lurking almost daily.

What are all those monetary metals derivatives held by a few big U.S. banks?

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
GATA’s and gold’s old friend Larry Parks, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Monetary Education (FAME, http://fame.org), calls attention tonight to the third-quarter 2017 report of the U.S. Comptroller of the Currency, which shows that just several government- insured U.S. banks hold $45 billion in derivative positions related to monetary metals.
The chart disclosing these positions, appearing on Page 32 of the OCC report, is reproduced at GATA’s internet site here:

The full OCC report is posted at GATA’s internet site here:
http://gata.org/files/OCC-Q3-2017- ReportOnBankTrading&Derivatives.pdf
Parks asks: Are these derivatives a “pass-through” on behalf of bank customers or are they held by the banks on their own behalf?
Of course the probability is that these positions are actually the positions of the U.S. government and other governments using the banks as intermediary cover lest more explicit public records of gold and silver market intervention be created.
After all, filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission already have documented that governments and central banks are receiving discounts from CME Group, operator of the major futures exchanges in the United States, for surreptitiously trading all financial and commodity futures contracts offered by CME Group exchanges:

http://www.gata.org/node/14411
In January GATA published CME Group’s discount schedule for such trading by governments and central banks:

How likely is it that a few U.S. banks would be so involved with the monetary metals derivatives without the approval or instructions of the U.S. government?
Aramco Kills Massive Offshore IPO, Will Only Offer Shares Domestically
The question that many oil traders were asking for the past two years – and certainly all of Wall Street’s investment banks – was answered moments ago when the WSJ reported that as some had predicted, Saudi Arabia has decided to scale back its ambitions for a public offering for oil giant Aramco, either on the NYSE or elsewhere, and instead is moving ahead with a listing next year solely on the Saudi stock exchange while taking more time to decide if an international venue is worth it.
The news, which means Wall Street banks will make several hundred million less in IPO proceeds this year by not taking public the Saudi company which by some estimates was worth $2 trillion and had hoped to raise up to $100 billion, followed a Bloomberg report from last Friday according to which “Aramco said to get cool response on IPO from U.S. investors.”
While the original Bloomberg story was mysteriously taken down, what it reported was spot on: there was simply not enough demand for what would have been the world’s biggest IPO – at least, not at the $2 trillion price tag demanded by the Saudis.
