We're basically asocial hermits but I can't wait to hang out with some friends and family. Hell, I'd be up for a cruise through the Inland Passage at this point.

Hmmmm, I should book something like a couple weeks in Negril with a side trip to the Appleton rum distillery and my old school in Kingston, Mona Prep.

Come up for a visit, I may know a local guy that could host you.

Economists bullish on Biden's $3 trillion infrastructure plan

https://www.axios.com/biden-infrastr...a4794bc2b.html

Quote:
S&P predicts Biden's infrastructure plan will create 2.3 million jobs by 2024, inject $5.7 trillion into the economy — which would be 10 times what was lost during the recession — and raise per-capita income by $2,400.
Of course Moscow Mitch will do his very worst to avoid actually helping the 99%...

"The U.S. economy added 916,000 jobs last month, as coronavirus vaccine distribution improved, Congress approved a $1.9 trillion stimulus package, and states across the country lifted restrictions on businesses.

The unemployment rate edged down to 6 percent from 6.2 percent in February, according to the monthly report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The report comes a year after the pandemic threw the U.S. economy into a tailspin.

The labor market recovered about 12 million of the 22 million jobs lost in the first two months of the pandemic by October. But the pace of the recovery had slowed drastically by then, and it churned sluggishly through winter as the virus surged through the holidays and into the New Year." WP

Things are finally getting a little better after a year from hell.

Biden’s Latest Surprise Boost for Oil Involves Lots of Asphalt

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/oil-s...211048365.html

Interesting story. Big Oil companies are major contributors to Repubes. This will force Moscow Mitch and his thugs to think twice about blocking Biden's infrastructure plans.
