Notes Today: 

  • According to a recent study by the European Commission, X—previously Twitter, now owned by Elon Musk—has significantly contributed to the dissemination of Russian disinformation on Ukraine.
  • Costco 
  • Hotdog: $1.50 including refillable drink. 
  • Rotisserie Chicken $5 (117 million sold in 2022, up 10% from 2021)



  • Data from the US labor department showed that the unemployment rate jumped to 3.8% in August and wage gains moderated, suggesting that labor market conditions were weakening. 

  • The cost to transport America’s harvest from the Midwest to the rest of the world is soaring as shrinking water levels on the Mississippi River drive up barge freight rates — and the forecast for below-than-average rainfall offers no relief. 

  • Bird Flu losses


Problem with these notes: some tend to run up against a deeply rooted feature of human cognition - the desire not to think about anything unpleasant…Sorry about that.
