  1. You know? I would totally do this. Afterwards, I would say two things with a genuine smile:

    1. Thank you for your service. The National Guard was crucial in helping after Hurricane Helene in North Carolina.

    then:

    1. We are counting on you now to disobey illegal orders.

  3. Latest inflation data just arrived came in right at the consensus forecast. Headline inflation of 0.2% in the month, running at 2.7% over the year. Core rose 0.3% in July, and 3.1% over the year.

    For two years inflation was declining toward the Fed's target. That seems to be over.
