OPEC+: today was an upward (albeit minimal) quota adjustment; not a production adjustment. Huge difference.
"Go-broke" dates for Social Security, Medicare: delayed due to a stronger-than-expected economic recovery. Good news for all ages, from millennials to seniors.
The annual Social Security and Medicare trustees report released Thursday says Social Security's trust fund will be unable to pay full benefits in 2035, instead of last year's estimate of 2034. The year before that it estimated an exhaustion date of 2035.
The projected depletion date for Medicare's trust fund for inpatient hospital care moved back two years to 2028 from last year's forecast of 2026.

Time For A Haircut
My last haircut from a professional was just before the lock down in March, 2020. I got my last professional haircut in late February or very, very early March, 2020.
Sophia started cutting my hair in 2020 when she was six years old. She continues to cut it. She will turn eight years old this summer.
Today's "clip" -- pun intended:
I got a haircut every two weeks during covid. Not scared.
ReplyDeleteMe, too! LOL. Sometimes when Sophia needed a bit of cash, she offered to cut my hair more than every two weeks. And neither of us were scared. When I told her not to cut my ears she said, "I'm a professional. I don't cut ears. I cut hair."
