Locator: 48608CRAMER.

The Eisen Hour: a mix of facts, factoids, opinions from various sources -- often not cited -- while listening to the Eisen hour on CNBC. 

ECB: 

• EU economy: tilted to the "downside"
• in a deflationary cycle
• the back-to-back cut today was the ECB's third cut this year to try to stimulate the anemic European economy
• there's a reason the inflation rate in many European countries has a 1-handle
• folks complain about interest rates / inflation rates in the US -- hmmmm?

US, link here:

Disinflation, deflationary: recurring theme on the blog for the past six months -- we are re-doing our kitchen -- setting a higher bar — will post photo later next week — kitchen re-model might cost us $60, tops.

Kitchen appliances:

• air fryer: practically being given away
• Instant Pot: ditto
• electric speed-boil kettles — hot water for instant coffee; tea
• Keurig, of course
• electric hot pot for soup -- do I even need an oven?
  
• except for Thanksgiving turkey -- do I even need a stove?
• option: smoked turkey from local vendor 

Screenshots: these are current prices -- nothing to do with Prime Day sales -- prices cut over 20% -- seeing this everywhere on Amazon Prime -- cuts of 20% to 30% on literally "everything" in which I'm interested.
