news.ycombinator.com Jeannette Cooperman Holds A Degree In Philosophy 2025-11-06 04:55:31

The gentleman is kindly, matter-of-fact. He is not scared of a dead mother’s lightning bolts. I stand on the other side of the glass cabinet, shifting my weight from one foot to the other, nervous as a thief at a pawn shop. Not because I stole this sterling and silverplate, but because I inherited it. As a sacred trust, glowing with aspirations to fineness. My Irish great-grandmother paid for her passage to America by working as a maid for a wealthy family, and she memorized their lace-curtain

Last week’s disappointing jobs report showed U.S. job growth stalled significantly in August, with just 22,000 new jobs added, and an unemployment rate that has risen to 4.3%. It was the worst August report since the pandemic and the market treated it accordingly, welcoming it for the potential rate cuts it may herald but wary of the slower growth it may portend. “The labor market is showing signs of cracking,” Heather Long, Navy Federal Credit Union senior economist, wrote in a note to invest
