Stocks could be hit next year by the worst earnings recession since 2008. There could be an earnings recession that could be as big of a surprise to the market as it was in 2008. An earnings recession is likely not priced into the market yet. Another downside is coming. It all comes back to central bankers destructive high interest rate policy.

The bastards are deliberately taking money out of the pockets of retired folks. You do not have to be an investment pro like you to know high interest rates mean lower earnings which means lower returns on our savings. Fuck the Fed.

The Forbidden Words



Although the university, facing scrutiny, password-protected the EHLI's list and hid it from public view, the Journal obtained a copy.



The forbidden terms on the EHLI list are grouped into the following categories: "Ableist, Ageism, Culturally Appropriative, Gender-based, Imprecise Language, Institutionalized Racism, Person-First, and Violent."



Terms deemed unfit for use that do not fall into the above categories are classed under "Additional Considerations."



Among the verboten words cited on the "Ableist" master list along with the preferred substitutes are:



"addict," to be replaced with "person with a substance use disorder";

"addicted," to be replaced with "devoted";

"blind study," to be replaced with "masked study"; and

"walk-in," to be replaced with "open office."

Among the verboten words cited on the "Culturally Appropriative" master list along with the preferred substitutes are:

"Brave," not to be replaced but to be dropped from use altogether;

"chief," to be replaced with "the person's name"; and

"tribe," to be replaced with "friends, network, family, support system."

Among the verboten words cited on the "Gender-Based" master list along with the preferred substitutes are:

"'preferred' pronouns," to be replaced by pronouns — since "the word 'preferred' suggests that non-binary gender identity is a choice and a preference";

"ballsy," to be replaced with "bold";

"gentlemen," to be replaced with "everyone";

"he," to be replaced with "person's name of 'they'";

"seminal," to be replaced by "leading, groundbreaking," and

"tranny," to be replaced by "non-gendering conforming folk."

Among the verboten words cited on the "Imprecise Language" master list along with the preferred substitutes are:

"American," to be replaced with "US Citizen" — since this term insinuates "that the US is the most important country in the Americas"; and

"straight," to be replaced with "heterosexual."

Among the verboten words cited on the "Institutionalized Racism" master list along with the preferred substitutes are:

"black hat," to be replaced with "unethical hacker";

"blackballed," to be replaced with "banned, denied";

"gangbusters," to be replaced with "very successful";

"master (v)," to be replaced with "become adept in";

"master list," to be replaced with "list of record"; and

"white paper," to be replaced with "position paper."

In addition to eliminating language that references biological realities and universal concepts that upset activists, Stanford also seeks to swap out idioms it regards as violent, such as "beating a dead horse" and "killing two birds with one stone."
