In the United States, the federalcivil service was established in 1871. The Federal Civil Service is defined as "all appointive positions in the executive, judicial, and legislative branches of the Government of the United States, except positions in the uniformed services." (5 U.S.C.§2101). In the early 19th century, positions in the federal government were held at the pleasure of the president—a person could be fired at any time. The spoils system meant that jobs were used to support the American political parties, though this was gradually changed by the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act of 1883 and subsequent laws. By 1909, almost two-thirds of the U.S. federal workforce was appointed based on merit, that is, qualifications measured by tests. Certain senior civil service positions, including some heads of diplomatic missions and executive agencies are filled by political appointees. Under the Hatch Act of 1939, civil servants are not allowed to engage in political activities while performing their duties.
The Twilight Shoreliner replaced the Night Owl as Amtrak's dedicated overnight service on the Northeast Corridor. Amtrak equipped the train with a Viewliner sleeping car, replacing the Heritage Fleet equipment used by the Night Owl. The new train also featured a Custom-class coach and the specially-branded "Twilight Café," which served hot meals and was restricted to sleeper- and custom-class passengers. Finally, Amtrak extended the southern terminus from Washington, D.C. to Newport News, Virginia and moved the departure time from Boston from 10 PM to 8 PM. The Twilight Shoreliner provided a second daily frequency between the Northeast and Newport News, supplementing the Old Dominion.

INFLATION:
On December 11th, overall inflation across all items rose by 2.7%, year over year. In terms of where inflation is most persistent, Food at home increased by 1.6%, food away from home (like restaurants), is up 3.6%, Motor Vehicle insurance is up 13%, Health Insurance is up 6%, and Energy is Down by 3.2%.
On top of that, it’s estimated that “Shelter, which has about a one-third weighting in the CPI calculation, accounted for about 40% of the total increase in November" and, in this case ”the shelter index rose 4.7% on a 12-month basis.”
STOCK MARKET:
If we go all the way back to the 1920s, there have only been 9 times where we’ve seen more than a 30% return in a year - and, with the exception of the Great Depression - there usually follows more positive returns in the years that follow.
However, Warren Buffet is taking a more cautious approach while he sells massive positions and sits on his largest cash-pile of all time, at $325 billion dollars. On top of that, one economist was quoted as saying that “The stock market is in a 'mania' that will push it higher before a potential 26% drop in 2025.”
HOUSING MARKET:
Despite mortgage rates being their highest in 20 years - home prices have continue to grow, with the average home rising 5.9% since December of last year. In terms of which markets are seeing the biggest increase, Detroit Michigan saw a 15% gain year-over-year - followed by Chicago at 13.5%, Newark at 11%, and Cleveland at 10% - with the hardest hit being Austin and San Antonio, Texas - having fallen 3-4.5% over the last 12 months.
MY THOUGHTS:
In terms of the stock market, I think it’s important to keep in mind that - even though stocks are expensive - relatively speaking, based on history - honestly, no one has any clue what’s going to happen in the future. I’m still just dollar cost averaging, and I’m not deterred whatsoever by all time highs.

The Federal Reserve System is the central bank of the United States. It performs five general functions to promote the effective operation of the U.S. economy and, more generally, the public interest.
The Federal Reserve conducts the nation’s monetary policy to promote maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates in the U.S. economy; promotes the stability of the financial system and seeks to minimize and contain systemic risks through active monitoring and engagement in the U.S. and abroad; promotes the safety and soundness of individual financial institutions and monitors their impact on the financial system as a whole; fosters payment and settlement system safety and efficiency through services to the banking industry and the U.S. government that facilitate U.S.-dollar transactions and payments; and promotes consumer protection and community development through consumer-focused supervision and examination, research and analysis of emerging consumer issues and trends, community economic development activities, and the administration of consumer laws and regulations.
Visit the Federal Reserve’s website at www.federalreserve.gov for more information.

INFLATION:
On December 11th, overall inflation across all items rose by 2.7%, year over year. In terms of where inflation is most persistent, Food at home increased by 1.6%, food away from home (like restaurants), is up 3.6%, Motor Vehicle insurance is up 13%, Health Insurance is up 6%, and Energy is Down by 3.2%.
On top of that, it’s estimated that “Shelter, which has about a one-third weighting in the CPI calculation, accounted for about 40% of the total increase in November" and, in this case ”the shelter index rose 4.7% on a 12-month basis.”
STOCK MARKET:
If we go all the way back to the 1920s, there have only been 9 times where we’ve seen more than a 30% return in a year - and, with the exception of the Great Depression - there usually follows more positive returns in the years that follow.
However, Warren Buffet is taking a more cautious approach while he sells massive positions and sits on his largest cash-pile of all time, at $325 billion dollars. On top of that, one economist was quoted as saying that “The stock market is in a 'mania' that will push it higher before a potential 26% drop in 2025.”
HOUSING MARKET:
Despite mortgage rates being their highest in 20 years - home prices have continue to grow, with the average home rising 5.9% since December of last year. In terms of which markets are seeing the biggest increase, Detroit Michigan saw a 15% gain year-over-year - followed by Chicago at 13.5%, Newark at 11%, and Cleveland at 10% - with the hardest hit being Austin and San Antonio, Texas - having fallen 3-4.5% over the last 12 months.
MY THOUGHTS:
In terms of the stock market, I think it’s important to keep in mind that - even though stocks are expensive - relatively speaking, based on history - honestly, no one has any clue what’s going to happen in the future. I’m still just dollar cost averaging, and I’m not deterred whatsoever by all time highs.

In the United States, the federalcivil service was established in 1871. The Federal Civil Service is defined as "all appointive positions in the executive, judicial, and legislative branches of the Government of the United States, except positions in the uniformed services." (5 U.S.C.§2101). In the early 19th century, positions in the federal government were held at the pleasure of the president—a person could be fired at any time. The spoils system meant that jobs were used to support the American political parties, though this was gradually changed by the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act of 1883 and subsequent laws. By 1909, almost two-thirds of the U.S. federal workforce was appointed based on merit, that is, qualifications measured by tests. Certain senior civil service positions, including some heads of diplomatic missions and executive agencies are filled by political appointees. Under the Hatch Act of 1939, civil servants are not allowed to engage in political activities while performing their duties.
