(Business Insider) – We are about to get confirmation that earnings growth for America’s biggest companies was negative in the first quarter, compared to the same period a year ago.When aluminum giant Alcoa releases its results on Monday, it will mark the unofficial start of the heaviest reporting season for S&P 500 companies. Earnings [are projected to be] negative for a third straight quarter.
Earnings expectations for S&P 500 companies usually tumble in the months leading up to the heavy reporting weeks. This year, the drop was steeper than usual. Earnings estimates have dropped 9% year-to-date, more than double the 4% decline typically recorded three months before earnings season, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch chief equity and quant strategist Savita Subramanian.
Obviously, energy-related companies will have the toughest comparisons since the price of their main product is down by about half year-over-year. But the bigger story is banking, where the environment has changed in ways that look disturbingly persistent.

But about a week ago he became a casualty of the declining local economy, one of nearly 500 people laid off from the Black Thunder and North Antelope Rochelle mines. It was among the latest and worst round of job losses to hit Wyoming.

At this time of the year, millions of Americans are rushing to file their taxes at the last minute, and we are once again reminded just how nightmarish our system of taxation has become. I studied tax law when I was in law school, and it is one of the most mind-numbing areas of study that you could possibly imagine. At this point, the U.S. tax code is somewhere around 4 million words long, which is more than four times longer than all of William Shakespeare’s works put together. And even if you could somehow read the entire tax code, it is constantly changing, and so those that prepare taxes for a living are constantly relearning the rules. It has been said that Americans spend more than 6 billion hours preparing their taxes each year, and Politifact has rated this claim as true. We have a system that is as ridiculous as it is absurd, and the truth is that we don’t even need it. In fact, the greatest period of economic growth in all of U.S. history was when there was no income tax at all. Why anyone would want to perpetuate this tortuous system is beyond me, and yet we keep sending politicians to Washington D.C. that just keep making this system even more complicated and even more burdensome.

Last year, multiple states have pushed bills requiring people to “prove” their gender before using a bathroom. Some of these bills encourage people to report on each other and offer a cash reward for finding someone in the “wrong” bathroom!
North Carolina is the first state in America to create 'bathroom police'. The new law enacted in March, bars people from using public restrooms that don't align with the sex on their birth certificates.
"The bill was passed by the state legislature in less than 10 hours and then signed by the governor that very same night with very little debate," Oakley says. "And so it's incredibly poorly drafted, leading to all kinds of consequences."
Mother Jones asked if cops would be patrolling bathrooms and asking people to show their ID's?

2016: 'End of the Road" For Economy?
mccrant@gmail.com
America is less than seven months from its next election for President. The top problem among voters is the economy. Not one of the candidates has given us his or her position on how they would address the problem.
Beyond the usual "Create more jobs" of "Give the average citizen more access to this or that", not a single candidate has provided a comprehensive answer. The real problem, unless you agree with Trump's idea of bringing jobs back to America and junking the climate change hypothesis as the garbage it is, is the normal statistics do not apply to this 'recovery' or the usual platitudes since it may very well be we've reached the end of the proverbial road and the 'can' can no longer be kicked down it. Government spending for make-work projects is not feasible either except for the short-term. In the long run they are simply too costly
While we are less than two weeks into April, scanning through the first quarter reports--particularly those of the banking sector--one gets he eerie feeling economists are already writing off 2016 as yet another lost year in the Obama non-recovery from the Great Recession.
One alarming fact emerges. There is almost universal consensus now that this will be the worst first-quarter report since 2008. Analysts are expecting a 20% decline in earnings for the six biggest U.S. banks from 2015 and if you remember that was worse than anyone expected as it caught the forecasters flat-footed after a reasonable 2014 final quarter boost.
From IMF's Christine Legarde's 2016 economic warnings to the Fed's Janet Yellen's hapless flailing to China's almost continuous official economic revisions, one is beginning to suspect 2016 isn't just going to show a lessening of economic growth but quite possibly a contraction that hasn't really been seen since the 1930s.
How bad is it really? A clue came from Legarde while making the usual rounds of Sunday news shows. Legarde pushed the International Monetary Fund agenda of negative interest rates for the global central bankers as a sure-fire means of delivering extra stimulus while trimming lending conditions.
Here is the dirty laundry for American voters to consider. Six of the world's central banks have already gone to negative rates! The leaders--in size--have been the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank. A full quarter of the world's GDP (not economic activity but real gross domestic production) is now governed by rates that are less than zero. If this plan worked as intended there would be no more need for additional stimulus plans.
In China the People's Republic Bank of China devalued twice inside a one calendar year and the world's second best economy is still stagnating. Low interest rates--as witnessed in America--did not get down to the Main Street folk but was estopped in the Beltway and on Wall Street
If a loose monetary policy won't work and government spending programs are a loser, what should the candidates be promoting? The easy answer is something that will actually revive Main Streets across the land. If it is true that cream rises to the top, then Wall Street and the Beltway will also benefit in the long run from this plan.
But none dare make the statement. They are wedded to the campaign donation and the sizable ones, the sustaining ones originate on Wall Street. So the direct payback pipeline must go through there first. So the cream originates to the top and that's where it wants to be. There is no trickle down effect to benefit Main Street.
It is paraxial that the candidates need the average person's vote but need the big company's financial support. Inevitably they side with the cash cows the campaigns rely on and never truly the constituents they are supposed to represent, except by lip service.
That's why they cannot put forth a workable plan for the people--only a plan that maintains the political status quo.
The bummer is whoever wins the campaign isn't going to help Main Street one bit. Every politician thinks that's Main Street's job. Beltway politics and Wall Street money-grubbers just impeded that process to the point the economy has no option but to fail. When it fails enough, then there'll be a popular revolt--to elect someone who appeals to the masses in looks or talk but is still answerable to the good old boy system currently in place.
It is tough to come up with a new, solid plan under those circumstances.

Should public facilities continue to offer separate bathrooms for men and women? In 2016, this has become a political “hot potato” that is causing emotions to run high on both sides of the debate. Many liberals consider the push for gender-neutral bathrooms to be on the cutting edge of the civil rights movement in the United States. Meanwhile, many conservatives consider separate bathrooms for men and women to be a matter of basic moral decency. What both sides of the debate can agree on is that this is an issue that is not going away any time soon. Gender-neutral bathrooms are popping up in public places all over America, and the Obama administration has even installed one in the White House. Unfortunately, these gender-neutral bathrooms can have some very serious unintended consequences as you will see below. (Read More...)/
The elite are fleeing major cities around the globe at a staggering rate. In fact, the Chicago Tribune is reporting that approximately 3,000 millionaires left the city of Chicago alone during 2015. The same study discussed in that Chicago Tribune article found that 7,000 millionaires left Paris, France last year. So why is this happening? Why are thousands of millionaires suddenly packing up and moving away from the big cities? Could it be possible that they have many of the same concerns that “preppers” do about what is coming?
