Und David Rosenberg lästert: Man kann ebensogut lesen, was Janet Yellen gerade zum Besten gibt, das ist gehupft wie gesprungen.

In der Ukraine sind bei Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Armee und Separatisten mehrere Menschen getötet worden. In der Nähe der Stadt Slawiansk soll es bei Kämpfen auch zum Einsatz von Artillerie gekommen sein. Die Regierung in Kiew setzt das Militär ein, um die Kontrolle über das Gebiet wiederzuerlangen.
Während draußen vor der Chicagoer Zentrale Hunderte McDonald's-Mitarbeiter für eine Anhebung der Hungerlöhne demonstrieren, sagt drinnen McDonald's-CEO Don Thompson, dass seine Firma dafür bekannt sei, "gute Job-Gelegenheiten zu bieten sowie die Chance auf 'richtige Karrieren'".
Fakt ist: In USA verdienen viele McDonald's-Mitarbeiter derart wenig, dass sie nicht mal selber Essen bei McDonald's leisten können - und oft nicht mal eine eigene Wohnung (unten, rot).
Gestern wurden 138 der Lohn-Demonstranten, die sich auf dem Gelände der Zentrale in Chicago aufhielten, von der Polizei verhaftet, nachdem sie sich geweigert hatten zu gehen.
McDonald's CEO Don Thompson sought to address a growing chorus of critics on issues including worker pay and marketing to children at its annual meeting Thursday.
As hundreds of protesters chanted for higher wages outside, Thompson told the audience in the building that the company has a heritage of providing job opportunities that lead to "real careers."
"We believe we pay fair and competitive wages," Thompson said.
A day earlier, McDonald's closed one of its buildings in suburban Chicago, where protesters had planned to demonstrate over the low wages paid to its workers. Organizers then targeted another site on the company's headquarters, and police say 138 were arrested after they peacefully refused to leave the property.
....Although many fast-food chains engage in similar practices, McDonald's Corp. is a frequent target for critics because of its high profile. The criticism is becoming a more pressing issue for the world's biggest hamburger chain at a time when it is fighting to boost weak sales amid heightened competition....
Part of the problem is that people are shifting toward foods they feel are fresher or healthier, which has prompted McDonald's executives in recent months to underscore the quality of the chain's ingredients.
...Still, the issue of worker pay in particular has put McDonald's in an uncomfortable spotlight since late 2012, when protests for a $15 an hour wage began in New York City. Demonstrators were out again before the meeting, chanting, "I want, I want, I want my $15."
Shawn Dalton, who traveled from Pittsburgh, said her daughter is a recent high school graduate who can't afford to go to college right away, so she'll likely wind up earning Pennsylvania's $7.25-an-hour minimum wage.
"That won't get her an apartment, that won't buy a bus pass, that won't buy food," Dalton said. "She'll either have to depend on welfare or depend on me."....
Sie sind nur 4 % so groß wie angenommen...
The US shale oil "miracle" has about as much believability left as Jimmy Swaggart. Just today, we learned that the EIA has placed a hefty downward revision on its estimate of the amount of recoverable oil in the #1 shale reserve in the US, the Monterey in California.
As recently as yesterday, the much-publicized Monterey formation accounted for nearly two-thirds of all technically-recoverable US shale oil resources.
But by this morning? The EIA now estimates these reserves to be 96% lower than it previously claimed.
Yes, you read that right: 96% lower. As in only 4% of the original estimate is now thought to be technically-recoverable at today's prices.
From 13.7 billion barrels down to 600 million. Using a little math, that means the hoped for 2.8 million jobs become 112k and the $24.6 billion in tax revenues shrink to $984 million.
