@mattsjwallace Way to go Matt! Loved watching you chase up the leaderboard Friday and Saturday and your strong chase on Sunday. Excited to see this momentum carry forward over the next few weeks. Keep the faith as your game is looking really dangerous heading into this stretch of the season
The infamous Hurricane Hunters just had one of the wildest flights in history today.
Flying straight into the heart of Category 5 Hurricane Melissa, a Lockheed Martin C-130J Hercules aircraft, call sign TEAL 75, was slammed by violent turbulence
The G-forces were so extreme they may have stressed the aircraft’s frame, forcing the crew to abort the mission and return to base in Curaçao for inspection.
Inside Melissa’s eyewall, the C-130J was thrown hundreds of feet up and down in seconds, nearly 700 feet of vertical motion within a single minute.
The crew also reported that the eyewall had a “sawtooth” appearance, an indicator of the storm’s chaotic and extreme structure.
Yet even amid chaos, the crew captured historic data, a central pressure of 893 mb and astonishing wind gust of 252 mph just above the surface, setting a world record for the highest wind gust ever measured by dropsonde in a hurricane.
The plane then spent more than 35 minutes circling inside the eye of one of the most violent storms ever observed in the Atlantic, searching for a path out of the hurricane that wasn’t filled with lightning and extreme turbulence.
These brave men and women risked their lives, without pay, to gather critical data that helped forecast the track and intensity of Melissa.
A legendary plane ride that will go down in history.
@mattsjwallace@omegaEUmasters This is awesome, Matt! Best wishes for a fun filled week and a strong finish in defending your title. We’ll be pulling hard for you this weekend!
I’m watching the President on CNBC and the mistruths and misinformation about the BLS have to stop! There is nothing political at all about the revisions, no matter how large. This resides somewhere between a witch hunt and a sham. The problem lies with the depleted business response rate in the first payroll survey (58% - was over 80% pre-Covid) which then rises to the normal 94% by the final revision. That’s the story. The data are only as reliable as the sample size, and that has nothing to do with the BLS but rather the tardiness of the U.S. business sector in getting its updated staffing levels to the Bureau on time.
@mattsjwallace Great finish today! If we’re speaking of miracles, that finishing putt on 9 was nothing short of miraculous! Here’s to that being the sign of a big day tomorrow
Yes, the BLS report is especially noisy on a monthly basis, but this softness is not a shocker. The ISM, Indeed and ADP employment data provided by the private sector all confirm what the BLS report says this morning.
And despite people shrugging off ADP every month it's remarkably similar on a YoY basis to the BLS report.
Former BLS Commissioner.
Was appointed by President Trump.
And long-standing Heritage Foundation before that.
I have yet to see a single economist (not working for the Trump administration) defend this senseless and egregious act.
If you thinking Powell cutting the Fed Funds Rate is going to solve anything, you don’t understand how bond markets work.
Powell wrongly cut by 100 bps this time last year, and all it did was RAISE the 10 Year Yield by 100 bps.
Nobody borrows based off the Fed Funds Rate. That’s for commercial banks overnight. Not for your home loan.
You want lower 10 Year Yields?
1) Remove tariffs and bring inflation down.
2) And stop borrowing $4T per year.
Everything else is a waste of time.
@mattsjwallace Great start, Matt! “Wally” and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and your team yesterday during the pro am. You guys provided “Wally” with an unbelievable experience at his first PGA tour event. Can’t thank you all enough! Here’s to continued stellar play through weekend 🍻
Well, Section 453 was approved yesterday.
It provides pesticide companies, including giants like Bayer/Monsanto and Syngenta, with near-total protection from lawsuits, even when their products are later implicated in causing harm.
This is NOT making America great again!
@RepNancyMace Great, really appreciate you and every other so called conservative pushing even closer to bankruptcy as a nation. Why can’t we get anyone in Washington that has the courage to bring about meaningful fiscal discipline to address our deficit spending addiction
