NASA’s Parker solar probe just completed one of its primary multi-year mission objectives, with the closest ever approach to the Sun. On Christmas eve the probe flew through the Sun’s corona at a blistering (literally and figuratively) 430,000 mph. For aircraft buffs, that’s Mach 560 – fast enough to circle the Earth in about 3 minutes!A faint signal from Parker indicates that it survived its scorching flyby, and scientists are expecting it to download a treasure trove of data later this month.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics published its October report, and its last report turned out to be a tad bit off. The job numbers expected for September had to be revised down by almost 90,000 jobs. October didn’t fair any better. Isn’t it funny how those numbers are always revised down and never up?

It’s just a few days before the end of the 2024 campaign, and we’re finally learning where Bidenomics leads. The Bureau of Labor Statistics published its October report, and its final report before the election turned out to be a tad bit off. The job numbers expected for October had to be revised down by almost 90,000 jobs. Isn’t it funny how those numbers are always revised down and never up?
