breaking right now, the federal reserve is making a decision on which way to go on interest rates, it was supposed to come out within the last 30 seconds, but we have not received a kiss yet. but when it comes to dino cpa, it shows that inflation is continuing to ease but ever so slightly. to the point higher than that thanks 2% goal. it is way down from where it was when president biden took office, at 9%. no i am joking, it was 1.4% when joe biden took office, apparently they are leaving it unchanged, so we will see where that takes the market. the reaction is immediately down. but we will see if things will change throughout the day. so the feds are leaving rates unchanged, at this moment they re talking about the moment to put them up but they talked earlier this year about the ability to bring them down. we ve seen the european central bank cut its interest rates, so maybe some good news on interest rates in the future. gillian: maybe in september. john: suspected
for us at home watching what should we be doing? i think the whole industry is trying to look at this as a broader issue. the idea, number one, is to really look at packaging. how does shipping glass bottles all around the world impact our carbon footprint? i think there s going to be some major changes in packaging in the future. but it s consumers. we just need to be aware of where our products are coming from. can we buy more locally? or can we buy more sustainably in terms of how that product has gotten to our door epp snep. great advice. especially as so many people will be popping bottles tomorrow night for new year s. because tomorrow night is new year s eve, i m just curious what you will be drinking tomorrow night when it s time to bring in the new year? i have to admit that i do have an oregon sparkling wine on my menu for tomorrow night. there are wonderful sparkling wines made throughout wine regions in the united states. if you cannot, for whatever
it speaks to, first of all, this desperation that both you and frank have referenced, and ashley. but it also speaks to the uniqueness of the situation, that we have this special counsel, and i think that trump i know trump isn t directly connected to the allegations. it wasn t long ago in late last summer that he said, we re going to have to hear from him, and then he put it aside. this is thhis chance to get aho of mueller, because they re both really confident at what he does. yes, somebody else would snep if the special counsel was still going. there would be a replacement, bit nobody would be like mueller and i think in a lot of ways this speaks of fear for him.
