The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Meanwhile, don't tell the libs: Have a look at the latest Institute for Supply Management (ISM) numbers. Wow.

ismworld.org - ISM PMI reports

“The Manufacturing PMI® registered 55.5 percent in October, 1 percentage point above the September figure of 54.5 percent. The overall economy expanded for the 24th month in a row. (A Manufacturing PMI® above 47.5 percent, over a period of time, generally indicates an expansion of the overall economy.) The New Orders Index expanded for the 10th consecutive month after four straight readings in contraction, registering 55.5 percent, up 0.2 percentage point compared to September’s figure of 55.3 percent. The October reading of the Production Index (59 percent) is 2.3 percentage points higher than the 56.7 percent recorded in September and the highest since November 2021 (60.5 percent). The Prices Index remained in expansion (or ‘increasing’ territory), registering 75.2 percent, a 2.7-percentage point decrease compared to September’s reading of 77.9 percent. The Backlog of Orders Index registered 54.6 percent, down 1.8 percentage points compared to the 56.4 percent recorded in September. The Employment Index reading of 52.4 percent is down 0.3 percentage point from September’s figure of 52.7 percent,” says Spence.

We're building stuff again. leftists used to support that sort of thing until they went full Islamocommie.
