On this day, you do not know what you do not know.
Thursday, October 17, 2024 is a great day for the federal government. Today, the federal government currently has 93 documents from 42 agencies (160 Pages) with 78 Notices, 4 Presidential Documents, 2 Proposed Rules, 9 Rules, and 3 Significant Document. With this current issue, Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 201 / Thursday, October 17, 2024 / Notices is up to page 83760. The federal government is busy. Imagine how much your State or Local Governments have been up to lately.
According to the US Debt Clock at roughly 9:00 AM, the US debt is roughly $35,710,687,000,000. It seems that the debt per taxpayer is $271,189. The good news is that the federal government revenue is roughly $4,944,215,000,000. Not too shabby if you ask me.
Special Note: Interest of Debt (Net) is $969,902,000,000.
Something interesting for the day:
From Spaceweather.com, “INCREASING CHANCE OF FLARES: New sunspot 3856 has developed a 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that harbors energy for strong explosions. NOAA forecasters estimate an 80% chance of M-class flares and a 20% chance of X-flares on Oct. 17th. The sunspot is directly facing Earth, so any flares will be geoeffective.

Amazing website with great information about the Earth-Sun environment.
If you are not too busy today, then buy a shirt or two.
