So I spent some time looking into this wage increase stuff and I did find this fun chart with inflation adjusted wages growing 2% in the last 5 years, that’s pretty paltry compared to the corporate profit increases. I’d bet that power imbalance is a large factor in consumer sentiment falling against otherwise good looking economic data.
By that logic we should only read last months data and forget the rest of history, but in reality people have memories and incorporate previous experience in their sentiment.
12 months is a poor timeframe to use for inflation when the most relevant data to consumers today is 2021-2022, and again fuel is required to function in the US which I don’t see in CPI making it a poor indicator for real finances. Really though my point is metrics can be manipulated to sound good or bad but ignoring consumer sentiment is foolish for a politician seeking to be elected by those consumers.
Which inflation rate are you quoting, the true rate including food and fuel or an abstraction that ignores those inelastic categories?

No citations and more outlandish claims. So I’ll put a little math here. From the first google results aluminum scraps around $0.44/lb and a smaller engine block is about 300lb which comes out to $132, not including heads manifolds, pistons etc.
An engine would scrap for more than $100 you’ll have to cite that figure to make it believable.
Why include avocado and brown rice over protein rich foods like tempeh or seitan?

Unfortunately cpuc has done nothing but allow rate increases, last I checked sdge has the most expensive rates in the continental us. Considering that with how shit the service has been I’d bet they are using that cash to pay regulators. I don’t expect this to go far but I hope it does because fuck sdge and cpuc
And when trump is elected I’m sure they won’t do everything in their power to arm Israel to the teeth with horrific weapons to use on those kids /s
There’s no incentive for US automakers to build cheaper EVs from this. This is just protectionism which is fine when China is subsidizing their production past the point of profitability, but this will still work against making American EVs more affordable.
Can’t wait to see how they stop the pedal from physically getting stuck in full throttle through software 🍿
After my naga died I went for the swiftpoint z because my hands are too big to use half the buttons on most other mmo mice. It’s way too expensive but easily the best mouse I’ve ever owned.
Yea they intentionally add chloramines which have a range of health issues, but it kills the biohazards so they do it to prevent outbreaks of waterborne diseases.
Seems like a lot of work compared to just using an ro filter, but I also live in an area where you shouldn’t drink the tap because of the crap they put in it.
Fun fact calcium carbonate dissolves quickly in acidic solutions, like say stomach acid.
That’s a lot of psychopathic assumptions I’m just going to pretend you didn’t say. The point is the reality for most is dire and your clearly more interested in winning the conversation than understanding those shitheads on social media are only getting views because they are validating real problems in the economy.
You’re mistaken, I already live 45 minutes from my job. Moving further from that would be untenable because it would increase my commute by another 30 minutes which wouldn’t leave enough time for me to care for my father in the area.
Yes tie your hands while your opponent cleans their gun
