News@lemmy.world•US inflation rose to 3.8% in April, eroding Americans’ paychecks
11·2 days agoI don’t know where you’re getting this infinite growth idea. No one believes that or actually thinks that’s possible. You’re alluding to the fact that each CEO of a company cuts and cuts so that each quarter they can show growth but that has nothing to do with macroeconomics.
When people have money, they spend it. There are hundreds of years of consumer data to support that. The discovery of oil, the gold rush, the industrial revolution and countless other examples of periods of excess wealth that creates lots of jobs and lots of spending. You are also mentioning buying houses and multiple cars and stuff; that represents like 3% of the world population and shouldn’t even be brought up.
Also keep in mind we’re talking about real human beings. People with families and parents they need to take care of. It is only natural for a government to do what it can to minimize the effects of inflation so that people don’t go hungry or lose their jobs.

47·2 days agoIt doesn’t rely on ever growing economy. Again it’s normal. Ups and downs are normal. When demand pulls back due to high prices the economy is suppose to shrink, thereby going through something like a reset. The government tries to prevent that because people get mad when they lose their jobs and vote out whoever is in power at the time.
It is basic economics it has nothing to do with my ideology or ideas. You should check your ego because you think that every single country is dumber than you and hasn’t figured out how to balance their economies. Trust me you are not the first person on the planet to think about how to minimize or eliminate inflation.

84·2 days agoIt is natural. It’s something that is suppose to happen in a healthy economy. When businesses do well, they should increase wages, when wages increases demand for goods and services increases and supply decreases, when supply decreases cost goes up. That is inflation. It is normal when things are going correctly.
Currently everything is shitty and the Fed is throwing money at the economy to keep us out of a recession. They’ve been doing that since trumps first term and it’s the reason our debt is out of control.
After you add property taxes and home insurance what’s your payement? You pay that yearly or monthly so it’s disingenuous not to count it
Separating the taxes doesn’t mean it doesn’t count. It is an additional payment or cost you have associated with your house. Not counting it in your mortgage cost is not being truthful.
After taxes and insurance your house costs you roughly $1450/month. More expensive than the example tweet and I guarantee you have a fantastic rate, probably 3.8% or lower.
It is extremely reasonable for a lender to assume that if a person struggles with rent, that they will struggle even more to pay a mortgage.
Side note nice job paying every 2 weeks. Great way to pay extra and pay less interest.

2·3 days agoI’m a bit confused but my understanding is they updated the TOS. The new terms say it is at the discretion of the president if he wants to offer the phone for sale or not

Well if we’re actually going to be honest nowhere in the US is there a $950 mortgage. My mortgage is 2k for a $250k house so 1k mortgage would literally be living in a slum.
It is literally like being told you can leave work early and still get paid.

Hello I’m a software engineer for this knife! Kitchenaid’s newest model, the Ultrasonic Edge™! It is forged with self-healing nano-steel from Japan, the blade can automatically correct small edge imperfections over time, keeping it razor sharp longer than a traditional knife. The button on the handle cycles through several prep modes to assist in slicing and dicing. My favorite is heated mode which heats the blade to 28 C to assist in slicing frozen meats and vegetables. The knife occasionally receives software updates through its charging block, adding new cutting profiles and improving its internal motion sensors that track hand positioning and cutting rhythm. Tiny embedded LEDs along the spine glow softly to indicate blade temperature, battery life, or sanitation status after UV self-cleaning cycles. If you don’t have access to internet we can send you a usb device to install the software updates remotely. If you have any questions feel free to ask!
You need to decide what you care about. If the plastic part is important to you just use any bar soap. It’ll clean your head just fine. However shampoo is meant to not only clean but moisturize and protect your scalp so it often has oils and stuff in it. The oils is what makes it runny and not really able to maintain a bar shape. You could just as easily use a bar soap and add scalp moisturizer after you shower but that would just be another plastic bottle.

2·9 days agoCongratulations on being a bot. I’ll engage you this once and block you.
No one said she was a good candidate. The alternative that we currently have is a convicted felon, convicted rapist, and at the bare minimum was associated with one of the biggest pedophile sex trafficking ring that has ever been discovered with hundreds of testimonies that he engaged in sexual acts with trafficked minors. Idk what kind of mental state you’re in to think that Kamala did not deserve your vote (if you are even American which I doubt) but in no universe is Trump an acceptable alternative. IDC what mental gymnastics you come up with to say she was unfit to serve because it doesn’t matter. The alternative is UNIVERSES worse. If the last year hasn’t proven that to you than god help you because you are mentally unwell and should seek help.

I’m glad I’m not the only one. Maybe they couldn’t stop it from driving it out of business but I don’t see how that’s possible. Like you said just turn it off
