Very nice. Thank you for sharing!

That data is made of averages which aren’t worth a lot when you discuss people’s feelings about the economy, and also not everyone is getting a raise equally. Many don’t get one at all and those people are definitely still dealing with prices being higher.
Additionally, the cumulative rate of inflation over the last four years is over 20%, so unless my annual salary rises to be at least that much higer than it was four years ago then my real buying power has still decreased. It doesn’t matter that the average raise is outpacing inflation if I never receive enough raises to at least keep up.
States with laws that are hostile to workers - as mine is - make it hard to find employment where your employer will increase your pay to at least track inflation. This kind of thing gets lost in the discussion of averages.
Just because a person might have a wealthy neighbor while they live in poverty doesn’t really mean that, on average, everyone is doing fine. It still means some are still hurting.
From the article:
Though the central bank now believes inflation is largely defeated, many Americans remain upset with still-high prices for groceries, gas, rent and other necessities.
The comment on this article that you were originally responding to was most certainly one of frustration with this situation, not one aimed at the Fed’s decisions about interest rates. I feel that frustration too.
It kinda doesn’t matter if the Fed made every single right move if this was still the outcome for a large swath of America. People are going to be voicing frustration every time an article about the economy is posted.
I have an B.S. in Economics, by the way.
Okay, but only if he lives on a vegan diet.
Inflation may have fallen, but prices haven’t. Additionally, my annual pay is still $12k below where it should be had it only kept up with inflation over the last four years, no raises included.
Anecdotal data isn’t worth much, but I think it’s clear that Americans largely feel the same pressures.
You could always just do a plate that’s customized to the SBC layout, like what you’d get with a PC motherboard.
This was an underlying plot point in Metal Gear Solid 2.
Oh, yes. That’s how I originally saw it.
They weren’t necessarily in the right either. They wounded a couple of bystanders in the process.
Maddrey said the officers followed the man, each firing a Taser which proved ineffective in subduing the man. He then exited the train while it was still at the station and charged the officers with the knife, the chief said.
What, it’s not a good idea to do that now?
It’s not the tanning lights?
Or ever have a different car or haircut upon subsequent visits
Not for the upper managers though, right? I’ve also had clearances, and I know about some shocking things that some of the government managers did while never so much as being investigated for them.
Contractors are different though.
I honestly had to think about it for a hot second first because people talk mad shit about AOC as you said
AOC called Stein unserious, so the clown comment is about Stein.
Firing squads have some guns that are loaded as blanks so nobody is really sure who fired the fatal shot, and in the case of Trump I think this is unfair to the people firing the guns.
I don’t think it was a bluff, unfortunately. Neither do I think they should not criticize the Republicans for their behavior.
That bill was a super republican bill, I honestly do not know why the Democrats keep bragging about this as if every “bipartisan” bill has merit.
I’ve been attempting to respond to your original comment. The Democrats are not using this to brag. They are using it to highlight the failures of the Republican party.
I walked around knocking on doors in an unfriendly neighborhood for Bernie Sanders, so you don’t need to talk to me about criticizing Democrats or wanting them to move left.
That’s doing that locally on your device, not on the carrier network. It’s definitely a good solution for this problem though.
