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?

It’s per kg of product so I’m thinking the product is much larger relative to the herd

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.

Can’t wait to see how they stop the pedal from physically getting stuck in full throttle through software 🍿

Yea I don’t know much about the second rev, but the analog buttons and internal gyro are great if you do any driving/flight sim stuff

I haven’t it needs a helper app to configure it and I don’t think there are Linux packages for that.

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.
