You’ve been reading Mao’s Little Red Book, too?

You are officially a "Rightist" now. A few Red Guards will be knocking on your door soon.

He's always been that . . . and he's happy to cop to the charge too.

Was that like Heidi Fliess's's's' book?

If you want to eat pizza, not go to college, and sleep on your mom's couch, I'll accept wages have kept up with inflation.

Sorry for showing data vs. feelings. I'll try and be more like snarl next time.

 

[JamieDimonsBalls]

The point was about productivity and wages. Wages are behind because capital took all the productivity gains.

But my point was that, according to BLS data, that is a more recent phenomenon - at least of statistical significance. I agree the long-term trend has been all about productivity, mostly enabled by technology gains, but over the past decade or so, they tracked much closer together.

I took your earlier post to conflate earnings and productivity. That's how much little I know.

It's an argument the data is sh#t, because they have changed how the measured inflation over time.

My argument is that your feelings suck. So there.

I’ll add a data point to your argument then. Go f#ck yourself 😂

Data point? That thar is a period. End of sentence type.

Again I don’t think that’s the issue. To me it’s the floor becoming too high for too large a percentage of the country to meet.

The floor? You don't care about the floor. All you care about is the 50K cars and the 400K houses and the 2K childcare. You need to go find a trailer park and talk to some people about "floors".

I think y'all might be in violent agreement.

Not true in the least. None of this really impacts my life. I couldn’t afford a boat before and still can’t. My point is that high inflation is worse for the country than a couple points on unemployment. That’s my opinion and take. I have no idea if it’s accurate

 

[JamieDimonsBalls]

Not necessarily shittier. Too many refuse to be satisfied with what they have. That's been the key to my contentment.

There’s probably some middle ground here. Historically, high inflation impacts the poor more than wealthy or middle class because they frequently are spending their entire income. If that income can get less, they may not be able to eat as much (probably not a bad thing for most), eat as healthy, swing Disney on Ice, etc.

But you are dead on snot materialism and stuff

 

[ButHerEmails]

Yeah, that's nuts. Lots of old grannys here in the trailer park watching kids for cheap.

Probably a granny tranny grooming all those kids.
