You claim to understand this, but then repeatedly go to anecdotal examples of single items in local scopes. I'm happy you did well in the past few years, but that again is an anecdotal example.

When I view the state of broad, complex systems, I don't look to anecdotes. I choose metrics that speak to the scope I'm talking about. Inflation is rising slower than wages. Broadly speaking, the prices of the things we buy are rising slower than the amount of income we are earning to pay for those things. That means people can buy more than they could in year's past, and their approval of that state of things is being reflected in the job approval ratings for our current President.

Your side screwed the pooch and were voted out of power for their abject failure. It is too early to declare victory, but so far I am liking what the new cooks are preparing in the kitchen. We'll see how it comes out.

Ok, I’ll slow down.

My anecdote speaks to support for claim of rising incomes. I saw the income rise you’re talking about. The game has completely changed tho. What once was is not as it is now. MAGA has gambled our future on Elon Musk. The dudes kid wiped boogers on the resolute desk in front of the rapist. I’m baffled by your confidence in a guy that latched his wagon to you weeks before the election. You guys are winging it. Wild!

Prices are already rising, eggs will go up more. Add the brunt of pain caused by tariffs and you got yourself a very expensive mess on your hands.

You voted for this. The rapist has told you there will be pain. You will feel the pain, let’s see how much you can take.

Huh. Will you look at that.

Many commonly purchased goods and services got more expensive in January, driving inflation in the wrong direction and to its highest rate since June of last year.

Yes. Inflation is up 3%, but when paired with the wage numbers released a few days ago showing that wages are up 4%, it means Americans have more money in their pockets. That is a far cry from the 9% inflation under Biden, with stagnant wages.

I could really use some dog bites and cheap groceries right now. I just can’t afford this Trump *** clown and his cult following anymore. I get it I get it gulf of America is funny. But my wallet was much better off a few months ago than now. Now consumers are paying out of their asses for groceries. Real Americans just can’t afford Trump.

Well trump is an idiot so........
 
The official Democrat position now seems to be that they are in favor of waste, fraud and abuse, endless war, killing babies and child mutilation. Does that about sum it up?

If Trump is an idiot, what does that make his followers?

Old white men who just want things to go back to the way they were when they felt important.

Sorry I've had to eat lunch with a handful of 60+ white dudes who are over the moon about what Trump is up to this whole week. As I've mentioned before, jazzfanz is the place where I talk about politics, work is NOT. I just keep my head down and eat my sandwich.
