  1. Turn off MSNBC . Not even a good strawman, goal post pivot. More like how to get around 16. Why would he be a lame duck?
  2. Anything for the win, no matter how many are suffering and slipping more every day. Pathetic but expected.
  3. Crap like this is why team blue does nothing but rage about the orange dude. Cause Biden is a joke/disaster
  4. Inflation hurts consumers Income tax hurts tax payers. Prior to an amendment being passed, this was the way the federal government was ran
  5. Going back to basics. That's how it used to work. That would get us back to demand side economics vs this supply side that's not working for most.
  6. CPI is low. Smh Massive state spending that requires the corps to put money up for the larger tax breaks and federal and state stimulus that comes with it. No worries. As the bubble is artificial. They will peal out as soon as the breaks expire. Solar city/Tesla/stadium in buffalo region ring a bell?
  7. Its pretty easy to see. the massive stimuluses went directly to the investor class, who is doing very well in this economy, based on the GDP and Stocks. While every other quintile suffers. Never mind the steadily growing amount of homeless or old buildings/hotels being converted over to migrant shelters. Its steady profits for whoever own the properties. I dont know about other states, but up here in NY. the Federal rescue plan moneys are what is paying the huge tax deficits. What happens when those run out?
  8. Pretty much lines up with the massive state spending. So ironic they called the one "the inflation reduction act". And the debt chart.....
  9. That open-sourced crap is why it's not a valid reference in any college or high school in the nation.
  10. nationalism is a direct conflict with libertarian views of No borders. (and most of trump's policies and actions) And the left lost the traditional libertarian when it moved to that place where it wants more government involvement. in my opinion.
  11. That's the same argument that could be held for all these "anti colonialist" narratives. Someone was almost always there before. Here it was pre Clovis and Hopewell prior to the natives. A lot of people have no clue the celts actually came from EU. Good reference Or how the Romans destroyed the celts and druids when it invaded Britain. The Picts were an Iron Age people who inhabited the northern and eastern parts of what is now Scotland. They flourished from approximately the fourth century A.D. to the ninth century1. Initially, there was a myth that they were exotic “lost people,” but recent research suggests that they were actually the indigenous population of the region2. The Picts are believed to have originated from Scythia (Scandinavia), settled in Orkney, and then migrated south to what is now Scotland3. Their culture and history can be gleaned from early medieval texts and Pictish stones, although much of their identity was eventually absorbed into Gaelic Scotland
  12. If by that you mean the state is involved in a lot of topics/issues the state has no business in and should be way smaller and held to mandates. Ok I see and hear a lot of kids thinking the state provides and can remove rights. But EU just moved the voting age to 16 and the socialist and corporatist got beat big time. So maybe. The Colorado libertarians came off as wanting the state to provide the rights they agreed with. Still missing the point.
  13. FYI, my score. Your Political Compass Economic Left/Right: -0.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.08
  14. try this one, no pay wall. The Political Compass LOL, libertarian. and the definition of it. the Colorado convention kind of blew that definition out of the water. and by socially left leaning, you mean they believe the government has no role in providing or removing rights? and that they are your own.
  15. opinions by heavily biased people in a heavily biased site. but the point was that article explained what changed since the data you provided.
  16. LMAO. Now what changed in regard to calculating CPI since way back then? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/24/technology/inflation-measure-cpi-accuracy.html
  17. 20 million in investments can have results. like 15-dollar Avocado toast. Socio economic divergence is probably one of the largest indicators of violence/crime. Its also a choice for most. IE, bad results for bad actions. Good results for good actions. Do you support Hockel building the new (old) projects?
  18. You are leaving out the part with the constant robberies, theft and crime that drives losses and traffic. Businesses go though great lengths to get cheap labor. But are not setting up shop in low income areas where there is less wage pressure. If talking basic business economics And you (like usual) flew right past the point on Dems making more projects and hoovervilles. The owners will make out fine
  19. meh, more like libertarian. lol
  20. The rising homeless population cannot eat the stock market. The investor class and wall street are the only ones prospering in this economy.
  21. Thats still double the feds mandate for inflation. Wall street is acting like they are going to follow suit with the EU and cut rates.? Pretty much giving the middle finger to the poor, fixed and working classes (and main street). And doesn't include energy or Food. you know, things that take up a large portion of peoples incomes.
  22. The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) was unchanged in May on a seasonally adjusted basis, after rising 0.3 percent in April, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 3.3 percent before seasonal adjustment. More than offsetting a decline in gasoline, the index for shelter rose in May, up 0.4 percent for the fourth consecutive month. The index for food increased 0.1 percent in May. The food away from home index rose 0.4 percent over the month, while the food at home index was unchanged. The energy index fell 2.0 percent over the month, led by a 3.6-percent decrease in the gasoline index. The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.2 percent in May, after rising 0.3 percent the preceding month. Indexes which increased in May include shelter, medical care, used cars and trucks, and education. The indexes for airline fares, new vehicles, communication, recreation, and apparel were among those that decreased over the month. The all items index rose 3.3 percent for the 12 months ending May, a smaller increase than the 3.4-percent increase for the 12 months ending April. The all items less food and energy index rose 3.4 percent over the last 12 months. The energy index increased 3.7 percent for the 12 months ending May. The food index increased 2.1 percent over the last year. https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm
