    This is the inflation thread. You, and others, keep bringing politician’s names into it. I’m a both sides money printing disrespectooooor.

    Ok, well I searched real wages on the Fred site and this is what I found. you’ll see at the top the Q1 2024 value is 365. In Q1 2020, on the brink of Covid, it was 367. So it’s been flat for 4 years. I will admit I’m too lazy to look up how Fed calculates real earnings, but I’m guessing it uses CPI or some derivative. If you’re understating or underweighting inflation, especially in things people actually want, then you will have artificially inflated real earnings. I suspect this is what the less rosy picture that people see is based on.

    It’s a CNN poll. Is the “right wing media sphere” of Fox News so pervasive that it sways 70% people’s minds against the self-evident truth? Who you going to believe? Me, or your lying eyes? This is essentially economic gaslighting. What do you mean you’re having a hard time, baby? Look at these official GDP and inflation figures. You’re doing great.

    Too bad the people disagree. They need to check in with some of the posters here. To me, this reads that inflation is underreported on the things people actually need. Because unemployment levels are good. GDP is increasing. What else explains the dissatisfaction ?

    Wait, there’s a crypto thread?

    Not to threadjack, but this is silly. You never say diabetic patient? Cardiac patient? Anemic patient? Why tiptoe around it? Besides, I prefer HEB+

    Sure it does. That’s when we fully transitioned to a fiat standard. No restriction on the ability to print.

    US deficit fiscal year 2023 was $1.7T. Raising revenue from 16.2% of GDP to 18%, the top of the range, would gain $500B. Projected inflation in G7 countries in 2024. From the IMF Uk 2.6 USA 2.9 Italy 1.7 France 2.4 Germany 2.4 Canada 2.6 Japan 2.2 https://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/PCPIPCH@WEO/WEOWORLD/VEN

    There’s a recent proposal to increase the capital gains tax, which would also include unrealized gains.
  12. lucious leftfoot
    That will be a problem. Rates where there are means $1.7T dollars in interest over the next 12 months. Total tax revenue was $4.44T in 2023.

    I think you may have leaned on your confirmation bias to put so much extra sauce on this single sentence. I read this as simply meaning "conservative". Now, I did read it as a negative. You didn't say it was bad. Do you think it's bad? I'm not sure how you got from thoughts on social and cultural issues to "dumb viewpoints that are not factually based". A lot of that is opinion and value based. Thus, the rub.

    So? There's also a large portion that have about as progressive views as you can. I thought diversity was a good thing. I would put diversity of thought in that bucket as well. In an ideal world, universities encourage that sort of thing.

    Since this is a news thread, could I get a link to how many skulls were cracked?

    Congrats to Xavier! He went to the coach that will best utilize his unique skillset. Still shocked that a main rival with need at the same position gave the Chiefs the opportunity to pick him up. What are they doing?

    I'd like to remind everyone upset here and wanting to withhold money that your money spent on football tickets and other things such as merchandise supports the University President and BOR. Be mindful of the dollars and attention you're giving the University. If you feel leadership's values don't align with yours then make the right move and vote with your wallets.

    Crypto? No thanks. That’s just for scammers and criminals like countries trying to evade sanctions

    Fascism is a political ideology, ergo a discussion/accusation of it is CR. Literally. Take it somewhere else.
  21. lucious leftfoot
    These people are whack jobs. Not worth citing tbh. I'm guessing all criminal trespassing?
  22. lucious leftfoot
    Well, I mean if takes a little too much. Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. Just wet your beak a little, Looch.

    This sucks. The way things have been going nationally with protests, there was bound to be an overreaction by police somewhere. Unfortunate that it had to be at UT, if this is true. I've only seen a few videos online, but my initial reaction is to be skeptical of what's shared there.
  24. lucious leftfoot
    How funny would it be if Looch got caught skimming money off Aggie NIL? Is he too big to fail in Aggieland?

    Nice gold buttons
