So from 1960-1990 (30 years) prices went from about 60 cents to 1.66 per pound for beef. That’s that’s a 270% increase. The median salary went from 5,600 to 29,900. That’s a 533% increase.

From 1990-2020 (30 years, lucky we are skipping covids inflation) prices went from 1.66 to 3.18. that’s 191% increase. Wages went from 29,000 in 1990 to 68,000 in 2020. That’s 234% increase.

So what we see is a wage to consumer goods ratio decrease from 263% to 43%.

So our economic wealth as a country is managing to increase faster and faster, yet the consumer wealth fell off awhile ago. If you follow the stock market youd see the Dow Jones increased from 2,700 to 30,000 from 1990-2020. So comparably we should see a 1,100% increase, not a 43%.

Granted none of this matters at the end of the day. The fact is, we are producing a fuck ton of products, and fewer and fewer are reaping the rewards of such day after day.

If you evaluate accessibility of things after subtracting the baseline requirements to stay alive it gets real sketchy how close many Americans are getting by.

Inflation got watered down, what do you mean? It’s just math for inflation. Capitalism uses inflation as a tool to expand the economy but at the end of the day by the definition listed on the post they are just saying if your wage doesn’t increase faster than the inflation your life resources are in recession. That’s at least how I read it. If you can’t buy as much shit as you used to, you’re doing worse. Which happens to individuals without happening to everyone, but if the average person can’t buy as much shit as they could before, then it seems like recession is an adequate term.

The U.S. has been in a recession since Reagan according to the wording right? Housing and such vs wages shows its been in downfall since.

There are Republicans who voted to impeach Trump and called him guilty previously, who are still in the Senate. It’s definitely possible, I just dont see them doing it knowing it will make them become targets after the Senate doesn’t remove him

I was impatient so I jumped to 55 seconds, then you still stole about 10 minutes of my day because I can’t understand why I found that so funny

They’d have to flip every Senate seat that is up for vote from here till 2026, and even then it’d be close.

They probably could get enough votes for impeachment, not enough in the Senate to remove him. So it would be career suicide for any Republican to vote to impeach him. As they know there would be retribution for fulfilling their oath.

He also said the economy was going to boom, and I suppose it did.

So many garden projects indoor and outdoor I want to do… never find the time.

Haha, I’m a doof for not realizing I spelled that wrong, though I must say a dog, or hot dog rather, is a sandwich. Although your original point was for the bread. So yeah I don’t think I’d care for using a sliced hot dog as the outside of a Sandwich. I suppose if cutting bread out of your diet slicing a polish sausage down the middle and putting sourcrout and such might be decent, albeit very messy.

Yikes. I was confused about the greasy part as well but I didn’t know I was supposed to break up with my partner for it. What if they bring begals because they thought the bread was for breakfast sandwiches? I am curious just how over tolerant I have been, lol

Don’t forget to add in the vitamin D. Otherwise I won’t absorb enough calcium.

Unfortunately I don’t actually drink milk anymore. Maybe I get a gallon every few months.

Isn’t that the guy that got several people killed at his own show and didn’t give a fuck?

Cat.

My partner says I might be on the list, but the cat is there.

What does fein mean? Is it just shortened feign?

I wanted to make a joke about being an arm to hold onto, but that’s just because my spelling doesn’t have a leg to stand on

Well some products will go down at first, the ones they can’t sell to other countries any more the supply will skyrocket until they cut production to reduce their losses. So perishable things like certain food, will possibly decrease for a season, then will go up higher/possibly “sky rocker” as when you produce less your profits are lower, so they will have to mark them up / some people will just stop farming. The possibility of the bees dying out seems more worrisome than the tarrifs long term though for many foods.

What was the mental illness?

In 2025 a chocolate shake is 5.49 at the sonic near me. I thought that was expensive but compared to this thread apparently inflation on milkshakes hasn’t been to bad. Though I’m pretty sure you can get a $10 shake if you start asking them to add every kind of diabetes candy into it.
