pelespirit@sh.itjust.worksOPto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL- The idea of how much you can afford to buy with your income is called “real income.” And if real income falls, that’s called a recession.English1·2 hours agoDid you see my first crack at it? I would love your input. I think the “Real GDP” might be not adjusted for inflation? I can’t tell.

Like for the Big Mac Index by the Economist listed. the price of a Big Mac doesn’t say much about the income levels of who is buying it. It seems to be more focused on the cost of production instead of the person buying it. Minimum wage is still so low across the country and hasn’t been raised for so long, that the price could be kept low. Again, not an economist, but that’s my insecure take.

Deported persons in El Salvador
In February 2025, Rubio met with El Salvador president Nayib Bukele and reached an agreement for the country to take in deported foreign nationals who committed crimes, in addition to jailed U.S. citizens and permanent residents.[246][247] Rubio praised the agreement as a way of rehousing deportees and American prisoners in a two-year-old Salvadoran “mega-prison”.[248][249]

pelespirit@sh.itjust.worksOPto Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•White House Embarrassingly Holds 'Press Briefing' Full of MAGA InfluencersEnglish1·2 hours agoThis is a great article and another reason I’m so mad at the media. The headline is Tim Pool Podcast Reportedly Joins the White House Press Pool. If you don’t know who he is, you think it’s a boring article on the dude they hired, not the true POS he is. Your headline would be great.
Last year, an indictment from the U.S. Justice Department alleged that Pool and others had been paid by a Russian influence operation that sought to capitalize on anti-Ukrainian sentiment and seed it into the U.S. population through rightwing media. After the indictment dropped, Pool tweeted that he’d had no idea about the Russian affiliation. “That being said, we still do not know what is true as these are only allegations,” Pool said in a post on X. “Putin is a scumbag, Russia sucks donkey balls.” He later deleted the tweet.

pelespirit@sh.itjust.worksOPMto Politics@sh.itjust.works•[Quarterly] May 1st, 2025 - S&P 500 vs. Real Income ComparisonEnglish1·1 hour agoLink to discussion: https://sh.itjust.works/post/37087516/18335928
Someone wanted to put in a comparison to the S&P vs the “Real Income” or Cost of Living which is shown in the GDP. I offered to make it, but I don’t think this is right. This might be too visually cluttered and I’m not positive the first source is great.
All suggestions are welcome because I’m not an economist.
Note: To the trolls, saying it’s wrong without suggestions will get you a time out.

Do you have any ideas on what that would like like? The Econ professor in the video said the real income is aka GDP. He was loosely speaking though, so I don’t know if that’s a one to one. I guess I could put something up and people will tell me how it’s wrong? I don’t mind that.
pelespirit@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•New York makes it easier to commit people with severe mental illnesses31·4 hours agoHe’s probably behind this so he can send more US citizens to the camps.
pelespirit@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•Mike Waltz accidentally reveals obscure app the government is using to archive Signal messages19·4 hours agoSure. You are legally required to archive all correspondence by approved by our security departments software, not a corporate app that shares the info with corporations and are on unsecured servers. Our security warned them to not do this and they did it anyway.
Also, do you remember “but her emails” for Hillary Clinton? That was because she used a private app for some of her emails. She wasn’t using it to wage a war.
Lemme get this straight
It’s a problem for the government to use signal because all govt correspondence needs to be on record and retrievable in the future
But it’s also a problem to use archiving of encrypted chats?
Not an American, can someone explain?
pelespirit@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a good Lemmy community to ask more deeper questions about societal topics (that can be potentially emotionally charged)?7·5 hours agoMake as many accounts as you want. In fact, it’s sort of encouraged because you want a back up if one of your instances go down.
Do you have memories as a kid where it was pure fun and no expectations? I honestly think that there are 4 types of personalities that people lean towards:
Dogs, dog owners, dog guardians and cats
-
The dogs just want to have fun, work hard for their owners and play in the back yard.
-
The dog and cat owners can be cruel, great, fun, abusive, etc., but always have rules that the dog is constantly trying to guess what they are. The cat doesn’t care.
-
The dog and cat guardians are gudes to everyone around them
-
The cats are what everyone knows about cats.
The dogs and the dog/cat guardians look for meaning in their life.

I might be up for doing that here on Lemmy locally once a month or so.
Genuine answer, I have no idea.
