mastershakeman posted:i just had to help my friend figure out the ACA website, they still hide the plan view w/o making an account because they dont want people just able to see financial numbers! he's potentially switching jobs to a startup that doesn't offer healthcare and trying to figure out the math on it I recently had to do this for myself when switching to contract work and jesus christ it was a loving confusing process. And then when we finally did settle on a provider the actual price was still different than the ACA website showed and the insurance provider, one we had for years anyway made us go through a totally different web portal to pay for everything vs the normal site where we do our copays and poo poo anyway. Also we don't really know what we are paying because we don't know what tax benefits we will get until everything settles with taxes bc i dont know if i crossed a threshhold or not.

Special Report: Tesla workers shared sensitive images recorded by customer cars https://www.reuters.com/technology/tesla-workers-shared-sensitive-images-recorded-by-customer-cars-2023-04-06/ “ Also shared: crashes and road-rage incidents. One crash video in 2021 showed a Tesla driving at high speed in a residential area hitting a child riding a bike, according to another ex-employee. The child flew in one direction, the bike in another. The video spread around a Tesla office in San Mateo, California, via private one-on-one chats, “like wildfire,” the ex-employee said.”

Thank you all for the thoughtful responses! (Except Thorn!) I suppose I should have narrowed down what I meant, as I am thankfully already familiar with Marxism, dialectical materialism, Dick Wolff Da Based God, and sorta like the broader ideas of how and why ""'the economy""' and debt and line-go-up all have the logic they have. I tend to already look at politics and econ stuff from the perspective of "what are the lying dunces at the podium of capital trying to pull over on labor, and what dumb, incorrect formal exercises are they engaging in to avoid addressing the root causal contradictions that are ruining the world." I know the game is rigged and I have a fair sense of how, why, and by whom. I think these things aren't actually all that mystifying on a basic reality level, but the profiteers of capital have invented a hundred thousand techniques and languages and financial instruments to mystify it and to magic extra zeroes out of the ether by, like, collecting a hundred instances of people betting on how a dozen bets will be bet on and putting them all in the same manilla envelope and calling it a sure thing (SOMEONE'S gotta win in that envelope!) and selling it to people as an investment and then ten years later the economy chokes on its own vomit again. I more meant, like, literally how do I read a tweet like this: https://twitter.com/DeItaone/status/1643954369795072005?t=_tbuivdl5mG4C5rTHmD1mA&s=19 Do they think that's good? Do they think it's bad? What do the abbreviations mean? They've chosen to convey this information, I am trying to discern what that info is, why they are conveying it, what they think it means, and what it actually means. Or like, a tweet like that will say MONEY MARKETS $123, WAS $133, EST $154 and like idk what a money market is but I know I've heard that term a lot lately. I don't know if it's good that they're up or down or different from estimations (or who thinks it's good, and why, rather).

SlimGoodbody posted:I more meant, like, literally how do I read a tweet like this: i don't see what's hard about that? Initial Jobless Claims = New filing for jobless = new people laidoff (vs ppl continuing to be jobless) 228k = 228,000 new claims as of reporting versus 198,000 previous new claims from last reporting (monthly?) EST 200k = Estimate by 'experts' was it was 'only' going to be 200,000 claims. result: there are 28,000 new jobless claims over last month and exceeds expectations = america is doing badly Continuing jobless claims = continued filing that ppl are jobless 1,823,000 is actual real numbers as of current reporting 1,689,000 was previous numbers as of last reporting (monthly?) EST 1700k = Estimate by 'experts' was only to have 1,700,000 continued claims result: there are +134,000 continued jobless claims before and more than +123,000 than expected = america is doing badly result, more people are unemployed, more people getting laid off, more people are staying unemployed. economy = sick when you see EST it's "Estimate by Experts/Government/etc" something like "MONEY MARKETS $123, WAS $133, EST $154" is pretty straight forward. "Experts" proclaimed that Number was going to go up from $133/share -> $154/share, aka 15% increase. instead it went down $133 -> $123, aka 8% drop. economy = sick, experts wrong once again and gaslighting people Xaris has issued a correction as of 10:29 on Apr 7, 2023 |

SlimGoodbody posted:
Whether the person tweeting something is good or bad generally comes down to their ideology. For example to a normal person, the number of unemployed people going up is bad because it means more people struggling financially and a weaker economy. To the fed and to capital in the current situation however it's good because they're trying to intentionally cause a recession in order to suppress wages and punish workers for briefly getting an iota of bargaining power, more unemployed equals less bargaining power for labour.

Xaris posted:i don't see what's hard about that? The result on the market was rather neutral though since even through employment is slowing, it doesn't seem like it is enough to force the Fed to stop raising rates. Bullard, specifically threw water on the idea that anything was going wrong. It is likely there will be a recession, but the effect may not be exactly like 2008-9. You may not exactly have a mass rise in unemployment and a complete meltdown but the Fed desperately trying to keep a lid on the situation as the economy stagnates and inflation persists. One thing is that the government is making it clear it is going to bail everyone out no matter how bad it is, but, that is going to implicitly weaken the dollar so it locks the Fed into potentially more rate rises. The country is slowly sinking into quicksand.

I don't know if it's good that they're up or down or different from estimations (or who thinks it's good, and why, rather). something else that helps with context is looking these numbers up on a aggregator like TradingEconomics.com. Note that on Trading Economics "Consensus" is the same thing as "Est" on Bloomberg tweets, and "Forecast" is TradingEcononic's own prediction. You can click through on any of the stats to see how often they're reported, and generate graphs of historical data for reference. It also lays out the calendar for when new data are released. In about 5 minutes we'll get more JOBS numbers

how about the actual numbers instead of just the predictions economy added fewer jobs than expected, which makes Capital happy, but unemployment unexpectedly ticked down, as did average workweek hours, while labor force participation rate increased.
