He didn't misread the chart. The chart is cut off in the embed, as WMV noted. Wages overtaking CPI is a good thing. Not sure why you guys are complaining or looking for some sort of negative.

Twerk from Home posted:Wages actually up means that the Fed is going to punish us some more. The fed is caught in a Morton's fork - keep punishing workers and banks fail as collateral damage which hurts rich people*, don't punish workers and wages keep increasing which hurts rich people*. We'll see which way they jump. *they get wealthier slightly slower

Slow News Day posted:He didn't misread the chart. The chart is cut off in the embed, as WMV noted. Because there's no mechanism in this country to prevent the people who run things from saying "WAGES ARE UP, gently caress IT!" and hammering the price gouging button. Exactly like they did when the reports came out in 2020 that workers were saving too much money, and never stopped doing.

If you're one of the investors who control 40% of all single family home rentals in this country, or one of the three giant conglomerates that control the food supply, there's zero reason for you to not keep price gouging as wages go up. No one is going to stop you, and any money consumers have left over after covering food and shelter is just money left on the table that could be yours.

I mean, if CPI increases faster than wages, that means things are getting less affordable. If wages are increasing faster than CPI, that means things are, at least for the time being, getting more affordable. Sure, some companies might price-gouge, and they definitely do. But I think we should celebrate the small wins we do get, shouldn't we?

If we had a government that prevented business from punishing labor and the marketplace for any perceived gains, yeah, that would be nice as has been said here before, Bloomberg told the ruling class three years ago that labor had too much money and they're still pissed off about that

We're still draining the entirety of the SPR aren't we? Going to be fun when that bill comes due. Edit: found the graph and answer 'lol yes and still at a nearly unprecedented rate!' surely this won't be a problem in the near future.

NeonPunk posted:Cross posting from the weather thread You know, the team behind the fallout mod for HOIIV unironically had a chart that said all regions when made had to hold to present day population ratios, so California still had to magically be the most populated state. poo poo like this is why I laughed and said gently caress that when I made map additions, the state is a natural loving desert without quaffing the gently caress out of it with the Colorado and international shipping doesn't exist in post apocalyptic 2275. E: Although they often complain about how many people Mexico has like this and say it should be nerfed so American factions have it easier lmao, they already only get 60% of the manpower due to law nerfs.

Beached Whale posted:It really feels like gaslighting when all of the most important things needed to survive are either omitted entirely from the inflation readings for being too "volatile" such as food, or the numbers are so obviously cooked as to be ridiculous like asking homeowners how much they'd charge themselves for rent, and then bundling that into the rent price statistics. Correct. It's all complete bullshit and I want to cram that water-carrying Wolfers rear end in a top hat right into a dumpster

Monkey Fracas posted:Always hated Bud Lite vs other cheapass adjunct lager Most boycotts fail because the thing being boycotted is difficult to substitute or has some kind of network effects. Macrobrew lager is really uniquely homogeneous, in that for every bud light tap or case on a grocery shelf, there is a near identical substitute product available right next to it that costs the same.

is pepsi ok posted:TikTok's super secret algorithm literally just shows you more of the stuff that you like watching. from way back, but my TikTok is only marginally like this. things I physically hit the like button on may or may not make it into limited rotation for a short time. that random video clip from saving private Ryan I watched 8 seconds of? that’s now 70% of the videos I’ll see for the rest of the day. then it’s a rotation of golf, Tesla, crypto, gym, truckerlife, etc… and you can only block a certain number of hashtags and it just seems to disregard that anyway. then the rest of it is onlyfans ads because I’m apparently incapable of not looking at a nipple and there goes the feed again even though I’ve never hit the like button on any of those. In economics news, as someone that’s been shopping for a new commuter car for a while, the used market is pretty clearly coming down. nowhere near pre pandemic levels but it’s happening and cars are sitting even with massive price cuts.
