Is Roller Mobster from a game?? I love this track, if someone put CB in their game I gotta try it

I mean yeah, you yourself are here arguing the wrong facts, and I assume you consider yourself educated. You think a high school graduate in Iowa is going to have received financial literacy education? I severely doubt it.
I also am actually going with the fact that the data you gave me is highly partisan in nature. Republicans are in another reality man. I think we’d be doing ourselves a disservice falling for their talking points.
I don’t really think that the Gallup poll you linked refutes Carter’s point, actually. Gallup and Carter are examining completely different data, and honestly, Gallup doesn’t make a claim about what the cause is for these findings.
The poll states that 68% of Americans thought in December that the economy was worsening. But looking a little further, actually 64% of Democrats thought it was getting better, compared to only 8% of Republicans. It kind of feels like this is the actual information we should be concerned with in the poll, and that you’re only giving me part of the information for some reason.
Regarding the CPI, it does track food and beverage as a core category.
https://bls.gov/CPI/questions-and-answers/
The CPI represents all goods and services purchased for consumption by the reference population (U or W). BLS has classified all expenditure items into more than 200 categories, arranged into eight major groups (food and beverages, housing, apparel, transportation, medical care, recreation, education and communication, and other goods and services). Included within these major groups are various government-charged user fees, such as water and sewerage charges, auto registration fees, and vehicle tolls.
I agree we have a lot of work to do still, but I’m sure we can also agree that a significant portion of Americans are also not very informed and generally make poor financial choices.
You said the reason people are upset is that
the economy is not good for them. It’s really that simple. Shit is expensive and most people did not get pay raises. Most of the ones that did get raises haven’t gotten enough to tackle the increases in food, rent, and utility prices.
The article states however that
Even accounting for inflation, wages are higher today than they were before the coronavirus pandemic, and the biggest wage gains have accrued among the lowest-paid workers, resulting in a dramatic reduction in overall wage inequality.
Are you saying that the author is lying? Can you provide any evidence to support this one way or the other? Because your position and the article can’t coexist, only one can be true. One is an investigative report and one is a Lemmy comment. You must understand how this looks?
Biden sometimes deserves criticism for sure, but not here.
Just to clarify for others who had to look into this like myself, this is true for unemployed individuals who have not actively sought a job within the last four weeks. If you’ve filled out a job app in the last 30 days you’re being counted.
New to this depth of phone administration, where are you entering this command? Is there a developer CLI I should be looking for or is this done with a third party app or something?
I do just need to point out that the Doomsday Clock is run by a media organization with no ties to any government. There’s no hard facts about what the number represents, it’s just a small group of academics who decide how close we are to apocalypse off vibes. While I think the problems they point out are valid concerns you have to remember that their main thing is to drive clicks. Of course this is easier if you’re constantly scared.
I know it seems like we’re in the worst time possible, but crime and violence is as low as it’s ever been and the standard of living for human life in general is also as high as it’s ever been. I’d echo the other commenters, sounds like it’s time for a social media detox.
Hell yeah, thanks!
