I wouldn’t know, I’ve very carefully crafted a TikTok algorithm that only shows me baby animals and dudes answering baseball trivia questions 🙏

This is helpful! Thank you

Point taken, but would you not be curious as to why all those sources are saying that? Like, what’s in it for all the mainstream and internet media to gin up a falsehood that everything is less affordable? Wouldn’t convincing everyone that money is tight be what businesses *wouldn’t* want to do?

What is the explanation for why the vast majority of people believe things are less affordable now though?

I think it’d be more beneficial if that were explained rather than just saying everyone is delusional.

Regular area for people who work on/near the WH grounds to go get lunch or park/metro in to get to work though. I’m just thankful my friends/coworkers in the area were all inside at the time

Seeing it now. was concerned bc I have friends working in that exact area

But what’s the source you’re getting that from?

Source?

“That Mr. Mamdani’s housecleaning should be so thorough might be a testament to the unusual extent to which Mr. Adams filled City Hall with longtime friends whose principal qualification often seemed to be loyalty to the mayor.”

Lmao

Mr. Mamdani, the mayor-elect, responded the next day, saying through a spokeswoman that he “discouraged the language” used at the protest and that New Yorkers must be “free to enter a house of worship without intimidation.”

This could be the headline too but ok

I’m in DC and a lot of us have an explanation for why things are worse this year 🙁

Almost certainly right… I’m just surprised a new AD would rather stall than figure out a way to make a change. Doesn’t exactly instill confidence, when a lot of the fanbase was definitely hoping he’d do things differently than Evans

My favorite is when they try to blunt the blow with “This is not quite unprecedented - notably, President Jackson created similar structures in 1829…”

Don’t be too worried, everything has kinda happened before 🤷
