Real income didn't rise faster.

The two things to understand from this chart, if I'm reading it correctly.

From the pandemic forward the top did way better and that's why the average ratio to the median is increasing quickly.

Also, wage gains for the lower deciles didn't break 3%. Inflation >8%

Is there *any* current mainstream reporting on this?

*sigh* libertarian contrarians.

Parts of the government seem to be running just fine... Why is it that libertarians are cool with this?

But if they wanted to fund it we could get it.

Regardless of that, when do you expect the reports to come out?

What do you think we're going to see?

When is he going to nominate a director?

The clown show continues.

Remember folks, if you ever see the words "libertarian economist" next to each other, what they describe is someone who spends all of their time trying to justify tax cuts so their boss can continue to pay them to write stuff to justify tax cuts.

So as I noted, the revision showed that we had net jobs lost so they stopped publishing the report for the last few months.

Guess what's happened the last few months?

Oh, you don't have to because I already showed you that we had record layoff announcements.

So job losses for the last 4 months.

People forget that this was one of Hillary's biggest mistakes, putting this kind of asshole on the ticket.

It's time for Dems to move on from this crap.

Yeah, it took about 6 months for Donald to destroy the best economy the US has ever had.

And now they are lying about all the numbers.

Do you know who pays tariffs?
November 9, 2025 at 7:04 PM
Do people really not think that we are in a recession right now?

Based on what?

The numbers the government is reporting?
November 9, 2025 at 7:03 PM
????

Inflation is cumulative.

16.8% over three years.

When inflation came down, prices did not return to those previous levels.

Inflation did.
November 9, 2025 at 6:34 PM
Oh.

And do you think the Sharpie numbers showing that things are great?
November 9, 2025 at 6:31 PM
Lolwhut?

We've been in the flat out Sharpie economy for 3 months now.

Shit is way worse than they're saying.

That's not the data the FED is using to make decisions.

You can just do this and it works...

Never been into stamp collecting but I have become more of a stamp appreciator.

These are great.

Shame forever.

Between this, the Christian Right in the United States, and folks like ISIS and MBS, I think it's pretty safe to say that the Abrahamic take on morality is wrong.

And fatally flawed.

Tribal bullshit that it's time to move beyond from, as a species.

When you live long enough, you realize that wealth and ethics are inversely coordinated.

This is something that Spaceship Earth moral theory teaches from the get-go.
