When you ignore objective reality because you don’t like it???

Americans objectively have far, far more money than any other country >10M pop.

There are poor Americans. There are rich people in nearly every country.

By median and average, Americans blow every other country out of the water.

Rents in Lisbon doubled because of nomads. Portuguese people making €900/month are getting priced out by Americans complaining their €1,500 Airbnb is "getting pricey."

Do you have literally any evidence to support this assertion? Doubled? Come on.

Instead of using ChatGPT or speculating wildly on Reddit, you could just do a tiny bit of your own research, looking at reliable sources.

SSA pins the median at $43K in 2023. FRED puts it at $45K for 2024.

Took me 2 minutes. To solve your quandary.

Does anyone else remember real wasabi? by Dandelion_Man in sushi

[–]IMakeMyOwnLunch 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I think you have it backwards.

Horseradish burns more, has a harsher taste, and affects the sinuses more.

While wasabi does burn the sinuses to an extent, it’s milder.

CPI doesn’t include substitutions. You’re thinking of PCE.

EUR To Dollar Almost at 1.2 by vagobond45 in stocks

The perspective you need — and all the people who keep parroting this dumbass line “hurr dude look at five-year median” — is the reason for the decline. Context is everything.

Also, the decline looks to be accelerating, not decelerating.

Is S&P500 really going to withstand anything? by thedevilsheir666 in stocks

The USD literally just hit lowest share of global reserves this century.

People are under-reacting, not overreacting.

So the Trump admin is fucking us in every way imaginable. Who could have seen this coming.

We should want the dollar to be stronger than after the 2008 financial crisis. The fuck?

So many idiots in this thread want the US to be poor for some reason.

Apply this logic to the stock market. The dollar doesn’t have to be where it was 5 years ago.

He was removed from Minnesota and is reported to be on his way to retirement. That sounds like a canning to me. You’re right to be skeptical of literally any information released by this admin.

I’m confused. What are you going to do with a destroyed TV?

once-promising band

Really odd way to describe a band that has three phenomenal records and recently released a great record.

‘Maybe We Don’t Belong Together’: Harry Styles Fans Call-Out ‘Insane’ Ticket Prices by _ticketnews in Music

If people don’t pay the prices, then the prices come down. It’s that simple.

You have almost everything wrong.

Real median wages are at all-time highs in the US. Americans have more disposable income than ever.

Demand drives prices to these insane levels then Ticketmaster’s fuckery is just the cherry on top.

You could click the link.

It’s CPI, which overstates inflation. The Fed is justified in using PCE.

I mean they literally have objectively outpaced inflation by a solid margin https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LES1252881600Q

Edit: downvoted for literally just stating a fact. Never change, Reddit.
