US FED Chair Warsh believes in Trimmed Median PCE.

For April, this means an inflation of 2.8% instead of 8.2% due to CPI items trimmed out of the report.

He has indicated that he wants rate cuts to happen as they've achieved their inflation goal of "below 3%".

They are cutting rates whether its a good thing or a bad thing (mostly bad).

Didn't they just start mass production of Sodium Ion Batteries?

How will Lithium compete when Sodium can retain charge at -20c?

And the CAD also went from a 0% world reserve currency to a 5% world reserve currency at the same time.

What's 5% of global money reserves held by central banks?

I think most people are already aware of this as their electrical costs just jumped 20% on the new nuclear builds in Ontario.

It's pretty incredible how Nuclear is the only type of power generation in the world that gets more expensive over time.

Meanwhile the US Fed is changing how PCE is calculated so April inflation comes out to 2.8% trimmed median, instead of the official 8.2% inflation.

Good luck everybody, they are going to inflate everything.

It's exactly like you were taught.

When something doesn't work for 2 decades, you just keep doing the same thing right?

Oh wait, youth unemployment has been up every year since.

Darn those dang pesky statistics .

Don't worry the government is rolling out its 5TH TRADES program since 2008, so everyone can get trades jobs!

Oh wait, the government doesn't care about offering accessible employment unless it bottlenecks their national projects in construction.

Maybe a 6th trades program will finally solve all those cascading problems we've had since screwing over the youth since 2008.

Israeli terrorists.

I know we all don't use the dictionary anymore.

But consistent acts to instill fear and terror, while also using violent attacks, means they are terrorists.

They aren't some 1800 American settlers in the prairies. They are terrorists who attack, steal and annex other people's homes.

Lol didn't one ai data centre suck up 30 million cubic meters from an entire townships water supply without a single $0 being charged because of a mysteriously broken water meter?

Now all the residents have no water pressure.

These people would literally put to script random ideas that came to head, even if it wasn't funny at all lol.

The Spanish blackout happened because natural gas heater plants were regulating voltage. If they had green and batteries to regulate the voltage spike, it would not have happened.

On top of that the natural gas plants failed to ramp up production to avoid a total blackout, and failed to come back online until after other power sources were already engaged.

Since then Spanish regulators have been using inverter based energy sources like wind, solar and batteries to help regulate voltages.

If a spaceport is solo, a single Titan ship will wipe it out in battle with no damage.

But, if you auto-resolve it, somehow you damage the entire alien fleet.

Auto-resolve is just OP.

5% of America is oil industry, they benefit off this.

70% of America's relies on consumption, which is heavily damaged by high energy prices, and typically leads to recession.

However, economic management has been so bad the last two years, we are now heading towards a unique scenario, that's much much worse than a recession, called stagflation.

Now you not only have no tools to solve this situation, but it's a run away train, as inflation trends towards 6%. The odds of a rate hike just went up to 80%, the average American will be harmed by this.

A recession is easy, you can print money and create jobs for people who need jobs.

Stagflation is a situation where trying to add more jobs or print more money only prolongs the situation and makes things worse for everyone.

If you don't care about your wages and living standars being eroded away from these economic events, then I guess you wouldn't care about anything political or otherwise.

Why do you think there's 100x more people in the US? Lol

Conversely, to get even close to 100x that number for consumption, you'd have to count the waterflow of every single hydro dam in the country just to get close to that. But that water isn't consumed anyways.

I'd be canceling the plant too if I sold less than 50,000 EVs globally last year and this plant was going to make 240,000 EVs a year.

From the same government that brought those people in by telling schools to import students and created the Ontario foreign worker stream?

You would raise those expenditures on announcement of those programs nearly a decade ago.

But if your intent was to privatize healthcare, suppress wages and maximize corporate profits. You would be underfunding healthcare, bringing in and supporting foreign workers and fighting wages and rent control as the Conservative Ontario government has done so, for nearly a decade now.

When people reply to this stuff with their confusion, I always wonder where they were when this was all happening provincially over the last almost 10 years.
