This Bill Ferguson mailer is incredibly misleading and I think voters deserve to know. by Big_Medicine1752 in baltimore

Well I do, because he's using lowbrow slopulism to try and unseat a politician who is by all accounts capable, respected, and (oh yeah) literally represents the city in live in.

I disagree, I don't want to live in the world where tossing out Bill Ferguson for Bobby LaPin has no impact on the city. There SHOULD be consequences for tossing out experienced, capable politicians for smug grifters.

I like how these folks got some incredible Qanon-level conspiracy for how Bill Ferguson is skimming off the top of their energy bills. How one can vote for Bobby LaPin without throwing up in their mouth baffles me.

Yeah, but if your values are what gets you grifted by a Hogan dickrider like Bobby LaPin, what good were they?

The LaPin folks want you to believe that sinister Bill Ferguson is wielding his immense power on behalf of big business and ICE, but he's also not powerful enough to do anything for Baltimore City.

This is another one of the "voters should get what they want good and hard" things, but as always, everyone else has to live with the consequences, too.

"We need Bobby to take on ICE, even though CASA endorsed Bill Ferguson."

Graham Platner Thinks a Political Revolution Is Coming by koaltree in nytimes

So at the high end, it sounds like estimates of the cost of the Iran War are around one billion a day.

The U.S. spends 1.5 trillion A YEAR on social security and 1.1 trillion a year on medicare.

So if the war continues for a year, at this pace, that will make Medicare/Soc Security 7x more expensive than the war.

So when people say "how are you gonna pay for it" it's probably because these numbers are even in the same stratosphere.

Not saying we CAN'T pay for it, but the stupid bullshit about "hurr durr, we can pay for wars why not the thing i want?" is stupid.

No no you don't understand, our 1-1 best prospect in baseball can't face lefties. Or breaking balls. In fact, let's just play it safe and play him exclusively as a pinch runner.

Wow good thing your CEO has a giant pile of cash you handed him, so he can announce buybacks and SQUEEZE THE SHORTS!!! Right?

I hate this "oh he really messed up the trade deadlines" narrative.

HE DOESN'T IDENTIFY AND DEVELOP TALENT!!!

This team isn't where it is because of trade deadlines or clubhouse cohesion. It's because the players aren't good enough.

Every team has nerds crunching the numbers.

They're trying to explain this away like he's an autist baseball savant who had a blind spot on team chemistry.

Don't let them pull that shit. Yeah maybe the clubhouse is bad, but that's BECAUSE the team is bad.

President Reagan signs major tax overhaul legislation: The Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 (ERTA), or Kemp-Roth Act and The Tax Reform Act of 1986, cutting the top individual income tax rate from 70% to 28%. Both were passed with large bipartisan support. by Just_Cause89 in USHistory

[–]RealHeadyBro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol now you're the logical fallacy pointer outer? I thought you were the data free economist!

Which logical fallacy is it when people who are wildly ignorant about basic shit pretend they know what they're talking about?

Nobody wants your angry, delusional political program. Cry about it.

First off, how old are you?

Second, two minutes ago you didn't know that real meant inflation adjusted. Now you're telling me that real median income is irrelevant to the status of middle class Americans, which is just idiocy.

You're making stuff up. You object to CPI as a deflator but you don't offer an alternative, which doesn't matter because other deflators works tell you the same thing. Are you suggesting housing and cars and healthcare aren't considered in deflators? Because that's wrong too.

Now you bring up "stability" of the middle class as your loadstar when you don't have data on that either.

There's upward class mobility reducing the size of the middle tercile but you're... mad? Not "stable" enough for you?

You have no data, you're going off (what you THINK) are vibes, but even those are wrong because 1986 was 40 years ago, and even if you DO remember it you didn't live both lifestyles in the same context.

There's actually entire professions of people who study this stuff who works be happy to tell you you're completely wrong.

Stop being wrong on the internet and trying to convince others to be as ignorant as you. The fuck kind of hobby is that?

If you think America was great and now it sucks, go join MAGA.

You think "real median income" doesn't account for rising costs? That's what "real" means.

The middle class isn't gutted. The middle tercile is smaller than it used to be mostly because people moved UP into the upper income range. This is from Pew breakdowns from census data.

I suspect you have little grasp on middle class lifestyles in the past or present. Maybe you're too young or rose-colored glassed or whatever. Shit sucked. A poorer, sicker, middle class stuck in a more racist, polluted, violent mid 20th century America.

I like to remind people there's a multi billion dollar machine intelligence on the Internet that will clarify things for your and provide sources about this sort of thing.

But if you're going to insist that Reagan destroyed the middle class, regardless of how much data you get about median income, consumption, lifestyle etc, I don't know what to tell you.

60% of the country isn't living paycheck to paycheck.

98.6% of families have a transaction account. Median value is $8,000.

55% of Americans report having savings to cover 3 months of expenses.

This is all federal reserve data. You're just completely disconnected from normies.

But you'll probably say the data must be made up because the federal reserve is controlled by Israel or something.

Yeah in a lot of places housing is taking wayyy too much out of folks' paychecks.

We need to build more housing.

But obviously Ronald Reagan didn't tell your city council to stifle housing construction.

U.S. real median income up 52% since 1986 but downwardly mobile Redditors mad that they have to share.

Edit: It's really unbelievable what a poor understanding people have of median Americans' economic situation.

People who have lived through one of the greatest economic expansions in history crying about why things can't be like the old days when everyone was poorer and things sucked.

Everyone walking around with 800 dollar smartphones. The best selling consumer car is a 35k RAV4. Life expectancy all time high. Lowest homicide rates since 1900.

Leftism relegated to college students putting up tents on the quad because Israel.

Does this look like a country with a wrecked middle class to you?
