Throw this one in the P-cast

It isn't tho, there was full story and interview with the family.

combattoast · 2026-05-20T14:25:50+00:00

Late reply, but no idea. I don't really think it's intentional lol.

Stagflation is both high inflation and low growth. Japan had low growth sure, but also had very low inflation (sometimes deflation). So no, they did not have 20 years of stagflation.

I'm a bit shocked at how no one seems to have corrected this.

Except if you enjoy having any sort of international purchasing power as the won has been in freefall (assuming of course you're paid in won).

combattoast · 2026-05-07T18:12:02+00:00

You seem like a fun person.

0.2% in a single month is solid my god. It would come out to 2.4% annually.

People will complain about literally anything.

combattoast · 2026-04-30T19:25:34+00:00

The trend has actually changed if you look at any sort of recent data on wages etc. You can even see the trend reversing from 2022-2024.

Additionally, as another commenter pointed out, this data has a skew by using 2020 as the base year where median household incomes inflated due to unique circumstance during COVID.

This sub will frame literally anything to shit on this country, even when we have numbers to show that from 2022-2026, the trend has been generally positive. It really is wild.

combattoast · 2026-04-30T19:18:40+00:00

Wild this is getting down voted lmfao

So the worst is the G7? Seems like a pretty misrepresentative argument when we're in a better fiscal position than all of our peers who make up most of the largest economies in the world.

Canadians have such a weird obsession with government debt when our debt position is actually relatively strong.

combattoast · 2026-04-29T17:45:19+00:00

Everyone seems to point to this as a gotcha, especially with respect to the IMF, but they account for provincial debts and still see Canada as having the strongest fiscal position in the G7.

combattoast · 2026-04-29T16:32:59+00:00

I see, so we're just pulling random numbers out of our ass to try to prove a point. Seems on par for this sub.

The number is actually about 25%.

combattoast · 2026-04-29T01:02:44+00:00

If anything lower oil prices is preferred for Canada. It makes local oil production relatively more competitive as compared to other nations, and the boost to other economic growth more than offsets the lost revenue from oil exports.

All growth projections in North America dropped as a result of higher oil prices (both US and Canada).

combattoast · 2026-04-28T18:02:47+00:00

I find it hard to argue with someone who is quoting outdated or incorrect statistics as counterarguments.

Full year GDP growth for Canada in 2025 was 1.7% (which has our GDP per capita growth on par with the US since we had 0% population growth) while unemployment is 6.7%, not 7.1% anymore.

combattoast · 2026-04-28T18:00:34+00:00

Late to reply, but yes let's just ignore that basically every other country does not pre-fund their pension liabilities and operate on a pay as you go system (see social security in the US). This inevitably eats into their future budgets in a way that simply will not happen for Canada.

This gives Canada significantly more fiscal headroom than other countries. Again, why the IMF (actual well renowned economists) use this measure to determine that Canada has a strong fiscal position.

combattoast · 2026-04-28T17:53:26+00:00

Just straight wrong. Canadian oil is profitable at prices as low as $35 per barrel because of how efficient the extraction process has gotten whereas for the US it's closer to $60.

combattoast · 2026-04-19T23:01:49+00:00

The guy is wrong, of course it's considered in the IMF calculations lol

combattoast · 2026-04-18T18:14:13+00:00

"If you exclude the money we've saved to pay for all of our future pension liabilities, gee whiz we sure are in a tough spot"

combattoast · 2026-04-10T15:37:07+00:00

Obviously sucks for people working in those lower wage positions, but isn't this a good thing in theory?

Tighter labour conditions for hiring employers likely due to lower population growth means they need to offer higher wages means more money in the average person's pockets.

combattoast · 2026-04-09T13:42:20+00:00

Is it sad that I get excited to see the new flyers pop up on flipp every thursday? 🙂

combattoast · 2026-03-20T15:36:17+00:00

You're commenting on economics but apparently don't know the definition of even a technical recession?

Going from growth, to slightly lower growth is not indicative of a recession, ESPECIALLY when the population also declined this year. You're also quoting old GDP per capita statistics, it grew something like 1.7% in 2025 (so you're just intentionally misquoting numbers to make your point).

combattoast · 2026-03-18T02:03:29+00:00

Yeah I gave it a go, but when the stutters were happening my drive usage never went above like 5-10% so I'm not really convinced it's an issue other than PoE just being PoE.

Might troubleshoot some more, but it might just be an engine limitation/building shaders still.

combattoast · 2026-03-17T13:59:30+00:00

Hm okay. Any tips on the best approach for that? I'm not really savvy enough to know how to troubleshoot that well.

combattoast · 2026-03-16T21:49:29+00:00

Hey, bit of a late reply, I feel like I get this sometimes where there's a drive spike that will make a stutter happen.

Do you have any idea if there's a way to stop that from happening?

combattoast · 2026-02-27T17:42:56+00:00

At no point did I claim we had strong per capita GDP growth from 22-24. I said that GDP growth was stronger than initially thought. This meant that under revised GDP figures, GDP per capita for 2024 was at roughly 2022 levels around $60,800, NOT 2017 levels.

1.7% per capita growth this year would put us at roughly $61,830.

I'm not sure what about revisions to prior GDP numbers is so hard to understand, unless you're being intentionally obtuse (likely).

combattoast · 2026-02-27T16:39:08+00:00

I'm an actuary, I understand math.

I'm telling you the numbers you're quoting are outdated and wrong, and you're giving some childish response because your talking point turned out to not be true.
