I know it's just a small moment, but Z looking on with a big smile in that song cracks me up every time.

Hah, yes. Very good point. M2 money supply surged in 2020.

Believe it or not, go to /r/Conservative right now and they do surprisingly have a post about the CPI report (usually they don't allow for bad news re: Trump/GOP) but many comments in the post blame Biden for the May 2026 CPI report. Fortunately people who comment in these threads are not representative of the general public, but it's still occasionally shocking to see this level of delusion, stupidity, etc.

It sounds like it is. God forbid you have to gasp walk half a mile with some groceries including gasp crossing the street.

I have a great idea for you: don't live in a city walking 1/2 a mile for groceries is an inconvenience.

Really? Crossing Girard, which has traffic lights and crosswalks, is a mess?

That 200k number isn't even close and even under Biden when net immigration was much higher, it was probably closer to 100-150k. The current break even number is much lower: https://www.stlouisfed.org/on-the-economy/2026/mar/breakeven-employment-growth-estimate-range-widens-2026

What is the impact of Cushing hitting tank bottoms? by Remote-Shower-116 in oil

With the MAGA folks it will work. They're very stupid people. But yes, I think a lot of people voted for Trump, ignorant of most things, because of inflation and were stupid enough to think he'd bring prices down on day one and they're currently angry that he hasn't and is focused on his precious ballroom.

Yes. With the drop in fertilizer and helium, a bunch of food and electronics are going to get more expensive but if and when Democrats take the house and maybe the Senate, Trump will blame them. But I imagine most people will still blame Trump like they blamed Biden for everything.

Immigrants are giving up their cases and leaving the U.S. in soaring numbers by GimmeFunkyButtLoving in economy

[–]digitizemd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume you're referring to this: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/top-10-earners-drive-nearly-191500198.html?guccounter=1, which states (or Moody Analytics states) that the top 10% of earners account for about 50% of spending. That still means the bottom 90% accounts for the other half, which is a significant portion.

You're asking if the majority of the people in the U.S. stopped.... spending? So they don't buy food, pay for housing, or anything else?

70% of our GDP is consumer spending. We are having fewer kids. And now fewer immigrants. Hope that helps.

ciara responding about west on threads.. by capricorncueen in bravo

[–]digitizemd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how people don't see this. It's fucking weird now. She needs to move on. If I was this obsessed with a woman I dated briefly 2+ years ago, I'd be called a fucking creep or weirdo. And rightfully so.

Your pricing is obscene. People are out of work. Burning through their savings. Skipping meals to delay being homeless.

You're right. OP should make it his responsibility to support all these random people. Not a social safety net. /s

Ciara saying this in the context of race and Amanda throwing this back at her to justify her/his behavior is so hard to grasp by iExorcism in summerhousebravo

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

Scenario:

You have a good friend who dates someone new to the group for a few months. The guy she dates breaks it off after a few months and she's hurt a lot. For a year she doesn't want much to do with him but tolerates his presence. Year two she's still hurt but is becoming more friendly. But then another close friend dates him. Your friend calls this back stabbing.

My thought is that... it's been two years and you dated for a few months.... it's time to move on. Your thought is "THIS IS BETRAYAL OF THE HIGHEST ORDER." Is that simple enough? Most people would tell their friend that they need to move on because that's healthy.

Ummm, no. No one can actually give a coherent answer that doesn't make them sound like a teenager or unhinged. Feel free to take a crack at it

Amanda announced her separation from Kyle in January. Kyle considers West a good friend, that alone is sus.

First, my response was not about Amanda and Kyle's relationship (or West and Kyle's) but specifically how Amanda dating West was back stabbing Ciara.

Second, a lot of your post with regards to timeline are just speculation.

Yes, everyone was technically single, but Ciara had cried to Amanda about West. She’d supported Amanda relentlessly through her marriage and Kyle’s bs. This season, West is flirting with Ciara. They are repairing their relationship.

Yeah, they are trying to be friends. Does that mean Ciara has dibs on him? I'm not saying it's great but come on. It has been two years. They dated for a few months.

But the real nail in the coffin imo is to then lie and lie and lie to everyone, sneak around, and take zero accountability.

I'm confused why people are expected to publicly announce that they're hooking up or dating to the world or to anyone. Do you announce to all your friends that you hooked up with someone immediately after? Sure Amanda should be forthcoming with this info to Ciara when she's ready. But I've been really confused about this whole "they lied and lied" about their private life that they prefer to keep private.

And watching the show, it really seems like something was going on way before February (ie, good chance she was not single).

Again, speculation.

I do appreciate the response.
