Groundhog Day (1993)

Maybe? I watch lots of Twitch and he’s there just doing Pepe/Peepo things.

Pepe has been reclaimed!

I’m more surprised at how quickly the Lemmings got emotional about this than I am offended. Also that’s kind of reductive to say I’m just repeating and doubling down. I’m trying to explain myself. I guess I should just acquiesce to the Lemmy masses or not comment at all, because that’s how we foster a community.

Thanks for the somewhat reasonable comment, I guess.

The left didn’t vote against fascism, but also the center didn’t. And the right, obviously.

I’m seriously not trolling. I took a cursory look at data from a few sources. I do enjoy that you won’t answer basic questions though.

Mode of what? 35-40 what? What source? Why are you so angry? Also why is the mode more important than the median?

Except that wage growth, from what I’m seeing, has kept up with inflation. If you find me numbers to say otherwise, I’ll believe you. Until then you’re just stating how you and others feel. My point this whole time is that the feeling doesn’t match up with the numbers.

I get that companies have been price gouging, I get that Democrats needed to push for more policies that make people feel better economically, or at least say dumb lies that make people feel better like Trump does.

If by small you mean 0.00000000000001%.

I do realize that. Wage growth is also cumulative, and wages have caught up to balance out the current higher prices: https://www.bankrate.com/banking/federal-reserve/wage-to-inflation-index/#the-job-market-has-cooled-more-than-expected-this-year

That’s only one source from a quick Google, and I assume they’re average numbers, so some people will have less purchasing power than pre-2020.

I assumed I could have a discussion on Lemmy about the very clear difference between two words without getting attacked for it, but I guess not.

I also don’t agree that the word inflation has colloquially changed meaning, I think people just are not aware that inflation is normal now. They look at the current prices due to the period of previous inflation and are angry about it.

Especially when next to Walz who is, I think, a year younger.

Blessed be the fruit.

Not discounting anything you wrote here, but it still entertains me when people call the 60 year old Kamala Harris young.

I’ve never claimed to be a centrist. Very far from it. Grocery prices went up, yes. Grocery prices are now going up at a normal rate. That’s all I’m saying here and people are losing their minds.

Good luck. What field are you in?

I’m not an economist, but from what I’ve heard in the past, 2% is basically ideal. Price deflation or inflation that’s too low can indicate problems with the economy. Maybe this situation is different since we had really high inflation a couple years ago. But either way, I think it’s unlikely that prices will drop. Kamala needed to promise super low taxes on the working class or something to make up for it.

Kind of needlessly aggressive. Why does having an opinion and stating literal facts make it propaganda? That’s not really a word we want to cheapen with a fascist regime incoming.

There was a two year spike. If you look at the graph in the link I posted, you would see that prices have been mostly going up as normal for almost two years now. When are people going to adjust to their mindset to the current prices?

Thanks for your condolences, SquatDingloid. Your contribution to this conversation has done wonders for the world.
