OT: American Politics

[lecoqsportif]

Haven’t wages and salaries also increased? e.g. UAW settlement?

Chart 5: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/eci.pdf

 

[Bleedsblue&white]

Hearing the economy is doing well doesn't help the people who've had little to no raise, but grocery prices seem to rise monthly.


Add that to the general idea that media likes what sells, and that's negativity and fear...add to that partisan press and voila!

 

[zeke]

Did you guys not look at those charts?

 

[CH1]

Yeah.

Those charts are telling me wage increases don’t cover the price hikes of a pint of beer at the local pub

They didn’t, I agree. But they were not flat.

 

[CH1]

Never said they were flat… the trend is great (and Biden team deserves credit) but it needs to keep going for a few more quarters before most folks feel it.

98% of voters don’t consult charts to determine their mood

 

[zeke]

Yeah.

They told you they don't cover it for gop voters, but do for dem voters.

Ah yes of course. If you ever see a GOP member uncharacteristically demonstrating they have a spine and try to figure out why, it usually just ends up being that they’re not trying to get re-elected.

My guess is he saw a refrigerator running and assumed it must be trying to escape.

Really is quite something how Tucker’s been one of the most pro-authoritarian and pro-Moscow mouthpieces in American media, and Putin still orchestrated this entire exercise to take a big public dump on him.

Not really sure what to make of it.
