Political Rant Funny Images II

 
 
 
So by his own stupid argument he doesn't have a right to his own wealth (that he believes he worked for)? 🤔

For the record I think rights are a messy concept philosophically, but useful politically. Also (cue some dumbass whining about Musk bashing).

And that's why the voters keep trusting the GOP with the economy... because they don't pay attention.

Whey don't pay attention

Also

On average less educated
On average more believing in crazy fictitious stories about gods and miracles
Much less comfortable with the unknown so gravitate towards those who express certainty even when totally wrong.

So, with that chart, earnings went from being equal to prices, to being 6% higher than prices under Biden - that looks like doing a good job.

Assuming you're serious....

The graph shows the percentage increase in both prices and wages since shortly before January 2020. Since then, prices have increased by between 20 and 25 percent, while wages have increased by between 25 and 30 percent. It does not (repeat not) mean that the two were the same to begin with - it simply shows the relative amount of increase in both over time.

But yes, looks like doing a good job.

But because both of these are averages, it could still be true that certain classes of individuals have seen their prices go up faster than their wages. It would be interesting to see these numbers broken down a bit more.

Of course I was only referring to what was on the chart. I understand prices doesn't equal earnings, as that is a meaningless statement.
