  • There is a disconnect between the statistics and reality. I am not sure where, but I suspect inflation is not being calculated correctly. It may be that lower cost items rose at a higher rate, so even though it averages out, it’s harder to reduce spending. 17% doesn’t seem to match the numbers I’ve seen for take out and home prices for example.

    At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what’s on a chart it matters how many things people had to choose to not buy or do because they couldn’t afford it.




  • Google what exactly? I made everything up myself, you’re claiming it’s, an advertisement for, what, exactly? There’s no real companies even mentioned. There’s a radio station that comes up in British Columbia that’s close, but not the same frequency.

    So you’ve made a claim, and now you’re putting the burden of proof on me. That’s the kind of conspiracy theory BS that we need to leave on reddit. I’ll look around, but I know you’re full of shit, because I am the author. Share your citations.







  • Couldn’t be further from what I want. What I don’t want to do is to give the Republicans, or any party reason to argue that whatever measures are taken against Trump are not lawful. It needs to be unambiguous that he violated the law of the land and establish that precedent so that executive action is not required, encouraged, needed or possibly even allowed. Otherwise we have accomplished literally nothing to protect our democracy, quite the opposite, in fact. Presidential decree is not law and can’t be expected to survive one administration to the next.

    Calling it his number 1 job is hyperbole unless it stands up in court. And if it does, I will agree with you, just show me the court case.

    That’s the point of checks and balances; to draw a clear separation of power.
