Yes, I am not in fact omniscient.

Still not sure why we are celebrating this only now when it’s the continuation of a multi-year trend. It’s wonderful that murders are down. But if they’ve been falling dramatically for 3 years now, doesn’t that suggest we should keep looking at the causes?

The number is misleading: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-claims-biden-lost-300000-migrant-children-fact-check/# But regardless, I am secure in my beliefs on migrants and children. If I miss a headline, it doesn’t mean I suddenly don’t care about their plight and frankly I won’t bother...

Fuck that lady. She’d be the first person to scream if ICE was holding some kid in the freezing cold. Even if it’s just a skit, the message is fucked.

And they want those that report to be healthy.

Can someone tell me what the fuck is happening here?

Oh shit, is that the secret?

The ultra-wealthy cosplaying as salt of the earth, regular Americans has been a very funny feature of this Administration. Though to be incredibly fair, this is how the left has operated forever as well. There’s just a specific disdain for the “elites” being displayed by those same elites that...

I dunno, seems like a bad use of the phrase domestic terrorist.

lol, these fucking guys.

Did you happen to read the Reddit post before disparaging it? The YoY component isn’t the issue, it’s the methodology behind tracking them.

Tell that to my most recent utility, fuel and grocery receipts. Just filled up at $3.00 a gallon again.

I’m not sure how you can see both these things and not arrive at the conclusion that maybe the metric is the problem.

Maybe the problem with how Dems handled the economy in 2024 and how Trump is handling it now isn’t partisan lying, it’s just that Truflation is the real story and we’re all just idiots for thinking things are more expensive!

1) Biden didn’t really lock down the country. 2) Domestic lockdowns weren’t the primary drivers of our supply chain collapse. Wasn’t that one of the arguments for Liberation Day that we needed to not rely on international supply chains because of such issues?

They wouldn’t have under Trump either. You can either accept or deny Truflation’s results all you want, but you’re weaving a contradictory thread here.

So global supply chains broke and drove massive inflation and Biden had it under control by 2023? Quite the bold claim.

Again, was the proof in the pudding the last two years? You cannot both hold that Truflation is accurate today and that Trump took over an economy in shambles due to runaway inflation from Biden.

To be fair to thethe, he likely didn’t know about this when he learned about Truflation through the MAGA influencers grasping at any metric that supports their narrative.

This is like when teachers would chastise you for using Wikipedia as a reference. The type of person who becomes a top commenter in the AskEconomics subreddit is probably about as close to the type of person who creates their own inflation tracking system as you’re ever going to find in this...
