A Recession on the Way?

Jesus titty-fucking Christ.

Yes you fucking do. It’s a tactic you used with Dayton, it’s something that gets brought up with @Uncle Albert. @Diacanu does this as well. Using someone’s posting history is so vague and a complete cop out because people’s opinions differ over the years and from subject to subject. It’s an easy “win” and cowardly.

Guys, this is beyond pathological.
This has got to be some concussion thing with him.
Maybe all those drunk driving accidents whiplashed his brain into pudding.

Show examples.

And you're the last person who should be accusing others of being cowardly, considering how running away from questions is your M.O.

What questions have I ran away from? Cite them.

Look at these search results.

Care to weigh in, @Bailey?

So you can’t produce the questions I’ve supposedly ran away from. Got it. You need help from other posters. This is what I’m saying. You make baseless accusations and back them up with nothing.

Guess you happened to put your blind-man glasses on right when Tuckerfan produced some.
That concussion is really selective.

My discussion was with Shooter.

I'm not going to search for questions from me that you've run away from because I don't recall asking you any that you didn't answer.

You do regularly run away from questions from others, though, and there's no denying that.

If you wanted privacy, there's PM.
You're on a board right now.
Drunky McConcussy.

All of them

Breaking news: If Republicans keep screaming that the economy is going to get worse, they can get a bunch of people to believe them.

Eh, I think you're a bit wrong about that. If, for no other reason, you think that the Republicans are just screaming. They're no doubt actively planning on wrecking the economy in hopes of getting a Republican as POTUS.

Look at this point it's probably easier to just link the threads that aren't full of that.

Wow this thread is pretty shocking.

FF's school year starts up again next week, doesn't it?

And the media after three decades of Rs working them isn’t helping.

In June 2019 inflation was 2.9%, unemployment was 3.7%, GDP was 2.0% and the GOP & Fox/OAN/Newsmax called it the greatest economy in US history! Now with those numbers at 3.0%, 2.9%, & 2.4% they say economy sucks. 2018 poll 65% say economy is good, now 65% say it's bad.

Pretty sure if you search the political meme thread you will find @Ancalagon and @We Are Borg (me) chasing FF down to answer a two very specific questions that he completely avoided.

From Twitter (and Bureau of Labor Statistics):

With ongoing moderation in inflation, real wages are continuing their march upward, helping pocketbooks across America.

At this point, real wages of production/non-supervisory workers (~80% of private sector) have climbed a bit above the pre-pandemic trend based on 2015-19.

Worker wages have increased at the same rate since the 80s. The issue isn't wages in and of themselves, it's the purchasing power. If wages don't increase more than the cost of living, the graph is pointless ... except a dishonest attempt to placate workers.

He did say "real wages", which takes account of that. But I do wonder why perceptions are not in line with this kind of stat.

I've not delved so deeply into the issue to know "real wages" takes that into account. But, I am wondering about your second statement. Is that directed at me or people like me who do not know the term "real wages" takes that into account?

It's directed at anyone who can answer it. If the economy is doing this well for people, why do they think that it isn't?

See. That's a statement that I understand. Why didn't you just say that?

Why do people think it isn't? Because it's moving too fucking slow. This shit started 40 years ago, and "they" think a .2 or .6% increase is going to magically fix everything? It's nonsense. it's like giving a person dying of thirst a dropper of water.

Because they're gas lighting us?

What does that mean? Are the positive numbers being made up?

No, it means they are cherry picking certain news stories to make it look like the economy is good while ignoring negative stories.

Even if they are, the cold hard fact is we're over 1.5 years out from you starting this thread and you're still no closer to being right.

About the thread topic or pretty much anything.
