Which inflation rate are you quoting, the true rate including food and fuel or an abstraction that ignores those inelastic categories?

echutaa ,

12 months is a poor timeframe to use for inflation when the most relevant data to consumers today is 2021-2022, and again fuel is required to function in the US which I don’t see in CPI making it a poor indicator for real finances. Really though my point is metrics can be manipulated to sound good or bad but ignoring consumer sentiment is foolish for a politician seeking to be elected by those consumers.

echutaa ,

By that logic we should only read last months data and forget the rest of history, but in reality people have memories and incorporate previous experience in their sentiment.

echutaa ,

So I spent some time looking into this wage increase stuff and I did find this fun chart with inflation adjusted wages growing 2% in the last 5 years, that’s pretty paltry compared to the corporate profit increases. I’d bet that power imbalance is a large factor in consumer sentiment falling against otherwise good looking economic data.

BREAKING NEWS: EU Commission announces preliminary tariffs up to 38% on Chinese EVs (www.euractiv.com)

The EU will impose additional tariffs of 17.4% to 38.1% on electric cars produced in China, the European Commission announced on Wednesday (12 June), as preliminary results from its anti-subsidy investigation confirmed prices are being distorted by Chinese state support....

An engine would scrap for more than $100 you’ll have to cite that figure to make it believable.

echutaa ,

No citations and more outlandish claims. So I’ll put a little math here. From the first google results aluminum scraps around $0.44/lb and a smaller engine block is about 300lb which comes out to $132, not including heads manifolds, pistons etc.

You just need quotes on it, ms fucked up the directory traversal “oobe/bypassnro.cmd” worked for me setting up a user machine yesterday

Unfortunately cpuc has done nothing but allow rate increases, last I checked sdge has the most expensive rates in the continental us. Considering that with how shit the service has been I’d bet they are using that cash to pay regulators. I don’t expect this to go far but I hope it does because fuck sdge and cpuc

echutaa ,

I like to pack services in containers so ctop has been a great basic ui to manage and monitor them in the shell

And when trump is elected I’m sure they won’t do everything in their power to arm Israel to the teeth with horrific weapons to use on those kids /s

echutaa ,

There’s no incentive for US automakers to build cheaper EVs from this. This is just protectionism which is fine when China is subsidizing their production past the point of profitability, but this will still work against making American EVs more affordable.

Can’t wait to see how they stop the pedal from physically getting stuck in full throttle through software 🍿

Anyone know a good mouse with a lot of side buttons, that isn't an MMO style? (lemmy.world)

My Razer Naga Pro died and I’m absolutely not buying another one for what it costs. But I also can’t seem to find a replacement with the same sort of layout this one had. I’ll link a picture, but I’m essentially looking for a mouse that has a lot of side buttons but still has a place for me to rest my thumb without...

echutaa ,

After my naga died I went for the swiftpoint z because my hands are too big to use half the buttons on most other mmo mice. It’s way too expensive but easily the best mouse I’ve ever owned.

echutaa ,

I haven’t it needs a helper app to configure it and I don’t think there are Linux packages for that.

echutaa ,

Yea I don’t know much about the second rev, but the analog buttons and internal gyro are great if you do any driving/flight sim stuff

echutaa ,

Fun fact calcium carbonate dissolves quickly in acidic solutions, like say stomach acid.

echutaa ,

Seems like a lot of work compared to just using an ro filter, but I also live in an area where you shouldn’t drink the tap because of the crap they put in it.

echutaa ,

Yea they intentionally add chloramines which have a range of health issues, but it kills the biohazards so they do it to prevent outbreaks of waterborne diseases.

echutaa ,

I think it is pretty common, they definitely push the limits on what should be used in my area. Last year I used tap run through a sediment and 2 carbon blocks to fill a small pond and the ammonia levels through that were above 10mg/l, I didn’t bother diluting to get the actual level since that’s already exceptionally toxic for anything with aquatic animals.

'Disenfranchised' millennials feel 'locked out' of the housing market and it taints every part of economic life, top economist Mark Zandi says (fortune.com)

Few milestones in life mean as much to the American Dream as owning a home. And millennials have encountered the kind of trouble totally befitting their generation, which largely graduated into the teeth of the disastrous post-2008 job market. Just as they entered peak homebuying and household formation age, housing...

echutaa ,

I don’t think this is as important as your making it out to be because it’s not far off from the truth for many. The reality is that a condemned or empty lot in my area starts at 6 times my annual salary. To get something that can be lived in starts around 9 times. That means I need at about a year’s salary to afford the land alone. To be able to live on that lot is closer to 2 years salary. Realistically this won’t happen because the rent in the area is 60% of my income and after required expenses like fuel, insurance, food, etc I can usually save about 5% of my income. Any unforeseen expenses like car repairs eat that away, so I’m left with an annual savings rate of about 3%. At this rate homes will inflate faster than my income will accrue. The math doesn’t work and I suspect it doesn’t for many others.

echutaa ,

You’re mistaken, I already live 45 minutes from my job. Moving further from that would be untenable because it would increase my commute by another 30 minutes which wouldn’t leave enough time for me to care for my father in the area.

echutaa ,

That’s a lot of psychopathic assumptions I’m just going to pretend you didn’t say. The point is the reality for most is dire and your clearly more interested in winning the conversation than understanding those shitheads on social media are only getting views because they are validating real problems in the economy.

The Pentagon Tried to Hide That It Bought Americans’ Data Without a Warrant (www.wired.com)

The Pentagon Tried to Hide That It Bought Americans’ Data Without a Warrant::US spy agencies purchased Americans’ phone location data and internet metadata without a warrant but only admitted it after a US senator blocked the appointment of a new NSA director.

echutaa ,

Warrants are important checks on an otherwise unchecked behemoth that could easily make most people disappear in one way or another.

echutaa ,

Going to? We do all the time, hell we nuked it a bunch too.

echutaa ,

No need for a psa just enact law that makes someone this reckless and absent minded ineligible to own firearms. The problem will stop real quick with that.

“How can it be that there are no demands made of the aggressor and only demands made of the victim,” Blinken went on to say.

Israel has been the aggressor for decades now. They trapped these people, made it impossible for any economic opportunity, raided them daily killing indiscriminately, stole their land repeatedly and then want to play the victim when the provoked people fight back. Fuck off, Israel needs to return the land, end the blockades, and allow the investments it lied about, only then would it even be close to neutral. I hate hamas, but Israel made this bed

echutaa ,

Neat. Still a drop in the bucket when all residential use is only about 10% of all water use in the state.

FBI Labels Anti-Fascists and Anti-Racists as Violent Extremists (unicornriot.ninja)

A recently released Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) document titled “Domestic Terrorism Symbols Guide”* links common protest symbols to “terrorism” — another marker in a common theme of conflating militant protest for social justice with deadly terrorist violence within the United States. Groups like the American...

echutaa ,

Maybe with another organization you would have a point, but in the case of the FBI which has been known to aid and recruit fascists I don’t see this holding any water.

echutaa ,

For me it’s the difference between a statements and events. If Musk just says something it’s generally worthless drivel, but if Tesla engineers a new battery pack or gets targeted by a lawsuit then it’s something worth knowing.

U.S. is sending a carrier strike group closer to Israel and will begin supplying munitions starting today (www.nbcnews.com)

The U.S. military is moving an aircraft carrier strike group and military aircraft closer to Israel as a show of support, and will also begin supplying Israel with munitions and other military supplies immediately, said Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin....

echutaa ,

No thanks, US soldiers don’t need to die for Israel’s mistakes.

echutaa ,

Where? I never see the weird stuff cheaper than gTLD’s

echutaa ,

Regardless this seems like it will just be used by the state/wealthy organizations to drag doctors through court until they’re out of money. If I were a doctor in Texas I still wouldn’t even consider an abortion for fear of losing everything.
