Are we in a right wing clique?

[Soggust]

@PBAC The "right wingers" you see speaking out are the "me" in this picture.

Makes sense because progressives “progress”, right?

If you keep the same perspective and never change with time, I think you become more conservative by default.

Wrong.

Inflation rate in
2022: 6.4%
2023: 3.5%
2024: 2.9% (so far)

For context 2019 inflation rate was 2.3%

So stop lying and spreading horseshit

Wrong.
Anyone who has ever bought real estate, gas, or even a dozen eggs knows we are dealing with inflation. Every item you buy is up 20% from a few years ago. Real Estate is up 20-30% nationwide. Eggs, milk, gas, all up. Labor is way up. Fast food is up, everything is up.

So stop lying and spreading horseshit.

there is inflation tied to currency then there is inflation with one greedy cunt raising the price of bread in his storage company by 20 cent ... meaning everyone who wants to seel bread has to do the same and everyone who wants to buy has to suck it up.

That is false. The left doesn't want "convenience" abortions up to birth. Nobody wants "afterwards", that is just complete bullshit right wing propaganda you keep regurgitating.

You just lied. Stop lying liar. I have you a chance not to lie and you lied. Liar. I honestly don’t know why liars have to lie when it’s so easy to show they’re lying. Probably because they’re liars.

Public Opinion on Abortion

While public support for legal abortion has fluctuated some in two decades of polling, it has remained relatively stable over the past five years.

Defunding the police all occurred in Dem cities. The trans mania is far more prevalent amongst Democrats than Republicans. Sucking up to Islam is another one as is DEI, which we've seen with everything from the Secret Service to Disney content.

Defunding the police occurred almost nowhere, and where budgets were cut, it was a result of the pandemic budget crunch (and note that Democrats supported federal aid to prevent that, which Republicans fought). "Trans mania" is mostly imaginary in America, and it's something that Republicans try to talk about rather than economic policy because their economic policy is very unpopular. "Sucking up to Islam" is also not something that happens in America. DEI isn't a gov't thing.

Generally, I think people who don't live here (and some who do!) tend to mistake Republicans talking about what Democrats are talking about for what Democrats are actually talking about.

Lol at your "context" picking the highest month of 2019 and rounding down the lowest month of Biden’s.

Here's the actual "context" that anybody can read for themselves with every month of everybody's terms. Inflation was never above 3% for any month of Trump’s entire term, and it hasn't been below 3% for any month of Biden’s since 2 months after he took office. It's also a cumulative number, not frozen in time each month, so the already high number is on top of the astronomical numbers, and Biden's is in addition to the highest interest rates in 30+ years as well. Household income went up nearly $6k in real dollars while Trump was in office, and has declined by $2k with Biden in office, so sell that stupid shit to someone else.

Are you denying that inflation has come down? Is your theory that Trump would have somehow magically prevented it from rising if he were president? How?

By not shutting the country down over the equivalent of the flu virus and then printing out trillions in free payments to non essential people.

Trump also made sure oil and gas companies had contracts, keystone pipeline was running, that means fuel is cheap. Transporting goods across the country at high fuel rates massively contributes to inflation.

Trump wouldn't have rolled out the red carpet for millions kf illegals and pay them more than most Americans make in a year.

Trump wouldn't have funded the Ukraine war. It wouldn't have even taken place under Trump.

The sanctions on Russia cost Americans more than Russians themselves.

Are you capable of Rational thought? Or do you just choose to ignore reality?

ever heard of price fixing? very few business are truly willing to sell lower than the standard.

right now the Dutch housing market is being inflated largely due to international (Belgian) private housing companies renting property for far higher than the accepted amount, meaning many others copy them and cause the prices to veer out of control across the board. The external companies, usually private in nature, aren't held to the same code of conduct as Dutch/social housing agencies and frequently curtail national legalities largely by exploiting internationals.

It's pretty obvious a lot of the inflation here is cause by one business over reaching and its neighbours copying the price range. Literally in most European countries you can walk one block away and find food/groceries for half the price just because they're not trapped in that vortex range.

Price fixing literally shouldn't be in the same conversation as inflation. They are separate issues. You're basically saying "hey look over here" and that price fixing is somehow equal to actual catastrophic inflation that has taken place over the last 4 years.

Price fixing literally shouldn't be in the same kind of conversation as inflation. They are separate issues. You're basically saying "hey look over here while you pretend inflation under Biden isn't a problem.

it's a completely over looked problem. Even in countries that regulate price control the nature of competitiveness, or keep up with the Jones, is a powerful influence on the economy and one that can't really be backpedalled by any economic policy. Most direct price increases have been triggered by private individuals using an uncertain economy as an excuse.

 

[RoastBeast]

I don't get why people keep quoting these low inflation rates while simultaneously purchasing shit that's 20-40% higher than the prices from 4 years ago.

Actually I do. It's yet another case of people only believing things to be true if they can find a chart or a study on the internet.

You guys are allowed to use your own brain to notice things in real life. It's okay. You don't have to be afraid that some nerd will show up and ask you for a source.

"Most direct price increases have been triggered by private individuals using an uncertain economy as an excuse".

This might be the dumbest statement I have ever read anywhere.

You're always dealing with inflation, which is in part intentional since the ideal is not 0% (the US target should be about 2%). That point aside, what you're talking about sounds more like dealing with the inflation you've had in the recent past (as has everyone else, although some clueless Americans seem to think it's just a domestic issue), not what the current inflation is. Even if you had a current inflation of 0% you would still have significantly higher prices compared to a few years ago because the inflation was previously high during that period. Surely you don't think coming down to normal levels of inflation means that the prices just go back down again?

 

[Squarechoke]

It doesn't matter what the rate is. The dollar's worth is at the lowest point in American history. That's what happens when liberal dummies print a whole bunch of money we dont have and then put it into circulation. The spike in 2022 was thanks to Joe Biden. Now a 2 roll paper towel case costs 6 dollars lol.

Compared to what? It's a lot stronger now than it's been at times in the past compared to other big currencies. For example, it's 23.6% stronger compared to the Euro than it was 10 years ago. I hope you don't mean general prices since prices are meant to go up over time so that would be the Captain Obvious statement of the decade and a meaningless point.

Lol, everything you just said is wonrg.

Defunding the police happened and it was a disaster:

Portland among U.S. cities adding funds back into police departments

The debate about public safety spending has also shifted for departments from New York City to Los Angeles. They are seeing their finances partially restored in response to rising homicides, an officer exodus and political pressures.

In many cases I'd call it regression, just like in their case. Going from legalizing gay marriage to mutilating little kids and allowing gay men with wigs on in female bathrooms is not what I call progression.

 

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

This is where a lot of people find themselves these days and it's pretty much where I am in a lot of ways.

The problem came when the left stopped focussing on economic issues and went full in on social issues.

The irony is that there's still massive economic inequality in a lot of western countries (particularly the US and the UK) but most people have become totally accepting of people from different races and different sexaulities.

The left ends up focussing on crazy or trivial stuff whilst masses of people go hungry.

Astute observation. It's no surprise that these indentity shit policies are pushed by corporations in the most capitalistic free market societies in the world. Just virtue signal that you have a gay muslim black executive and be left alone to behave like a POS on all the rest.

 

[AfroBanana]

Probably the most annoying things you can do unsolicited / constantly tell people is

-push your political beliefs on people

-push your religious beliefs on people

-push your diet (veganism for example) on people

-push your sexual preferences or identity on people

If you’re a celeb or business it’s even more dumb

Are celebs really becoming right wing nuts? or is it just people that always been this way like athletes becoming more vocal.
