It’s a good thing that all workers experience life the same way as invented metrics
uhhhh let them eat
cockcake?“Do you think the rate of inflation has risen or stayed the same since this time last year.”
People are correctly pointing out that inflation has made prices worse. The fact that the rate is down is little consolation when the rate has been very high and is still higher than for their salaries.
Liberals and being weasels, name a more iconic duo
Capitalists and being invasive pigs.
I personally think that requiring ordinary people to understand differential calculus to parse the question is cool and normal.
Fortunately they don’t need calculus to recognize the state’s BS in this case
It’s the equivalent of raising the prices by 10% before having a “blow out sale” of 5%
More like raising prices 15% and then acting like it’s a sale to only raise them an additional 4%
Someone posted an inflation graph on here the other day that showed the huuuuuuuge spike a year ago and the not-even-close-to-comparable dip that’s happened since then. That question is absolutely a cherry picked piece of data.
Translated into reality:
The economy is so bad we don’t even base our measurements of it on the assumption that it’s stable.
these people make me seethe with hatred
Am I out of touch? 🤔
No. It’s the masses who are wrong. 🙃
anytime I see some liberal writing about how the economy is doing great and they don’t understand why we think it’s bad I think of this

If you are outside the top decile then things have objectively gotten worse over the past 30 years.
Nice try, but I’ve lived with narcissistic parents long enough to recognize when I’m being gaslit.
hey nerd, break question 1 down into income quartiles for me.
oh, look at that - the other 4 questions have immediately been explained by the rate of wage increase per income quartile? wow
fuck, i went to the replies and Aimee fucking Therese made this exact point.
Fish hook theory is proved correct once again. Libs and Conservatives are both fully on board with the “facts don’t care about your feelings” method of argument and don’t seem to understand that being smarmy to people who are miserable doesn’t get them to like you.
And then they follow their feelings and twist the facts to suit them
I thought the title was a joke
To paraphrase Bill Clinton’s campaign slogan “It’s the inflation, Stupid.”
