It’s me or elon and trump faces are oddly similar? Are they fusing?

there is nuance in personal interactions that is stripped away via text so it’s very easy to type something you think is perfectly innocuous in spoken word that doesn’t translate at all

Good point. I will add that on the internet you are not even sure the person is a native English speaker. Which add another barrier.

And now that I think about it, they may be even cultural differences that can have an impact on subjects like politics.

All of that will some groups try to brainwash us into buying their products or their hateful ideology.

But there is something I liked about the old Reddit and here on Lemmy/Mastodon is that we still can some self introspection like Op did

If you design a door handle and people cannot open it: your design is shit. Point.

This was stupid when apple did it with the ‘you’re holding the phone wrong, idiot’, it is criminal when it is done on a security feature.

The Elon Musk-owned automaker has a troubling history of owners getting locked in their cars without power. Some of these cases may be down to user error, since most Teslas come with manual release levers.

Of course, let’s blame the users 🙄

No clue, I’m mainly a lurker 🤷‍♂️

I think the problem is that inflation does not impact the poorest population the same:

The CPI weighting is based on an average consumer, the poorest people will have more sensibility to price change for things like food or rent.

Rent and food prices increase in total by 20-25% in 4 years. If you were already tight at the beginning of the Biden presidency, you’re now have a high chance of being homeless.

If I interpret the first figure of this article correctly, the 25% poorest of the population have always been ‘shafted no lube’ (pardon my economists jargon), but were about to have a wages growth above inflation; before the fight against inflation was finally won (well done, joe) and the slaves slaved again.

I think that the problem is that the metric used for measuring the wages growth is an average:

In a society where most of the wealth goes to a few, an average is not necessarily a good measure:

They have the following remark below this graph:

For example, about 57 percent of the WGT sample had positive real wage gains during 2019, whereas during 2022, only 45 percent of people had positive real wage growth. Put another way, despite higher median nominal wage growth, the share of people with positive real wage growth between 2019 and 2022 due to higher inflation fell by 12 percentage points.

Edit, from the bottom of the article:

Your own wage growth experience might not look like that of your neighbors or your colleagues, and it might not resemble that of the person with median wage growth either.

It’s having a bad hair day, give it a rest!

I like how the 16y kid stay calm, even when the holigans try to intimidate him into stop filming. More balls than the goons 💪
