correct, though the US has a very long history of not doing that. Unless you truly believe women and POC are simply not as smart as white men.

You are correct on all points, of course. But airdvr is also right but only insofar as those who returned Trump to power really believed what was false was true. Given that we are no longer a democracy, and given their complicity by the constant sane washing of Trump for eyeballs and profit, I might be rightly entertained by the evisceration of the Fourth Estate during Trump 2.0

That probably reflects their need for that money. Many, if not most, minorities get the short end of the financial stick. While money in the US isn’t a zero sum game, with our rather limited manufacturing sector now, it’s much closer than it was in the 1950’s. And wealth concentration in the financial elites is far more significant than it was in the 1950’s.

Real average hourly earnings for all employees increased 0.2 percent from August to September, seasonally adjusted, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. This result stems from an increase of 0.4 percent in average hourly earnings combined with an increase of 0.2 percent in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U).

Real average weekly earnings decreased 0.1 percent over the month due to the change in real average hourly earnings combined with a 0.3-percent decrease in the average workweek.  

Real average hourly earnings increased 1.5 percent, seasonally adjusted, from September 2023 to September 2024. The change in real average hourly earnings combined with a decrease of 0.6 percent in the average workweek resulted in a 0.9-percent increase in real average weekly earnings over this period.

Did this care include taxpayer funded sex reassignment procedures?  First reassignment was 2022.

You are conflating wages and earnings.

 

 

This is going to blow your mind, but it is possible for your wages to go up and your earnings to go down......

Silly me. When I go to the store they don’t care whether I’m paying with wages or earnings.

Correct. They also don't care if you are a legal or illegal immigrant, nor whether you had reassignment surgery in prison. Nor do they care about the amount of fracking.

They don't even care if you make up your own facts to make yourself feel better.

 

But, let me ask you this, if you go to your boss and tell him you only want to work 10 hours a week in stead of 40 hours a week. And he then approves your reduced work hours, but doubles your hourly wage. Are you going to be upset your earnings are down?

Because of all of the leases approved by the Trump administration. I’m not sure if you know this,(and clearly you don’t) but it takes some time from approval to production. Any increase is crude oil production is a function on leases approved before the Biden administration and development on private lands. 
Unless there is some “drill baby drill” policy promulgated by the Biden administration that I am unaware of. Please enlighten.

You mean the same way that inflation lags policy? Or the MAGA mindset is these things only work when it fits their version of the facts?

No, Democrat Larry Summers and Secretary of the Treasury during the Obama administration warned that the Inflation Reduction Act was going to be inflationary. The Dems did not listen and BOOM! Inflation not seen in a generation.

Haha, shouldn’t have expected anything less from you. If it’s bad then it’s the dems fault, if it’s good then it’s Trumps genius.

Pretty much every economist with credibility says Trumps economic plan is nuts (and let’s face it - even you can’t deny he’s had 6 bankruptcies, or were those also Bidens fault?)

I never said Trump was a genius. I said that the former Treasury Secretary, appointed by Obama, warned the IRA was going to be inflationary, and guess what…it was.
