No it wasn’t though.

It was pretty high from 1965 onwards and stayed high relative to the prewar period. The period in the mid 80s was high compared to the post GFC
Period with way higher interest rates.

I think the problem is we had been through a period of historically incredibly low inflation. 1985 inflation was backed in and 3.5% is better than 15%.

It can be true that for a lot of households they have lots more money. Especially if you have what is effectively a ‘free’ mortgage.

If you don’t the actual real terms rise in home spending is something nobody under 30 will have ever seen in their lifetime.

So this plays. For example.

But that kind of increase will, at Lower income levels, basically wipe out most of the gains before we talk increases in student debt, utilities, food and healthcare costs.

For older people with mortgages from before 2021 they doing just peachy for sure.

Loving the ‘I’m a FedEx driver I can just stop -here-‘ vibe with this one.

Sure he had room to back up and still get into the back but he just blocked the crossing at Volunteer Park.

It’s one thing to own the libs. It’s another to try and say that you actually think this looks ok.

See also the Lincoln bathroom.

This is a yummy pastry I am sure. It is not a croissant on account of the shape. It is not THAT yummy.

They seem to think an AI rendering of a gaudy as fuck ballroom is a mic drop.

I have been pointing out to people who say it will be beautiful if they think the Oval Office has been improved by his eye for detail.

They usually stop interacting at that point because even his most ardent fans won’t go there.

I am starting to think he has a gilt complex about something.

My dog just got out of bed to go to the living room to get himself one of his toys and brought it back to bed.

It’s like clowns like this. They went wanting a viral moment. They wanted to stir shit up and all they got was ignored. Not because they’re savage but because they’re silly.

Laugh. Mock the weirdos. The worst thing we ever did was take these clowns seriously. They want that. Don’t give it to them.
