Ok, but one on the right is pretty common, I see it in my line of work all the time, with people have much much more money than that.
It’s incredibly difficult for people to shift to spending down portfolio. And really hard for high achievers to shift to “off.”

Also! Have you ever thought “jfc why do the Qs advertise incessantly at like NBA games??”
This is your answer. They basically have to spend an enormous amount of their fees on marketing, they can’t keep any of it

Anyway. I don’t think they’re telling the truth about “overwhelmingly in favor.” They’ve been calling me 2x per day for months.

I saw most progressives in favor of congestion pricing, but they came from the angle of “haha it’s so stupid to think this could possibly hurt even 1 poor person.” Which is the same problem.
There’s def a few poor people out there for whom congestion pricing sucks, and that has to be okay.

I think 3.1% inflation (5.5% over 2 years) is in the range of “not that high.” 2% inflation for all goods and services is the target.
27% over 5 years is noticeable though
We’re all understanding our grandparents’ “coca cola used to be a nickel!”

Also, yes please keep posting all over the interwebs that prices are rising quickly due to Trump (completely sincere, please do this). Make those Tiktoks fam.

Most food prices simply have not risen much over the last 1-2 yrs. So it’s a combination of cumulative inflation over 5 yrs & people benchmarking to prior periods (here’s where I disagree with WS - price levels are noticeably higher over 5 yrs!!) and people primed due to soc media

Eh, I think this is actually evidence in favor of “it’s the narrative” (just not driven by MSM, more soc med). Right now, inflation is not really that high. But people are expecting it to be high due to tariffs! All over bsky I see “holy sht just went to the grocery store & prices truly are insane”

Dating myself with this reference but, yes that’s my vibes based analysis
I think a lot about whether societal discontent can partially traced to this.
For most of history people had no idea how the .1% of people really lived, now they’re mainlining Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous for 6 hours a day

I mean, fares only cover 1/3 of NYC transit budget lol. So NYC is free 2/3 weeks 😂
And all the time for the 50% of bus riders who don’t pay and some substantial amount of subway riders as well

Less important, but the article lists “free buses” as one of the things Europeans “take for granted” then goes on to list Tallinn (Estonia), Montpellier, Dunkirk, Luxembourg, and Malta as examples of free public transport. Sounds like a lot of Europeans (98-99%?) can’t take it for granted.

I fear this would actually be pretty popular which would be terrible in the long run (looooooong run I guess) for buyers, artificially prop up prices, and also pretty dramatically increase risk of foreclosures in a housing downturn due to much smaller amount of principal having been paid down

That’s my understanding of the broad outline though there’s all sorts of other complicated factors that are over my head that affect reserves and TGA
