Back on Twitter for a bit. But will probably delete and leave again. Many tweets in general will also be deleted.

@godandchocolate Im sorry WHAT?

@natemup You probably did learn about it in school! Gotta split the chamber in 3 for the 6 year cycle. But definitely not one of those facts that sticks

@risdiplam @Joeinblack @Mark_Philias @grok Like, historically we just haven't seen stagflation like the American economy has been through and people are still generally able to get ahead even though inflation makes it feel like more of a treadmill than it has been in decades

[Sporkredfox @Sporkredfox]

@risdiplam @Joeinblack @Mark_Philias @grok Certainly 2025 the bottom saw wage stagnation and given government assistance cuts likely there has been a pretty large downward swing especially compared to dube's analysis. Like i do think the bottom has gotten hosed recently but i still think the sentiment doesn't match

@risdiplam @Joeinblack @Mark_Philias @grok Median. Most people are seeing real gains

[Sporkredfox @Sporkredfox]

The r word and other slurs are always gonna be an insta block for me

@Joeinblack @Mark_Philias @grok Sorry about the post/delete, had a toddler crawl on me

[Sporkredfox @Sporkredfox]

@Joeinblack @Mark_Philias @grok Which could explain the bad feelings about it that are far above what you would expect sentiment to look at. I think you can actually layer some other factors (housing) and i have a variety of theories (housing) but they are largely outside just economy scope

[Sporkredfox @Sporkredfox]

@Joeinblack @Mark_Philias @grok Real median income. Idk, according to your ideology i should be agreeing that everything is economically more terrible than ever but it's not true. It *is* true that people *feel* like things are generally worse even if they aren't personally worse and plenty of things *are* bad

They have treated lightly

the injury to my people:

“Peace, peace!” they say,

though there is no peace

[Sporkredfox @Sporkredfox]

@TaglesTopGuy It's not a threat

@MikeYeager56003 @Joeinblack Price controls are literally how utilities work, they are allowed to charge operating cost + return on equity

I mean, for this specific issue you could learn fight the despair by learning about your PUC and what local regs govern ROE for you. It's simply not true that no one is doing anything or that things are getting monotonically worse for that matter

@BrianFragaNCR Ezio is my favorite AC character even if it maybe isn't the best ac game anymore. Ubisoft has been trying for 17 years to recreate as magical a world and character, Black Flag is probably the closest they have come (cowards really need to do reconstruction)

[Sporkredfox @Sporkredfox]

@mary_pezzulo Yeah, fair enough! I mean I still love them

[Sporkredfox @Sporkredfox]

@mary_pezzulo Jonah is one of the best veggie tales stories because it is forced to grapple a bit more. It's remarkable though how much i am happy to have my child watch them repeatedly. Basics are basic for a reason, and love your neighbors is something too many fail at

[Sporkredfox @Sporkredfox]

@mary_pezzulo Veggie Tales is great but also very limited to a didactic reading of biblical literature which is a pretty serious shortcoming when you learn some of the writers were pretty keen on things like genociding their enemies
