US official data is here: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/tags/series?t=bls%3Bwages

Those are in 1982-84 dollar amounts.

No idea about German data.

For wages/income/wealth data you usually want to look at the median values, not average. Average gets way skewed by the super rich, so the average value is typically far from the common person. Median shows what the common person earns.

I'm dying.

How do you know that anything it displayed was accurate for those candidates? Every single time I've asked it to include source links, those source links don't actually support the AI's statement.

The softest of soft pushback = abuse. Nice.

Well, that's one candidate. And a reference to an official gov doc doesn't meant the info was extracted or summarized accurately.

How about the others?

The stupidity of some people in that article is jaw dropping.

Also, if they shout at each other now, just wait for the SSA, Medicare, and Medicaid cuts that make hearing aids too expensive for rural boomers.

He should be totally overjoyed, not bitter.

The current stock price, despite YTD of -36%, is still way over any kind of realistic valuation. And by that I mean orders of magnitude off.

Price to earnings makes it still look like a very, very, very hopeful/optimistic startup in the development phase, rather than a withering, fake luxury, niche automaker facing boycotts and being "run" by a full-blown Nazi that everyone hates.

If you still own Tesla shares, get the fuck out of it now. The recent collapse is nothing.

This guy used violence and terrorism because he didn't want my vote to count simply because he didn't like the way I voted. Fuck this asshole. I hope he commits more felonies in prison and gets more time tacked on. 17 years isn't enough for this fascist asshole.

Buying from a reputable operation spares you from a lot of this. Amazon is all hot garbage across the board.

Leave Florida if you can. Especially if you have or are expecting children. Moving isn't always possible, but if you live in Florida know that your state is actively trying to hurt you.

Trump's attorney said it was "unfathomable" that Trump would be ready to balance his legal obligations with his campaigning.

I can't believe this stuff is even allowed in open court. Campaigning isn't even a job. It's a 100% optional thing somebody chooses to do in running for elected office. It can be stopped at any moment for any reason, completely and willingly.

A court date for multiple felonies is an obligation. It's much higher priority. There's no comparison.

If it is a fair excuse, then I guess we should all be campaigning.

Sorry boss, it's unfathomable to work today because I need to campaign. Sorry your honor, jury duty is unfathomable because I'm working the crowds. Sorry IRS, can't file my taxes this year because I'm busy raising money on social media.

Just wait until she drops out:

"Trump is the leader we need, he's bigly strong, aced all his cognitive tests, he's super rich and therefore smart, Biden is too old, blah blah."

The delay means the White House is in apparent conflict with a law

That's the thing. "Apparent" is actually too strong of a word here, because they aren't in conflict with the law at all. Unenforced laws are meaningless laws.

Guy who lies about everything lies again.

before federal immigration agents would consider reducing their presence in Minneapolis,

"Consider" is doing a lot of work there. It guarantees this is an empty promise. I mean, it was anyway, even if it had stronger language, but this means it can be ignored.

Also, why is Bondi blackmailing states? Why are the feds interfering with states' rights?

Here's the arrest list so far. One more big one to add today; can't wait to edit this list.

7 8 more traitors to go, less than 24 hours left

The man is a thief, but there's nothing to steal here. He's lowering his totally bogus $ amount that he supposedly saved the government based on contract and lease cancellations.

Every single contract (~10) that I know very specific details about that was DOGE-cancelled has a problematic "savings" amount on the doge.gov website. Every one is wrong. That's just the 10 I know about where I have privileged information. There's currently more than 8000 listed. I suspect most of those have similar issues with the reported "savings" amount.

This is straight accounting that they are botching.

Nevermind that the $ savings is bogus even if the accounting was accurate. Because these cancellations are costing the US taxpayer big-time in the long run.

Fuck this noise. His ass should be in a holding pen awaiting his sentencing. Then maybe he'd want to do it a little sooner. Unfortunately, we continue to keep handling him with the softest, fluffiest, Downy fresh kid gloves.

OK politicians sure do like wasting taxpayer dollars on unwinnable court cases.

Potentially violates both of these conditions from the GA bond conditions.

The Defendant shall make no direct or indirect threat of any nature against any codefendant;

The Defendant shall not communicate in any way, directly or indirectly, about the facts of this case with any person known to him to be a codefendant in this case except through his or her counsel.
