Real median personal income shows a similar trend. The median American is simply considerably richer than they were 50 years ago.

People are way, WAY richer than they were in the 1940's and 50's too. Like for example in 1950 about a third of Americans didn't have hot running water.

So why are we in a new gilded age then?

These are three different things.

1) minimum wage is the least it is legally permitted to pay people.

2) my link is what people ACTUALLY made, which seems far more relevant, no?

3) income inequality absolutely is a problem but it is entirely possible, common even, for inequality to increase while incomes for everyone are also going up. Average person is better off but rich people are even more better off.

The third is a good example of what I’m talking about, actually. It’s absolutely fair to complain about increasing inequality but in that case we should say that! Let’s not say that wages haven’t increased or have barely increased in 50 years because it just isn’t true.

Gas here up another 20 cents per gallon since inauguration in addition to the 10 cents per gallon immediately after inauguration. That's almost 10% in about 2 weeks.

Allow myself to quote... myself.

Gas now up another 40 cents per gallon since my prior post. That's 70 cents per gallon total, or 23%, since Trump took over.

HE DID THAT!

Sadly, I'd be thrilled with those prices, they're $8.35 a dozen here at ALDIS.

And somehow the Mexican spot I go to still charges the same for their breakfast burrito that they did 6 months ago. And it has THREE eggs in it. 3 eggs is living large now-a-days

No single person in all of human history is a more fitting human embodiment of Capitalism than the current sitting US President. When literally every single behavior and policy of his, and the subsequent affects of, is based on his Capitalist greed, he is to blame. Hell, their problems with China is because China started playing Capitalism and are beating them at it. Also "from the news I see" is a big part of that problem. US media has been cowtowing to Capitalist bs for decades, even when it puts them in direct danger of being destroyed.

Coffee is gonna get worse as the species of coffee are becoming obliterated due to various reasons. Same with chocolate. If you've noticed, a lot of products are starting to label themselves as "chocolatey" which I'm pretty sure is because they're gonna be reducing and slowly phasing out the actual chocolate in them.

I told people back then that its likely the US never recovers from that alone. The stuff they did in his first term would take decades to undo, and there being a 2nd term has pretty much permanently destroyed American foreign diplomacy, which will lead to China, India, and Russia filling that void, and will leave America's foreign diplomacy capabilities to basically be threaten. We'll be Russia in no time, and uh, hope people see how that's gone.

What saddens me most about how the electorate has been so easily swayed by the people who influence their lives through the media is that as with Trump's first term, his supporters have not so much forgiven him for his egregious crimes and convictions, they've been conditioned to see him as a living martyr fighting for their religious freedoms, sacrificing himself for being a champion of their racist misogynist beliefs. And now his supporters see His Second Coming as a sign that they were right all along, that every lie they believed in was somehow the right thing to do. That's how insane they've become in order to raise Trump above their heads and proclaim him worthy of being the nation's first Dictator-in-Chief.

Meanwhile in South America...

Peru... 30 generic eggs for PEN 17, leading to USD 4.57 aprox.

Paraguay... 20 eggs for PYG 29,250 which is USD 3.71. That means that Trump is screwing up big time and the rest of the world maintains the prices for now.

I know we import a lot of fruit from latin american countries but I think the time is correct to start importing eggs.

Even with the tariffs they should put the domestic farms out of business!

I think you're more likely to get egg tariffs out of this admin than egg imports lol.

A chicken coop in the backyard may make sense these days. But give it a roof to keep bird poop from falling into it from infected birds flying by.

I thought about it the last 2 years.. but the hens only give a good amount of eggs for about 2 years and they have to be replaced.

I also did some research that a new flock of birds doesn't always get along with the new one and there may be territorial fights.

Also there's the smell..

But I might just have to deal with it.. maybe buy 10 birds so after 2 years.. atleast they'll be producing 3-4 if not 8-10

Up another 10 cents per gallon today from yesterday's post. Almost a full dollar in the 3.5 weeks since inauguration.

Are we winning yet?

I need to point this and I am bugging my mind a lot... why Trump is pushing this bullcrap? And why is so near with Russia?

I am realizing that Russia might solve what US needs: food and fuel... if Trump and Putin makes a BIG alliance , that would really solve each other issues... US with their food issues and Russia with the weapon issues along how to get out of the war mode they are.

But that implies that the NATO and BRICS will lose a very important member each one... NATO with the US and BRICS with Russia.

BRICS can work without Russia.. it won't work without China and India and honestly I have my doubts if those 2 can work together anyways.. they may not like Trump, but they truly hate each other.

I take it you aren’t aware of trumps history with Russia and its oligarchs? I’ll go out on a limb and say it’s probably how he made most of his money.

As far as I can tell he made most of his money through either inheriting it from his dad or defrauding investors in the only public company he ever ran until recently.

That’s how it started…

How Russian Money Helped Save Trump’s Business

After his financial disasters two decades ago, no U.S. bank would touch him. Then foreign money began flowing in.
