While I totally agree with this the irony is china turned out to be the slightly less evil capitalist than America. And only because of their one party system.

Oooo Kay.
Not sure why you found it necessary to explain the joke.
But like you I am also making fun of flat earthers.

Absolutely. The followers do actually believe the earth is flat. The ones propagating the misinformation are absolutely grifting and they know it.

The moon is a transparent light source.
You might be asking yourself how does a transparent object generate it’s own light? Well let me explain: trust me bro.

As an American China doesn’t have to steal our tech. They’ve already surpassed America in every measurable metric except for Gdp and consumption which isn’t really a win at all.

Your distrust if the official source is irrelevant. Completely. That’s the information literally every single financial institution is using regardless of it being real or not.

It’s 3.4%. across the board. Believe it or not it’s a fact.

So I don’t like dealing with “trust me bro” arguments but I think you’re confusing what inflation actually is.
Current U.S. Inflation Rates: 2000-2026 share.google/KYoH4YRuDcDl8tJje
But here’s an official link to what the inflation rate is and was.
The reason you’re feeling like things are significantly more expensive despite the relatively small inflation rate is that inflation works somewhat like compound interest.
For example, if a product cost $100 in 2025 and inflation was 5%, the price would rise to $105. If inflation is then 2.3% in 2026, that 2.3% increase is applied to the $105 not the original $100. The new price would be about $107.42.
That’s why a lower inflation rate doesn’t mean prices are going back down. It simply means they’re increasing at a slower rate.
Prices generally don’t go down just because inflation falls. They go up more slowly. The notable exceptions are things like gasoline and hand grenades.

The second movie is all about spies, which means there was a Cold War, and if there was a Cold War, there was a Russia, and if there was a Russia, there was a Stalin and a Lenin, which means there were communists, and eventually a Red Scare and a McCarthy, which means there was a nuclear scare and, naturally, nuclear weapons.
The Porsche girl character, I can’t remember her name because I’m 40, had one of those lower-back tattoos, which opens up a whole other series of “which means” implications that I absolutely do not want to get into.
This rabbit hole goes much deeper than Pixar intended.

I sense sarcasm.
But seriously, inflation went up like 8%. Not 33%!
Then again inflation is just when they print more money.

I kid you not, the price of dumplings at the supermarket where I live went from $12 last year to $16 this year.
Four dollars! That’s a 33% increase in the price of dumplings! What the hell happened that they suddenly need 33% more money per bag?
Or take Dollar Tree turning into the $1.25 Tree—and sometimes even more! Some balloons cost five dollars at Dollar Tree. FIVE DOLLARS!
At this point, some of these companies are just making shit up.

Google (www.google.com) is a pure search engine - no weather, no news feed, no links to sponsors, no ads, no distractions, no portal litter. Nothing but a fast-loading search site. For now. Give it a decade.
- Comment on Billionaires hate democracy 1 week ago:
The whole point is to avoid paying. It’s a special little club these fuckers belong to and they sit around with brandy and a monocle laughing maniacally about how they got away with not paying taxes.
They’ll spend more money on avoiding paying taxes then actually paying the taxes which in and of itself is… Evil.

Lol. They don’t like AI around here. It was good though.
Most people don’t understand that media like this isn’t just a prompt put into grok. It’s 100s of hours of actual work, scripting voice acting editing and a pipeline of different applications and programs to achieve something like this.
Gossip.goblin on YouTube is ridiculously good. Highly recommend.

Jesus Christ. You calling me stupid is like a participation trophy calling someone unsuccessful.
And you responded to me jackass. You don’t want to talk to me block me and go back to eating paint chips under the overpass.
Also, what the fuck does your friend’s bank statement have to do with overhead costs for daycares?
You realize your comment sounds so incredibly dumb that I thought English was your second language. And don’t tell me you did that shit on purpose. You didn’t. You’re just stupid.
Jesus fucking Christ you’re what’s wrong with the world.

I’m 40 and I hate just about everything about onions. I can’t stand the taste the smell the texture especially.
The thing I have to grow up about is that there can’t be food without them there would be no flavor. So unfortunate… I love food and I hate onions.

Exactly. There was an arrival on here that said that self check out saved grocery stores 300 billion dollars a year when total revenue for the entire grocery industry is a trillion dollars.
This sub needs significantly better fact checking and moderation. This is obviously a nonsense article with a nonsense number with a % sign after it.

Nothing broke everything worked exactly as it was supposed to.
This is what corporatocracy looks like. Absolutely no regulation or control over the industries that sell things.

I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and the fact that English isn’t your first language that this was some kind of spelling or auto correct error or translation issue and not some sort of feeble attempt to emasculate me.

You’re never going to change their minds. That’s not the point. The point is to push back against them. So people who see the interaction will see the rebuttal and the pushback against the insanity. That’s the important part.

I don’t know what country you’re in. I’m in America and that’s what I was basing my comment on. Which is what the original post was commenting on.
Maybe in your country it’s different and overhead for daycare is Non-Existent… I don’t know.
In any case your disbelief doesn’t make my statement untrue unless you can bake up your claims with some kind of evidence. Instead of “nuh-uh”.
