I don’t see it. Like, honestly, I can’t see it. If you zoom in you can see months and years.
The major dip I see in 2020 was from around 50 billion in Feb to 25 billion in April.
Hey! You found when they cherry picked the dates for this headline! Congrats!

You can even see the dip in Elon’s networth in 2020 in this chart lol If they had started 1 month earlier, Elons net worth would have only 3x instead they cherry picked a date after Elon’s networth had halved, so instead it 6x’ed.

Looks like the owner isnt taking it down and will force them to take it down.
I’m curious what the legal reason is for this. They arent actually using any illegal IP right?

This is the S&P 500, guess where they’re starting this headline from? Guess what happened immediately before this report’s “2020” start date.

Ok, so … Biden’s economic policies are worse than Trump’s were?
This is a cherry picked headline based on the stockmarket crashing immediately after covid/lockdowns hit. Its a good thing that Biden’s economy has fully recovered since then. There was no guarantee that we wouldn’t be in a depression after the lockdowns. The fact that the economy and stock market are back to normal after covid is not a bad thing, despite the scary sounding headline.

Remember, any time you see this headline, they’re cherrypicking the date to after the richest men lost 50% of their wealth in the Stock collapse immediately after covid/lockdowns hit.

There are certainly a lot of structural reasons people keep mortgages rather than paying them off.
- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 11 months ago:
We can literally build as much housing as we want. If a corporation want to invest in housing, it is a good thing. Build baby build.

Cities should def be funding more public housing.
- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 11 months ago:
Then… What is the limit to how much housing we can put on 1 acre?
- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 11 months ago:
If private equity wants to invest in housing, that’s great.
There is no fundamental limit on how much housing we can build.

- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 11 months ago:
One thing I’ve noticed is that people I know have 2 problems.
- they might not know what things should cost. If the prices rises, I notices it right away. I shop at the same grocer and know the standard price of everything I buy. I notice a price increase when I pull it off the shelf.
Most my friends don’t notice a price increase until they check out.
- My friends that do notice a price increase never substitute or change their meals. They will still buy the same meals. Even if the stuff they need go on sale every other week.
I’ve found that usually most my stuff I can still buy on sale at least 1 or 2 times per month.
These two problems mean that our generation doesn’t really put much pressure on stores to keep prices low.
Rent: Housing costs in America are entire caused by a supply shortage due to limitations on supply. We can literally build as much housing as we want and set the market rate at anything, but since the 60s America hasn’t built much and the little we have built has been expensive single family homes. This is a choice voters have made for 60 years, but voters can also make other choices.

The vast majority of Americans own houses
- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 11 months ago:
This is completely wrong lol
- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 11 months ago:
Rent is increasing because there are millions more people but we haven’t built enough housing since the 60s. The US is now 5million houses short.
“No reason for rent to be increasing”
What a bullshit statement.
- Comment on Should I just quit urban and social life for a rural and lonely life? 1 year ago:
I hate to tell you this, my friend, but the rural people have way more problems usually than the people that you’re probably used to. Generally, it’s just easier to hide out there.

- Comment on Is charging electric car at holiday house "theft"? 1 year ago:
Speaking to the Mirror, Amanda said: “It’s not just the cost – it’s also about safety. Charging a battery using a three-pin plug can take around 30 hours.
“That’s a significant amount of power flowing through a standard household socket for an extended period of time.”
You have circuit breakers specifically if it’s using too much power.
