Why does this simple chart make leftists so crazy?
>>540416040May want to split hourly earnings into income brackets.
>>540416117What do you do for work and how much are you spending on groceries each month?
>>540416117The data is the data.
>>540416139who wants to know fednigger?
>>540416040>AverageShow median.
>>540416040What mega retard fucked up America so badly between 2020 and 2024?
>>540416139I'm a data analyst and have no issues with groceries, this isn't personal. This data is incomplete as it doesn't necessarily show what potentially major portions of the population are experiencing relative to wages and CPI. The dramatic differences between average and median wage being the most obvious example of a lack of complexity in the presentation not giving a full picture. >>540416144Not really, no.
>>540416144No it isn't. Minimum wage might have skyrocketed but middle class wages did not. They break even whilst I got dragged lower.
>>540416200Even that isn't that useful. Need it broken down by income brackets and how many people are in each bracket.
>>540416139that's an oddly defensive response
>>540416302Only a few US states raise their minimum wage significantly above the US federal minimum. If they had kept it up with real 1970s buying power it would be something absurd like $50 an hour now. Then again executive and investor income is stratospheric as they've captured nearly all of the productivity gains of the last 50 years. This isn't even controversial, Sam Altman and other tech welfare niggers have humble bragged about how capital has won several times.
>>540416040Bro if you think caring about grocery prices going up is leftist, I don't know what to tell you
>>540416040Looks like a boring chart. It's actually rightoids that want to destroye the usa so i don't know what you're talking about.
>>540416483That's their retarded marching orders despite making exactly the same complaint under the "Biden" administration. It's absurd and I think they want to lose to keep the uniparty seesaw going.
>>540416139What's with this trend of faggots demanding datamining? Fuck off. These are our problems, fix them or else.
>>540416040because none of them cook food, they are lazy and incompetent so they don't understand what "grocery" prices are, and instead just see that it cost $20 to Door Dash a burrito now.
>>540416312Between 2019 and now my current job's starting salary went up 14.3%, minimum wage increased by 43%. The largest increase for minimum wage increase was between 2022 and 2023; which correlates with the sharp rise in the price of groceries.
>>540416040CPI is disingenuous and easily manipulated with arbitrary goods substitutions and hedonic adjustments.
>>540416818Yeah it wasn't minimum wage that raised grocery prices anon. Those are up all over the continent. Minimum wage economic activity is a tiny portion of the economy.
>>540416855Shockingly true. I only found out recently how readily they fuck with the basket of goods, completely ruining the data.
>>540416040fake chart
>>540416415The problem is raising the minimum wage doesn't raise all ships, it just sinks the bigger ones. Don't get me wrong I'd rather the capitalist incomes (anyone making over 300k) be taxed and monitored appropriately, but I hate the attitude that within the current system raising minimum wages helps the little guy. The more you alienate the middle class the more demoralized it becomes, and the middle class's does all the useful and complex work.
>>540416894want a real laugh? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-homeownership-rate-minneapolis-fed-study/ https://www.minneapolisfed.org/article/2026/new-homeownership-measure-puts-people-firstit's shocking how bad their methods are. economics is truly a sham.
>>540416040Just seems to me that if things were as great as they say they are then graphs like this wouldn't have to be spammed all the time.
>>540416040>government made up data now show prices of hamburgers, gold and rent
>>540416872Every single time it goes up, magically so does rent & groceries. Sorry but I don't buy it. The business owners don't want to miss 1$ so they raise everything to compensate.
>>540417013It doesn't sink the bigger ones. You're under the mistaken impression it was minimum wage increases in your province that raised the price of goods. It's objectively not true. But yes capital isn't giving commensurate wage increases to the middle class as that *will* come right out of their pocket. The amount of passive income niggers sucking off the money printer (theft, essentially), has never been higher.
>>540417091Anon...please look at the macroeconomic data across the US and Canada. It's *NOT* minimum wage doing that. House prices for example, a huge amount in BC was chinks, and the rest of the country its mass immigration. That's a huge part of price increases in other goods as well.
>>540417044Holy shit that's some bad data. Living in moms basement means you're a homeowner, kek.
>>540417222they would also consider you a homeowner if you lived in the same building as your landlord.
>>540417349Fucking unbelievable. That's ching chang or Soviet levels of manipulating statistics.
>>540416285>I'm a data analystOf course you are. I expect you've detected a virus in my microsoft and I need to redeem some Apple gift cards for you to fix it too.>potentially major portions of the population are experiencing relative to wagesYeah, I hear that unemployed brown people are struggling to afford burrito delivery these days.
>>540416144Garbage data can be called data too. Calling it "data" is not an argument
>>540416040It's the right that's always complaining and voting in populist to "fix" the eonomy.
>>540418462I'm white you fucking dipshit. Last white man standing in this jeet and chink filled shithole run by a golem of the BIS.
>>540416040It doesn't, it makes Republicans scream that you should ignore that they are pricing you out of life while claiming socialism would it.
>>540421730I'd like to see that taken back to '70. The 80s were bad decade for housing.
