The goal is not to save people or save government money.

Let’s back up. If you’re posting “good morning beautiful” to ANYONE YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW, you’re probably a piece of shit. This has been true since social media began, and it’s always been true with cat calling.

We’re the bad guys. Get anally fucked to death, pedo protector.

Perfectly valid to feel that way. None of these numbers would ever explain away everything. People are suffering. Things are harder for most. Quantifying it is complicated.

When, uhhh, when WAS the US economy good for most? Has to be pre-pandemic at minimum.

I wish you the best of luck finding something that works well for you. You got this.

A quick proxy could be overall wage increases for the year. I’m sure average wages for new jobs may be findable somewhere, but BLS recently released this:

Compensation costs for civilian workers increased 3.4 percent, not seasonally adjusted, for the 12- month period ending in December 2025. Wages and salaries increased 3.3 percent and benefit costs increased 3.4 percent over the year.

From BLS report USDL-26-0184 on Feb 10, 2026.

Yes. She would have not been directly involved in the production, amd she was fairly new to the position anyway in the grand scope of the methodology and procedures behind this type of report (she was about a year and a half in), and statistical agencies and the civil servants who work there take methodology VERY seriously (I know, I’ve worked with these kinds of agencies) and they’d have a LOT of reviews and checks in place for something this high profile to ensure it’s as accurate as it can be.

If anything it was more a slap in the face of the non-political government workers who geek out on statistical methodology and just want to produce the most accurate stats they can.

Have no knowledge of this website, but here’s an article about her firing:

A large building with a lot of rentals would be taxed at a high total value, and this increased cost would be passed on to renters, thereby defeating the purpose. It should o ly apply to unrented properties.

Side note, I know nothing about rent control though.

Look up Focus on the Family. This motherfucker is partly responsible for the Handmaid’s Tale fetish some of the US has right now.

That’s the beauty of this religion, especially in America. It’s the best excuse book to hide behind. No matter which way anything goes, it was always God’s will.

And, as my dad once said, I’ll have to answer to God one day, but ONLY to him.

How fucking convenient you abusive pile of vomit.

Go learn simple regression analysis (not necessarily the commenter, but anyone). Then you’ll understand why it’s simply a prediction machine. It’s guessing probabilities for what the next character or word is. It’s guessing the average line, the likely followup. It’s extrapolating from data.

This is why there will never be “sentient” machines. There is and always will be inherent programming and fancy ass business rules behind it all.

We simply set it to max churn on all data.

Also just the training of these models has already done the energy damage.

Wait for Gen X to pop in as usual and seek attention with some “we always get ignored” bullshit.

Gen Z lookin fine as hell.

The generation that couldn’t be bothered.

This is eventually going to result in a new Black Panther or Guardian Angel group like the 60s/70s.

Will be interesting to see these masked pieces of shit face some actual competition brandishing fucking rifles.

And character is like a tree and reputation is a shadow of it, and it takes a hell of a lot less to bring it down than to grow it up.

I’ve watched this go down long enough in enough industries to know better than to believe their claim of not logging.

You’re being watched. Hell, your data’s probably being handed over to cops without your knowledge.
