@TruthWorksLoops @HeathMayo I knew there would be at least one person still defending Trump. Good lord

Or people could read their Bibles to see just how many people besides Jesus worked miracles in Jesus' name. Trump could just as easily be saying he is comparable to Judas, Peter, John, Paul. Or he could be saying he is illustrating John 14:12 in which Jesus states his followers will do even greater works than he himself did.

Christian friends: Let this be the last straw. This is your off-ramp. He’s mocking our faith. He thinks he is comparable to Jesus; that he caused the Pope’s selection. He thinks you don’t care; that you don’t take your faith seriously.
Prove him wrong. Dump him. Praise God.

@squi98218 @PramilaJayapal Except now we are fighting for Israel and not America …
English
During WWII, when we were fighting colossally intelligent people in Germany and Japan, and we understood that it was a fight for survival, our prices not only increased, but many things were rationed with ration stamps. I don't remember ration stamps, and most people who knew them, have died. But it is part of our history. From Valley Forge, to ration stamps, we have never been afraid to fight for right.

Gas prices up 21% in one month – the biggest jump in 60 years. Inflation at a four-year high. Consumer confidence at its lowest point since 1952.
Donald Trump promised to lower your costs. Instead he started an illegal war and sent your bills through the roof.
There’s nothing "America First” about any of this.
English
@dmunjal @PramilaJayapal Biden never promised something he couldn’t deliver one “day one.” Trump is a liar and conman. Not even up for debate. He’s got you brain washed and sucking on his wanker. Taste good?
English
@PramilaJayapal Did you say anything when inflation was 9.1% under Biden?
Your chart shows this happening in 2022.
You should delete this post.

“Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.” – Donald Trump, 8/9/24
Heather Long@byHeatherLong
JUST IN: Inflation soared in March to 3.3% y/y--> the highest annual rate since May 2024. The war in Iran is squeezing middle income and lower income households. **Inflation in March alone rose 0.9%. That’s the biggest one-month jump since June 2022** Gas jumped +21% in March Fuel oil soared +31% in March Airfares +15% in March Food was flat for the month, but is likely to go up later in the spring/summer.

@televisionaryZW @LauraMiers Unemployment is much easier to manipulate. Labor force participation is a straight forward and more difficult number to manipulate. It’s also a better representation of who’s working and who’s not. Projections are we go into the 50s….we are fucked
English
@AvocadoPablo_ @LauraMiers It’s within the norms it’s been since women entered the workforce. I don’t have the slightest clue what future trying to say (and the numbers come from the same people you say are lying about unemployment, so they’re not lying about this?)
English
This is the most depressing post I’ve ever seen on NextDoor. My heart absolutely breaks for young people. Older generations do not seem to comprehend how bad things are.
What are young people going to do with 6 figures in student loan debt & no jobs?
English
@jrl_josh @ChristianHeiens They won't eliminate property taxes or any other taxes. That's an election year hook. Nothing more. They'll use it to fundraise off of. Once they get in office it will be as dead as mass deportations are to Trump.
English
The most loyal demographic in the entire country for the GOP in 2024 were 20 year old White men. And yet it's like these people don't even exist when you look at how Republican politicians do their messaging.
Instead, we see endless appeals for Fully Automated Total Luxury Boomer Communism even more than we already have.
>Zero serious proposals in Congress for entitlement reform that Boomers collect, and which are rapidly bankrupting this country
>At the state level, multiple Red states are planning to eliminate property taxes to subsidize homes for Boomers that Millenials and Zoomers can't even afford to buy
>And now whatever this is

Boating is not a luxury in South Carolina. It’s a way of life. Our state is home to more than 350,000 registered recreational boats and a marine industry supporting over 27,000 jobs and generating a $6.5 billion economic impact. Our No Tax on Boat Loan Interest Act extends the above-the-line loan interest deduction for cars to boats, allowing American families to deduct up to $10,000 annually in boat loan interest on American-made boats. More affordable boats mean more families recreating on the water, more marine manufacturing jobs in South Carolina, and more investment in an industry already generating billions in economic impact. South Carolina STRONG.

@purse_jame48483 @JeffreyRuesga At what point do we stop blaming Biden?
Didn't Trump say he would fix everything on Day One?

I'm getting crushed here living in Cali. Gas is $7, Diesel $9, tried buying a Gatorade at the gas station, cost 4.75. Just spent 80 at the store for very basic items. Struggling painter contractor, super competitive. Down to my last 2k. Rebt a single bedroom $1500. God help me
English
@televisionaryZW @LauraMiers The unemployment rate is a completely manipulated statistic used to keep people docile. They want you to believe things are fine because "it's in the 4's."
Look at the labor force participation. That tells the full story.
English
@LauraMiers It might change at any moment but the unemployment rate is in the 4’s right now. Not fantastic but pretty good. Saying that things are bad is just wrong but I suppose it gets you some engagement
English
@PeterOhser @LauraMiers New college graduate unemployment rates are approaching 10%....
English
@LauraMiers My son is graduating college in two weeks and he and every one of his friends already have good jobs waiting for them. It’s never as bad as it seems. We have a 4.3% unemployment rate., which says it’s not that bad. Sometimes it’s the individual and not the market.
English
@Christy4Change Ah yes. Because patients always listen to what we say and take medications as we prescribe them and never miss their follow up appointments.
English
@bairdg3 @skumWgmi Nobody is relying on either party to change things for the better. All government is done has ruined the lives of the middle class by crushing our buying power and eroding standards of living for the working class. There's another option by the way. Rebellion. It's already begun
English
Ok. You can make excuses or you can make a way. I switched jobs after 22 years because teaching wasn’t ever going to
provide everything I wanted/needed. I loved it, but a change was needed to provide for my family better. Many people do. If they choose not to, they choose their life. That’s fine, but don’t expect your life to get better if you’re relying on either party to change things for you.
I don’t know a single nurse or anyone in the medical field who is struggling to make a good life for themselves. In fact, many of my entrepreneur friends are free to do their thing because they have a nurse spouse or girlfriend whose income can provide for the family if their endeavors fall apart. I don’t know where you live, but travel
Nursing pays amazing. One of my students graduated and traveled and did travel
Nursing to give herself a huge boost and head start in life. Did this for a couple of years and then has settled down with $100k+ saved up for retirement, a house down payment, etc. Again, people will make a way or they make an excuse. Your choice.

In 2009 I filled my tank for $28.
Today it's $62.
In 2009 i bought groceries for $180/month.
Today it's $420.
In 2009 my health insurance was $140/month.
Today it's $390.
My salary went from $38,000 to $64,000.
I'm making 68% more.
I'm affording40% less.
And I'm a Millennial telling you Gen Z has it worse than i did.
Do the math before you judge them.

@DrDiGiorgio @ChrisWithRobots @JeromeAdamsMD @anshulkundaje @GunillaJoha Isn’t what happened in Sweden literal evidence that it did though?

@ChrisWithRobots @JeromeAdamsMD @anshulkundaje @GunillaJoha There’s zero evidence that more paid sick days does anything to mitigate spread.

@HeathVeuleman Physician shortage and nursing shortage is a myth created by hospitals and universities to keep labor costs low and classrooms full. A few sub specialty’s are running short but that’s it.
English
Here’s some context: we have a shortage of physicians and a shortage of nurses.
Still think the exponential growth is not the administrative/managerial class?
The Kobeissi Letter@KobeissiLetter
Healthcare is carrying US job growth more than ever: The number of healthcare workers has surged +84% since 1996, far outpacing every other major sector. Growth has accelerated since the 2020 pandemic, rising +24%, to a record 18.4 million employees. Meanwhile, the number of construction workers has risen +55% since 1996, to 8.3 million, also an all-time high. This is followed by financial activities roles at +32%, and retail trade at just +10% over the same period. Manufacturing has gone in the opposite direction, declining -27%, to 12.6 million, near the lowest since January 2022. The US job market is heavily skewed toward healthcare.

@AvocadoPablo_ @skumWgmi I forgot people can’t switch jobs or fields. My bad.
English
@AvocadoPablo_ @skumWgmi Nope. The point is to whine and play the victim because boomers. If your earnings only went up 68% in 17 years when a warehouse worker and a teacher in podunk Indiana’s went up way more in the same
period, you might be the problem.
English
@Ruben22775443 @BitPaine @grok Interest payments were high in the 90's due to higher interest rates, not the size of the debt itself. Once the high interest rates came down the interest payments came down. The problem we have now is the debt itself is too large. Interest rates actually are low. We are f'd

@usausa116822 @jonbrooks Can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. Surely you know prices never go down?

@kiwi_in_oz_ @NeilFlochMD There's actually a zero percent chance this happen. Zero. 0. None.

"In 10 years fully AI-controlled robotic surgeons performing appendectomies independently (no real-time human input needed) in standard emergency/elective settings could become reality, particularly in underserved areas. This aligns with broader predictions for autonomous soft-tissue surgery."
Keep up the gaslighting.
Your days are numbered pal 👍
English
Ok. Please call a robot at 3 am when you have appendicitis. It will be nice to sleep.
Wally@soulfulsloth
@NeilFlochMD Doctors are currently like taxi drivers before Uber - self-important, entitled, terrible customer experience. It’ll be glorious to watch AI put them in their place.
English
@be_prosperous1 @NeilFlochMD You cannot just expect doctors to be available for emergencies. A lot of the money that physicians make is from routine care too. If they are only needed for "emergencies" then there won't be any because they are not going to sit around and not be paid for the other 90%
English
@NeilFlochMD You don’t “call” anyone genius. If you have appendicitis at 3am you go to the ER where there will be plenty of human doctors to fix it. Human Dr will still be needed in emergencies. That wasn’t his point.
English
@DrPlantel Our insurance gives you three boxed meals when you leave hospital. Pitiful!!!!
English
Yes, hospitals could improve the nutrition quality of their food. But zoom out for a second. Patients are there temporarily. What happens when they leave?
Do they have the money, access, time, and support to “eat healthy”?
Because that matters a hell of a lot more than a few days of hospital meals.
And let’s be real, if I’m on my deathbed and someone tries to shame me for eating cake and ice cream…
I will throw a salad at you.
English
Damn. You must not be in a good field or not very good at what you do. Even as a teacher I increased more than $26,000 in 17 years. Started at $23,900 in 1994. By year 17 I was making what you make now, and that was in 2011 in podunk Indiana. My manager in my shipping warehouse has been with us for only 7 years, and he’s already been given $34k in annual raises.
