So saying that a story is not being covered in the national media when it clearly is- a okay by you? You don't see how that is creating racist divisions from a different angle?
-
Is this the fabled "It's not widespread" phase?
-
If true, that seems like a fun story.
-
Is the girl not the one who was the unfortunate person in all this?

Tell yourself what you require as well sport

But think of the "hipcracy"
-
Good. I am satisfied that you now understand that you made up an argument and posted an article refuting something I never argued in the first place. Good times.
-
This will help you the next time you want to try and enter an argument here and use something you have to read to prove a point: https://www.scholastic.com/parents/books-and-reading/reading-resources/developing-reading-skills/improve-reading-comprehension.html I also appreciate that you don't see the irony in using a video that is clearly coming from someone with a bias who is filtering the study through that bias. How long do you want to go back and forth with the condescending sniping at one another? Just want to know how much of my day to plan to lose.

He didn't read the study. He is going off the summary of the YouTube guy with 350K subscribers and a skeleton in the background as he podcasts from a dungeon.
-
I already accepted your resignation to my side of the argument...Please later come back to the thread again to repeat what I said and tell me I was right. Maybe you can find another skeleton video.
-
And as I stated repeatedly- the article agrees with me and the study shows that there were markups in certain premium areas which means that even if it didn't actively push it up, it certainly wasn't pushing it down either. So again- I am correct in saying there is some aspect of it here but it trails many other, deeper contributing factors. Glad you came around.

Dude- please find where I said that corporate greed was the sole cause of inflation- which is what the video (that you watched) talked about the study (that you absolutely did not read) talked about. You literally copied a post I made and highlighted the last two words to prove a point that I didn't argue and now have spent the better part of a day arguing against that. I'm not sure why you feel the need to make up things to argue against. I'll wait.
-
Is this now where I can make up something you said and then argue against it- while proving you right time and again- like you've done to me for a day now?
-
Lower than the chances that you are wearing a stained T-shirt with a video game character on it at this very moment

I mean if you don't see the "Start New Topic" button then yes you are part of the problem. That's not "hipcracy" or "race battery"...just facts. Also, decrying the national media for ignoring a story that they aren't ignoring furthers the problems too.
-
Social media culture is terrible and while it really took hold in the mid to late 2000s that is at best tangentially correlated to Obama. But it isn't one leading to the other. It's annoying how people from all walks of political life take snippets of things and decide to tell the whole narrative around it without digging facts. But it gets "clicks" and "likes" and people are far more concerned about their online persona than they are providing solid discourse.
-
On the main page there towards the top right hand corner is a button that reads "Start New Topic". You click that and then you can title a thread and put whatever stories you want in there. I recognize that those 2-3 steps might be super difficult but really it gives a story that HT thinks deserves full attention the full attention it deserves. HTH there guys. Also, that story that got no national media attention has been written about or mentioned on: USA Today ( one of the most circulated papers in the country) Yahoo New York Post just to name a few.....But you're right...only "some local coverage"
-
Stories online seem to indicate the dad didn't like the way the district handled bullying stuff with his daughter. So he isn't a racist a-hole, just a regular old a-hole. Two other things stand out: 1.) The high school, and district, itself has been in the news before for things that were racist in nature with kids doing the "Seig Heil" hand gesture stuff and hate filled stuff in videos online mocking teachers and fellow students with anti-LGBTQ slurs...so some people saw one thing and another and decided they were connected- which leads to... 2.) This is where Twitter/social media outrage control gets out of control. People saw a white dad and black superintendent and immediately jumped to the conclusion because it fits the imagery. It would take a few minutes or hours to see the full picture but people want to be first.

How many times a day do you jackoff posting whataboutisms into threads? Do you own stock in like Pedialyte or Gatorade with the amount of electrolytes you need to replace on an hourly basis?
-
Also good to remind oneself that pages ago in this thread I pointed out how there were studies and polls being done on the idea that people felt like they were good financially but the economy was bad overall which showed that perception and reality were not in line with one another. RLLD's response was "DUH PEOPLE SHOULD VOTE DEY FEELZ!" But now it benefits him so he says "BUT DA FAX!!"
-
Again a lot of words to argue against a point I never made....have fun being obtuse at someone else. Also, go ##### yourself with the political team rooting stuff. It just undercuts the point you are trying to make and makes you look like a flaming idiot.
-
I'll caveat by saying- I'd like to see more of the story before I know it is exactly what the Twitter warrior says. However- if it is truly because of what the person says- then I feel bad for that young lady. She worked hard to get that degree and then her dad pulls a stunt like that and she looks absolutely embarrassed to be a part of any of it. Dude should've been drug out back and dealt with.
-
You didn't. Again- I said there is some blame to corporate greed- but I clearly put it after 4-5 different factors. You decided I was saying it was solely that. And then linked to a video talking about a fed reserve piece that studied this. The article on CNN that they use is titled this: "Think corporate greed is the leading cause of inflation? Think again". I never said it was the leading cause so I'm good there. The study also shows: " The Fed researchers did find that some companies exercised pricing power by raising prices above their production costs – a gap known as markups. For instance, markups spiked for gasoline, cars and other goods in 2021. Likewise, there were increased markups for repair, general merchandise, laundry, personal care and other services, according to the Fed." Which again matches up with what I said. Also, the study never mentions corporate greed, shrinkflation, or Biden in any way. So yet again- I made a comment, the study supports what I said. I'm glad you keep wanting to prove me right. Now go ahead and say something stupid and obtuse ignoring the overall point.

Restaurant chain shuts down nearly 50 locations in California following minimum wage hike

They need to work harder...I mean I'll never be a physicist. You could be if you worked harder. Well no...not me. My work harder argument only applies to poor people. -
I'm not wrong in that I didn't solely attribute it to corporate greed...you didn't read the actual study obviously because you'd see they do acknowledge markups in general areas even if it is not the sole marker for inflation- which is what the article is arguing. . Get back to me when you do
