A Martin @chipalope.bsky.social · 9hI'll be interested to see if prices are lowered before arrival. The oil companies are likely to squeeze whatever profit they can out of their opportunity. If prices do go down, it takes time before consumers will see a price adjustment. 000
A Martin @chipalope.bsky.social · 9hHuh? Immediately? Beside the fact that he's trying to fix his fu*kup with another fu*kup, it's coming all the way from Russia, not Canada! It's going to take a long time to get here. By the time it hits the US market, it'll be after the midterms. He just can't fix a problem. 100

A Martin @chipalope.bsky.social · 15hSo price inflation lowers the value of the dollar. We don't want that. But apparently we, as a country, have to satisfy Trump's need to retaliate against countries that bruise his ego with tariffs. So the Fed raised interest rates to control prices. That means fewer customers at the strip club. 000
A Martin @chipalope.bsky.social · 15h"Recession indicator." LOL It's Economics 101! Blame Trump, Maynard Keynes & Kevin Warsh. Higher interest rates are supposed to suppress employment & inflation. Luckily, those guys have government SSI distributions. They found the gov distribution to WWI vets in 1936 helped the Depression economy. 110

A Martin @chipalope.bsky.social · 18hI see a lot of posts, mostly on other social media, about the CA exodus. Apparently, NC is having a large inflow of people moving from other states. I check out Zillow in NC once in a while because I have a friend who lives there. This is why people move out of CA! A condo in CA = a house in NC. 000
A Martin @chipalope.bsky.social · 19hTransparent timing for the punishment of anyone who testifies against Trump. I guess he's sending the message before his Democrat impeachment and investigations. Aren't there frivolous harassment lawsuit laws? And, again, does he even have mental capacity to make a lawsuit? He just threatened CA! 033
A Martin @chipalope.bsky.social · 20hI promise you every young woman has a friend with childcare and work issues, and they're wondering about the decision to have a family. Factor in the guys who are unreliable and may make them single parents, it's all too much. 100
A Martin @chipalope.bsky.social · 20hAnd for those who are wondering about birthrates, the daycare question becomes can I afford to have another baby? Additional kids in daycare cost more, so if the job income doesn't cover it, the decision is to work or to have a bigger family. How do you support a bigger family if you don't work? 100
A Martin @chipalope.bsky.social · 20hFor mothers, especially single mothers, daycare is part of your employment decision. The question isn't how much I'm making? But how much is this job paying me after daycare costs? Is it worth getting a job (being in the workforce)? 100
A Martin @chipalope.bsky.social · 20hI worked in a hospital for awhile, but had to switch to a lower paying medical job with daycare hours. The rural grade school onsite daycare was heavily subsidized, so it only cost $30 a month twenty years ago. When we moved back to the Bay Area it was $500. I don't know how low income afforded it. 100
A Martin @chipalope.bsky.social · 20hWhen my daughter was young, we lived in rural California and in the Bay Area. She went to grade schools in both locations, and they both had after school daycare until 6pm. That was great until summer when school was out, then I used the local summer camp daycare which cost as much as my paycheck. 110

A Martin @chipalope.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Well said. She's right. Elon was psychologically abused by his father during his formative years. When people are young adults, they have enough friends to compare their upbringing to others. Did he block out his trauma? His life is not a good reference for making generalizations about empathy. 000
