Doail @doail.bsky.social · 29/09/2026None of those numbers are correct. Median liquid income in the US is $8000, average credit card balance is $7000, but only 40-45% of people have any credit card debt at all. 001

Doail @doail.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Being one of the 535 people that create legislation for the US is an incredibly important job, and if we want qualified people to take those jobs they need to be appropriately compensated or you just get independently wealthy people in those roles. 140
Doail @doail.bsky.social · 18/09/2026No, the median income went up, and for a number of those years the wages of the people in the lowest 25% went up by the highest percentage. 200
Doail @doail.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Additionally, there are ways of validating some of the data outside of government control. 100
Doail @doail.bsky.social · 17/09/2026You should be, he is directly responsible for prices going up right now. That doesn't explain why people were so upset about relatively normal inflation over the past 3ish years before he kicked out the Iran situation. 000
Doail @doail.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Other than the spike in 2022 wage growth has outpaced inflation since ~2012. Now, with price rises due to the Iran situation that is/will soon no longer be the case. But that doesn't explain people's sentiment about it being so much worse than reality over the past years. bsky.app/profile/whst... 010
Reposted by DoailWill Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Here it is with annualized wage changes since 1997 (if you can find this data back to 1978, I'll extend it the full way). It looks messy but I don't think it really solves the mystery. Wage growth was normal the last few years and well above inflation for most of it. 8342
Doail @doail.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Sure but incomes have increased faster than inflation since 2020 so people's buying power is up even if prices are also up. (this was true through the beginning of the recent Iran related prices increases and might no longer be true) 000
Doail @doail.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The bottom quartiles had the highest income increases over that period. 101
Doail @doail.bsky.social · 17/09/2026People's wages have increased faster than inflation over the last 5-6 years. 200
Doail @doail.bsky.social · 17/09/2026While that is a good point, a record low percentage of people are making the Federal minimum wage now. It was ~13% of people in the 70s and only about 1% now. 420
Doail @doail.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Reminds me of some of the push back about yelling at Robert Reich when he was being a NIMBY, because he does good work on other topics. 081

Doail @doail.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Yes, I think so personally, but I also know I would take home less money under that system even accounting for premiums and deductibles and I am good with that. A lot of people would not be cool with having less money in their pocket. 1160
Doail @doail.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Sure but people don't seem to realize you can't tax the 1% your way into even M4A let alone a robust safety net. At the very least you'll be taxing the top 50% more. 1190
Doail @doail.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Wow 60 kph is way higher than I would have expected for those type of roads. I would have thought it would have been something like 40kph already. 020
Doail @doail.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Stuff like that is one of the many reasons I think "Medicare for all that want it" is better than a pure M4A type system. There are a number of countries with public/private universal healthcare instead of single payer and I think we should push for that here over single payer. 000
