We're talking about inflation, and the CPI. The CPI is a "basket of goods", not a single product.
I guess the concept has to be spelled out for you:
A single product is not considered the defining factor of the cost of living going up or down. The picture is a lot bigger than that.
Go read up on the CPI so you can understand the verbiage.
Inflation is up higher than our income. Tell me how that helps people's personal finances. That's why you can't base the cost of items strictly off inflation. I know you're too old to learn new things, but you really need to try.
DEI is about far more than skin color. Assuming a person is incapable simply due to t he color of their skin is racist. By default.
Does that concept confuse you?
But since you fully believe Kirk is right, can you share an example of a pilot that was hired due to skin color, and was not capable of flying a plane?
Maybe an ATC?
Maybe a truck driver?
How about YOU find the job, and share an example that shows Kirk didn't mean what he said, or was right about his fears?
Why are you trying to flip the conversation? I know you're old and senile, but please remember what you write. You were talking about a black man, which relates to skin color. I can't believe I had to spell THAT out to you.
Crap, man!!! I have to spell this out for you, also?
The entire DEI hiring was all about hiring due to hiring someone who is not a white straight male. Do you not understand that? Also please show me where I, or Kirk, said anything about someone actually being a DEI hire. It is a fact that some airlines were moving to DEI hires instead of hiring people on their skills. Here's a list of places that do it. Two of them are Delta Airlines and Southwest Airlines.
<p>While some large corporations are ending DEI programs due to conservative backlash, these companies are staying strong.</p>

Go in and Google the CPI and what it has done since Trump took office.
If you want to argue that they are getting the stats wrong, then prove it.
Go back and get the prices of the products in the CPI from February. Compare them to now. Show us where the BLS has fudged the numbers.
I'm going to ask you something that might blow your mind. What are the dates used on the CPI report? Do I have to spell this out to you also? I'll give you a hint. Trump too office in mid January. Your report starts in August 1, 2024. Prices sky rocketed under Biden's last few months in office. Ponder that for a second.
Ahhh, ANOTHER yahoo who simply denies court cases and decisions that interfere with his Trump Sycophant Syndrome.
Try SCOTUS cases 24A884, 24A931, 25A169, district court case 1:25-cv-00872, 1:25-cv-00059
Since you are paying attention, and have excellent command of the verbiage, you should have no problem reading the case documentation.
Dude, I just want to laugh in your face so hard right now. These are all cases that were brought up, but have not been ruled as him breaking the law. Again, where was all this hatred when Obama did it. By the way, I will apologize about the amount of people Obama deported. He actually deported of 5,280,000. That's the highest of any president.
Grab a tissue because you might cry about this one: Obama deported over 70 US citizens and apprehended over 2,840 US citizens thinking they were illegals. Simple Google "How Many US Citizens Did Obama Deport" and you will see the facts for yourself. There are lot of articles about it. So, all those laws you said Trump broke, Obama did the same thing.
President Obama faced criticism over his administration's handling of immigration enforcement from both the left and the right, labeled "deporter in chief" even as he was also accused of lax enforcement. A closer examination of his administration's record paints a more nuanced picture. This...

The U.S Department of Homeland Security defines a removal as a former court order expelling a person out of the United States.

he "put up more walls"? Is that like "the number" you gave me as an answer for all my questions about CA water delivery?
A grand total of 47 mile of new wall was built. You think that affects anything?
Explain your stats. How did they know how many illegals got in, if they didn't catch them?
If Trump is doing so well, why have deportation numbers dropped? And don't even TRY that bullshit that with trump in office, people are afraid to try coming across illegally.
That's the argument of a child, or a moron who believes such nonsense.
Again, with your inability to hold information. You asked if Trump did anything physical to close off the border. I gave you some factual evidence that he did. Why are you still crying about it? If you don't like to be proven wrong, then don't post stupid questions. You want to know the border crossing numbers? Google it, and show me proof that I'm wrong. I already Googled it after I heard the news announce it. By the way, the news outlet was CNN who said crossing are substantially down with Biden having more crossing in one month than Trump did in the last 6 months.
Are foreigners afraid to cross the border because of Trump? LOL... you living under a rock. Are you actually afraid to research it yourself? You should really research something before you make stupid remarks. May interviews, foreigners stated they are afraid to cross with Trump in office. In fact, when you Google "Are Mexicans afraid to cross the border with Trump in office," it says that is the major factor on why they don't cross.
HAHAHA. yeah, "closed the gate". Like there was a road that the immigrants would just walk through, and now the gate is closed, and they just don't know what to do.
Holy crap, you think like a child.
Or maybe you are as gullible as a child to believe such nonsense.
Actually, some just walked across the border at the check points, so the answer is "Yes." There was a road they used to walk through." If you paid attention, you would see all the news footage of them walking through gates that the dems personally went over and opened for them. And here's the proof.
1. if you want to call someone ignorant, at least use the correct words. It's "you're", not "your".
2. You claim you provided "the number" that answers all of my questions.
There IS no "the number" that answers them. So, you are obv. full of shit.
Terrible attempt at covering for yourself by claiming I didn't "understand" "the number". Like ThxOne, you're night bright enough to lie convincingly, and certainly not enough to get away with it.
Show me I'm wrong. You really need to start writing things down. You brain is not braining. You either need to go back and recheck that conversation or give it up. You don't even know what you're arguing about, or you're just trying to avoid admitting you're wrong and all your questions mean nothing about why the fire raged on. Then again, you are from across the country, so I guess you would know better than the people that actually live in this state.
By the way, you should never troll people about grammar. Your last post had poor grammar and spelling in it.
1. "no body"? Work on your verbiage skills.
2. Funny that you say the same things about my "wife and kids" leaving me, that ThxOne says. Are you the same person, Michael? Or do you just read shit and take it as fact because you saw words?
Is that why you parrot everything Trump says? No ability to discern?
Again, you have no right to correct someone's spelling and grammar. You are a huge offender of it.
Yes, you caught us. ThxOne, and I, are the same person. Or I know the type of person you are. You always have to be right, you will never admit you are wrong, and you start insulting people the minute you are called out as being incorrect. You mentioned you were once married and had kids, so it wasn't very hard to come to the conclusion they left and cut ties with you.
I'll tell you for the 1,000th time that two wires touching each other are not "bridged".
And then 10 pages down the road in the thread, you'll start claiming you DID show me, but then refuse to provide proof that you "showed" me. Like you are doing with the CA water data.

Do I need to show more or are you ready to apologize? There are lot more if I need to continue to spell out that you're wrong.
Just like your alter-ego ThxOne, you are full of crap, and obviously can't do anything more than bullshit your way through life.
No, you stated that wrong. "I respond to your crap instead of ignoring your bullshit." I provided facts, bro. Grab a tissue, cry about it, think of something else stupid to respond with, then move on.
Have a good night, trollster!
I'm out!
