Inflation is not growth in the money supply, money supply is one way that inflation can occur, but the basis of inflation is the increase in nominal costs of everyday prices.
Honestly I don’t see why buying data on the open market is illegal. I think it shouldn’t be legal to sell it but it is. I’d prefer nobody have access than the NSA pretend they don’t see what anyone else can buy.
A bill set to be introduced next month would ban consuming or producing sexual content and punish offenders with prison sentences of up to 20 years and $25,000 fines.
The reporting errors were presumably a consequence of the results tapes not being programmed to a format that was compatible with state reporting requirements. Attempts to correct this issue appear to have created errors. The reporting errors did not consistently favor one party or candidate but were likely due to a lack of...

Seriously, no sincere white supremacist genuinely thought Zelenskyy’s administration was sympathetic to their cause. Neo-Nazis are Putinists through and through.
Their evidence of Nazism was Ukranians asserting a separate identity and language from Russia. It’s tantamount to calling Native Americans Nazis for protesting forced assimilation.
A new study has revealed that a specific group of Republicans, known as MAGA Republicans, are more likely than other groups to endorse political violence. The findings, published in PLOS One, indicate that this group, making up approximately 15% of the US adult population, showed distinct beliefs on race and democracy, differing...

“We do sweeps for spam/scam accounts and sometimes real accounts get caught up in them,” Elon Musk wrote on X, responding to the temporary ban of at least 8 accounts, including those of a handful of journalists.
The problem is that we’re scattering. A handful to Bluesky. A smattering to Mastodon. A pittance to Lemmy. Building a unified community on a single platform again will take years.
Don’t get me wrong it’s great the number of accounts that have moved there, but we’re not even close to where we need to be to make one platform the go-to place like Twitter was.

It’s not that Americans are stupid. Any nation can fall into the same trap if we devolve control of our infrastructure to plutocrats who look down on the public.
It’s the attitude that Americans are dumb and deserve our fate that’s shared by the elite who make it their business to fuck over the most vulnerable of us.

The story here isn’t that Trump doesn’t understand magnets, it’s that he was transparently told to say something by a donor associated with John Deere and he fucked it up because he didn’t understand it.
It’s a great reason until there’s an alternative. As long as voters look to gas prices for their votes, taking action that raises them is politically toxic.
Meanwhile leftists are literally criticizing the Biden administration for high gas prices’ impact on the working class.
You want to change it? Let’s change it. Starting with activists.
