It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

rate of inflation

Weasel question. If the inflation rate was 15% last year and then “only” 13%, then technically the rate of inflation has gone down up obviously you still have the issue of higher prices than last year.

rate of inflation

As @sovietknuckles@hexbear.net said a few days ago:

When your data doesn't confirm the point you want to make, just add more derivatives

"According to our expert analysis, wage growth actually outpaced inflation from 2:36:03 AM to 2:36:07 AM on the 14/11/2023, therefore you should all quit complaining about inflation, it's actually fine, don't worry about it."

cannot wait for bourgeois economists to discuss the jerk, snap, crackle, and pop of inflation

Yeah I’m not gonna be happy until I see negative inflation. Deflation.

As somebody with debt and no sabings, inflation is ok by me IF my wages go up by the same amount, it actually benefits me by decreasing the amount of debt I owe.
