EJ Anthony, Trump pick for new Bureau of Labor Statisitcs chief, claimed that the US had been in recession since 2022 after mismeasuring inflation.

His “adjusted” series charted here against other volume measures that don’t rely on any inflation measure.

Lamentable

The Founders of This New Development Say You Must Be White to Live There

To say that we've regressed is an understatement.

I imagine if you believe in race-based supremacy, this might be the one place where they'll welcome you with a fresh apple pie, a bottle of moonshine, a new bible, and a slap on the back.

His administration is literally composed of men who beat and batter women.

Yup. I continue to be amazed by how people justify supporting this buffoon.

Trump just said Gaza could be The Riviera of the Middle East. He wants to create a resort area in The Holy Land? “The US will own the Gaza Strip” - WHAT???

How is anyone buying what he’s selling?

He who doesn’t respect the law follows no laws.

Yup. Because we are putting America first, right? 😖🤔😳

Did he just say the US will take over Gaza? Is that before or after we conquer Canada, we absorb Greenland, and we initiate a hostile takeover of McDonald's to secure their fries? #trumpedagain

Trump, Hosting Netanyahu, Says Palestinians Should Leave Gaza: Live Updates

Pack your bags and leave? He seriously tells 2 million people to up and evacuate? These people have lost everything - and they too have claim on the Holy Land.

The kicker is that we are experiencing natural disasters that will cost us billions to recover - and these idiots are giving Trump inaugural money to celebrate when 100,000+ people lost everything with floods and fires. No empathy or common sense!

Flying has become uncivilized. (DUH! I know.)There is no reason for people to bring on 2 bags. If everyone checked one - the overheads would be free for backpacks and coats and we wouldn’t have to crunch in seats with no legroom. On/offboarding would be faster. RANT!

Over the years, I have sat in a lot of airports and other areas where travelers are gathered. No longer do I hear people respectful discuss current events. Either peeps are using headphones - or they are glued to devices, eyes down. We don’t talk anymore! No wonder we are divided!

Same here! I made an awesome Mediterranean soup loaded with organic baby carrots from Wegmans. Cooked - should be fine, but I love the sweet ones and are quite a few while prepping. Read the news right after dinner. Ugh!

Carrot recall announced in connection to E. coli outbreak: See list of affected products More than a dozen brands are recalling bags of baby and whole organic carrots that were sold in 19 states for risk of E. coli contamination.

Did you know that you can get a UTI from contaminated food? Recap in the news today…THROW OUT THOSE CARROTS! #foodrecall www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

Just watched “Fingernails” tonight. Jessie Buckley is a hella actor - but I had to look away a few times - such a disturbing test, no? How far would you go to test your love?

This is my first post on Bluesky. I love that there is an alternative place to find people who share what's cooking in their neck of the woods or cityscape. As long as we keep talking, anything is possible, right? Keeping the faith and hoping that we find a better bath forward.
