      Nope, doing better than ever thanks to saving when times were good, making more money at work, and investing in this stock market. Most people are the same, the percentage of people saying they are doing poorly financially is the same as it was in 2019 and 2020.

    Appreciate?! How can they appreciate anything after working 40-60 hours a week and still don’t have enough because you need an average of 60k a year across America to afford rent?! I think we need to reassess the issues here. Yeah wages still are not high enough, but our free market commoditization of necessities is conflicting with some employers ability to even come close to meet living wages. Stop giving workers a hard time. They literally can’t work any harder and the nerve to say they don’t appreciate is completely detached from reality. It’s not just wages, price controls or windfall taxes or something needs to be implemented because every penny we get more, the price of services and goods goes up a dollar yet none of that “trickles back down “ into increasing wages further. I’m in my 40’s and I’m over it! My kids are having a harder time than I did at their age plus they have to clean up the mess left by my grandparents. Aggressive actions need to be taken. People don’t want to rent homes with 6 roommates just to get by. Single parents are doomed and abortion is illegal in like half the states. In ten years we will have triple the homeless if it keeps up.

    The rise in housing is because apartment owners raise rents year after year until renters cannot afford their rent and need to move but cannot find another apartment in their budget. Older Americans are needing to continue to work well into their 70s if they have only had high school educations. It’s time to cap rent on property owners who don’t reinvest in the properties, building that a well below “market value.

    The recent stock market rally has left investors questioning whether it's the end of the bear market or a sign of volatility to come, especially with traditional indicators like the inverted yield curve signaling caution. In such a climate, pivoting to the dynamic world of cryptocurrencies could be a wise move. Despite a potentially bearish stock market, the crypto market remains a hub of innovation and opportunity. Amidst this the insights of a knowledgeable guide like Rafa Manuel can be crucial. His expertise in navigating the nuances of cryptocurrency investments could be the key to understanding and making the most of these emerging financial trends.

    "Why are insurance and car rentals so expensive?" Because insurance companies are driving up the prices because of EVs. I replaced a gas power car with an EV and my monthly insurance price increased $130. And that was after shopping around. I've seen lots of reports saying that very minor damage "totals" an EV, so they are ramping prices up across the board to cover it.
    Same for home insurance. In 11 years, my home insurance has doubled twice.

    "Inflation" is down this month because a 0.4% from last April fell out of the 12-month calculation window. Next month a 0.1% from May 2023 will fall out of the calculation window, meaning that if prices go up by half as much in May as in April (0.15% - which annualized is below the 2% target), "Inflation" will be down in April and up in May even though prices went up more in April than May.
    The 12 month average is interesting to look back on but is a pretty silly metric to talk about in the context of reporting on what prices are doing right now and going forward.

But when they asked them their perception of the economy, more people think it is worse now than it was in 2020. That is what disinformation from the media has done and very few have been willing to counter it, so thanks for this dose of reality.

    It seems you're referring to the idea that a significant portion of recent inflation might be attributed to corporate greed rather than just cost adjustments related to the pandemic. This perspective suggests that companies have been raising prices beyond what is justified by increases in their costs, potentially to boost profits.
    To clarify:
    - **Pandemic-related cost adjustments**: During the pandemic, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and increased demand for certain goods led to higher costs for businesses. These increased costs were passed on to consumers, contributing to inflation.
    - **Greed-based inflation**: This suggests that some companies may have exploited the situation to raise prices more than necessary, taking advantage of the overall environment to increase their profit margins.
    The claim that 45% of inflation is greed-based implies that nearly half of the recent price increases could be due to companies' profit-maximizing behavior rather than just recovering from pandemic-induced cost pressures.
    With profits up for the rich, the gap between the rich and poor is growing. Not narrowing.

    The conditions for inflation, a lagging indicator, were set during lockdown beginning with the supply chain disruptions. Increased demand and returns for investors (price gouging) played a role as did tariffs (Trump promises more of the latter). Unlike the sluggish recovery from 2007 financial crisis, the post Covid "V" shaped recovery was much quicker. The Fed finally got the inflation it was trying to stoke since 2007 so it can end the zero interest "free money" policy similar to Japan's lost decades. Inflation crisis was handled pretty well, especially compared to the 1970's and 80's when interest rates were north of 20%. Social security received a cost of living increase, now the private sector has to play catch up.

    Your analysis sucks the big Casuga. Yes auto insurance increased once, rent increased once but in both cases the consumer has to pay those higher prices each and every month. My auto insurance increased 60% in December, and I have to pay that enormous price increase forever. My rent nearly doubled and it's impact is forever. Also a wage increase of 4.5% is one off while the increase in prices is each and every month so it doesn't take long for the accumulated impact of inflation to overwhelm that one off increase in wages. Bottom line, aggregate data does not reflect income disparity and more so, they distort the true picture.
