I watched that video, the one where the 14 kids are chained up in their home. It amazed me how brave the kid was who escaped and got to the police. It must have been terrifying for her. The parents were fricking c*nts, that's for sure.

Starting in March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) provided Economic Impact Payments of up to $1,200 per adult for eligible individuals and $500 per qualifying child under age 17. The payments were reduced for individuals with adjusted gross income (AGI) greater than $75,000 ($150,000 for married couples filing a joint return). For a family of four, these Economic Impact Payments provided up to $3,400 of direct financial relief.

They are saying Americans have less money in their bank accounts than the time the government gave everyone a bunch of gibs.

but the article clearly states that they're comparing w/ 2019, which was before any COVID relief occurred.

The graph doesn't though, the rest of article gives no actual numbers. They just are saying there are signs that there might be more credit card and auto loan delinquencies which makes sense with increased interest rates.

Poor people are earning more than ever, which is why people are complaining so much now about shit like McDonald's prices. When you have to pay every McWagie :marseymcwagie: $15/hr + benefits shit is going to cost more.

But that chart is income not savings?

anyways poor people are poor because they suck at handling money so poor people earning more money isn't actually going to result in better financial outcomes for them

Because of inflation right?. Because the GDP per capita needs to be higher than the inflation. Say GDP grew 5% but inflation is up by 10%. Still 5% loss in buying power.

Immensely. However like all protectionist policies it just there for rent seeking purposes.

Just look at the Jones Act. It's legislation that is fricking over the US big time and congress even suspends it now and then instead of just removing it.

The US has a simple rule.

They want the economy to grow at 2% and retain control.

Only loosen control if gdp growth get stuck below 2%

GDP counts paying for debt for some god awful reason lol

So if someone runs up their credit card and is now paying $500 monthly in the interest alone, that counts towards GDP

Interest rates, if they didn't cool spending and existed in a bubble, actually increase GDP themselves because the cost to service debt increased. All those higher interest mortgages make GDP look great, while obfuscating the fact that more people are debt poor than they were at the lower GDP previously

So your country and it's rich is richer and your poor people are poorer.

100%

Better to be on the correct side of the debt equation by owning short term money market funds or buying bonds now (people who bought them 2 years ago are fricked). Going to be a looooong decade for people and companies that relied on financing with variable rate debt or were just getting by before 2020

Someone page Andrew Gelman please. What they mean is that the 99th percentile American will be worse-off, but that is a very, very different claim than saying that "99% of Americans will be worse off". If you can't understand the difference, you shouldn't be writing finance articles. (Hint: One statistic looks at a fixed population, the other does not.)
