Under Trump, Median Income Soars Over Bush/Obama Era...

[Hatin Since 87]

Kut, you're starting to argue like a woman. Man: "Honey, why are you mad at me?" Woman: "Well if you don't know, I'm not going to tell you!"

Give her long enough and she’ll find a reason. Or him, I can’t remember which we’re talking about

So quit dancing around it and just go ahead and spit out what you're trying to say. What is this mystery about what else could affect out pockets?

And what on earth are you talking about kings for? We have elections, so at some point, it's likely that a democrat will eventually be in office again. Which of course has nothing to do with the median income rising under Trump.

Nah, Trumpers seem to enjoy blissful ignorance, so I'll let them enjoy it today.... but it's still baffling.

 

[JettaKnight]

Did anyone have a source on what the median income is right now?

...or the mode income.

In other words, much like the whistleblowers, you got nothing.

Reverse psychology has never worked on me.

No reverse psychology, just stating the obvious. You’ve never been shy to state anything any other time when you’ve had info to help your point, so why not now?

Because you have none

That chart doesn't help you out at all. Ok, serious question, were you reading that chart, or just looking at numbers? How about you compare inflation to growth, and then tell me what that means.
Further, inflation isn't the only metric. I would like to say I'm baffled no one has mentioned it, but I'm not. What other thing could possibly have an effect on your pocket.

The numbers don't help me do what? You mentioned inflation, I posted the numbers. I'm not trying to prove any points or push an agenda. I'm only putting some context and facts into the discussion.

I find that more helpful than simply hinting at vague themes and waiting for others to interpret those hints, then claim the interpretation is incorrect.

I agree with Hatin'. You got nothing. Prove me wrong.

 

[Ark]

My check must be in the mail because there ain't any meteoric raises happening around here.

 

[Kutnupe14]

I agree with Hatin'. You got nothing. Prove me wrong.

I'll chalk that up to "birds of a feather..."

 

[Hatin Since 87]

Still got nothing I see

 

[Slapstick]

I'll chalk that up to "birds of a feather..."

Well then, it appears there are a lot of birds around here. Just saying.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I'll chalk that up to "birds of a feather..."

I'll chalk that up to "you got nothin'". Like I said, you're arguing like an angry woman. Or maybe we should treat you like a grade school child. "Do you have something you'd like to share with the class, Kut? You seem to be doing a lot of talking, so why don't you share it with the rest of us?"

Speaking of feathers, your plumage seems to be similar to Schiff's.

I'm clear on the groupthink.

Are you going to persist with the insults, because I haven't insulted you personally, nor anyone else. I'm just seeing what's acceptable in this interaction, because we all know, I can get it fired up. I'm asking respectfully, that you tone it down a bit.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I'm clear on the groupthink.

So are we. Like I said, your plumage seems similar to Schiff's with anonymous sources, shadowy references, but no facts.

I'm asking respectfully for you to say what you mean, and stop beating around the bush, and implying that we are less "intelligent" than you because we support Trump. That is indeed insulting. I have given you ample opportunity to clear that up. Just answer the question. What are we overlooking? If anyone is being insulting, it certainly isn't me or Hatin'. Unless you consider being compared to Schiff an insult. I can see how that could be perceived as such.

I can't find any source for the main claim of this article that median incomes rose to ~66k, anyone care about the veracity of the article this threads based on?
That’s a $5000 rise in only 30 months under Trump!"

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I find this insulting. Now show me where I have insulted you. Or are you just going to continue to give vague answers long on innuendo and short on facts?

I can speak generally on any group, if you are part of that group, tough. If I point you out directly, then you have issue to take umbrage. I have not implies that you, personally, are a woman nor a child. But if you don't think that's insulting, we can ask the mods, and if they agree, I will then start employing similar tactics.
