He’s right. Even after all those price increases, gasoline is currently cheaper in the US than it was almost all over the world before the war.

For example it would have to reach $16/gallon to reach the same level of affordability as in India before the war.

Do you know what CPI is? CPI ISN’T ADJUSTED FOR WAGE GROWTH.

I never said those things are nominally cheaper

What time period are we talking about?

Because I’m selfish.

Money does equate to value provided to the society, which in my opinion equates to success.

People become billionaires because they provide billions in value to the society.

So I can’t state objective facts that are favorable for somebody, because that somebody is a bad person?

1. Almost nobody is earning the minimal wage in the US
2. Prices sure rose, but so did income, but in even faster pace

Do you spend all your money on survival?

Why aren’t you spending all your money and time on helping others then?

The money you earn would find around zilion uses in helping others.

Even independent researchers say that wages grew.

Maybe your perception has something to do with the lifestyle inflation?

People are doing that without AI, see rust based “improved” core utils or moss kernel.

Why? How? What did I even read?

Why would being successful in life be a mental disease?

I was in Switzerland for 2 last weeks. It’s stupidly cheap there, when you factor the income of the swiss people.

The median income in Switzerland is 1,5 times that of the US, almost 2 times more than Germany and 4,5 times of Poland (the country I come from).

Yes, Switzerland is 2-3 times more expensive than Poland, but I’d take this deal every day of the week.

Nominal value of currency doesn’t matter that much.

Important: I don’t mean the changes in that value. They matter a lot.

Actually, everything (at least everything including in CPI) is cheaper.

In fact, during current Trump’s term median wages grew, by all measures.

They don’t pay taxes now, because they were losing money for the last 20 years. It’s completely normal and even desirable.

Also, thanks to BBB R&D expanses, which are a huge part of Palantir’s spendings are dedicated from taxes

I mean, they’re right.

Alternatives exist.
