Without a clear definition, it is difficult to see what you are comparing: 'By our definitions, using contemporary benchmarks, 36 percent of American families composed the core middle class in 1979, while just over half (54 percent) fell short of core middle-class'.

The 1979 post 2 time oil embargo great inflation and recession was their starting point and benchmark.

That was what Trump said in a 2016 Interview about how he gamed the system and 'How Donald Trump Bankrupted His Atlantic City Casinos, but Still Earned Millions.'

That is the point of view on most discussion sites now:

'2d ago I dumped the (US) app once they decided you couldnt turn off your precise location and introduced the local tab with no opt out - its pretty clear Oracle views this as a surveillance tool rather than a social media app and old TikTok is gone for good.'

She must had been doing a lot of legitimate business for the amount paid and all these could had been accounting errors or excess licenses she was trying to get rid of.

Sure that is the MAGA way. USAID global aid cuts could lead to at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030 and MAGA think somehow spreading American AI is going to replace proven measures to stop preventable diseases.

Well known that market manipulation magnifies when there is lack of data at times such as a ruler announcing breaking news of invasion or tariffs over a long weekend. Retail accounts will often make poor trades without knowing how the general market will react. The general rule is that fewer trades will make a better trader and investor.

and the obscene amount of money US companies spent for global cloud dominance. But there is an easy solution without spending all that money - Data encryption, the last line of defense against the extraterritoriality of the Cloud Act? Data encryption is currently the most effective barrier against the side effects of the Cloud Act. This technical protection makes data accessible to American authorities but not readable, and thus protects the interests of European companies.

It is $6.25 bn and while it is generous it is only $250 per child born during that narrow period of election significance. In most cases, the parents could ill afford much contribution because of the tariff tax imposed that raised their annual purchases by $2000 which could be 10% of their disposable income.

That is what the poor or working class do, they don't own stocks that is locked up in an account. The rich can afford to own much more, therefore mostly stocks and bonds and even speculative items. It is great that the Dells are giving this away, but the effect will be minimal given the name of the account which is in itself a give away as to the motives and is a gimmick.

The DT regime backed by big US businesses is doing this because they can't give the poor and middle class a working wage and keep prices affordable, so they taxed by any other way (tariffs) and then give back a little to the poor and give the majority of the taxes back in self dealings, tax loopholes and tax breaks to the rich.

What makes you think this guy cares about too big to fail or paying back investors? ...May 3, 2024 "Whether we burn $500 million a year or $5 billion—or $50 billion a year—I don't care, I genuinely don't," he continued.

If you just read the attached PDF from the link, you will see why it was rejected, with one of their first claim of exemption from the rules: 'The Applicants have considered a number of mechanisms to try to comply with 49 CFR 392.22(b), including automated deployment of traditional warning devices. We have found that there is no practical, effective, or reliable way to do this for the foreseeable future.'

These companies specialized in automated self driving vehicles and they can't come up with an effective solution for extending the warning lights beyond the vehicle itself - which is what the regulations calls for.

That is about 10% price premium (Oct, 2025) if you look at a supplier (B&H in the US) that has both in stock at the same time - you can call it a revenue grab or value added warranty control, all depends on your point of view. But check out the prices to get a balance view
