Key Inflation Metric Was 2.8% In February—Above Target As Tariffs Loom​


Annual inflation was 2.8% last month, according to the core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index, the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation as it excludes price changes in the more volatile food and energy categories and it’s more comprehensive than its rival consumer price index (CPI).


Economists expected core PCE inflation of 2.7%, according to median forecasts tracked by FactSet, while Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said last week the U.S. central bank anticipated a 2.8% year-over-year increase.

Core PCE inflation is still far above central bankers’ target of 2%, a threshold it has not met since February 2021.

Overall PCE inflation was 2.5% in February, matching the Fed’s and consensus economists’ matching projections of 2.5%.

The PCE index increased 0.3% from January to February and the core measure rose by 0.4%, adjusting for seasonality, compared to economist forecasts of a 0.3% month-over-month increase.

How could Biden let this happen?
 
We need to have two minimum wages. A burger flipper & toilet mopper at McDonalds doesn't need to make money to support a family of four - But the shift manager should.
I disagree, I think every athelete, actor, musician, and politician should get minimum wage and the jobs like scrubbing bathrooms should make big money. It's funny to shit on the janitors until there are no janitors anymore because they deserve more money from their work and the bathrooms are regular biohazards that no one wants to clean. Your precious shift managers sure as hell won't do it most of the time (the ones that do are great though).

I think most of the backwards thinking in America would fix itself if we actually paid people what they deserve instead of what we do today which is the opposite. Dirty jobs that are essential for society to function deserve the money that the childish jobs like acting and playing sports get. You want to play sports for a living? You shouldn't have ever left high school then.

The counter-argument when it comes to athletes is that the teams and leagues bring in billions of dollars, and the career of an athlete is short and precarious, so they should get their cut of what the risks they take bring in for the owners.

Just to play Devil's Advocate.
 
you consider yourself to be an Israeli-American who is living in America.
I have American and Israeli citizenship. The name for that is Israeli-American. I am living in America.

American is not your primary identity, and America is not where you view as your country, a homeland you owe loyalty and allegience to above all else
Who are you to dictate to me what my primary identity is or what I view as my country? America is my country as much as it is yours.

If you truely consider yourself American, why wouldn't you instead say "I am an American who is Jewish and America,
Because I am an Israeli citizen as well. This would apply to me even if I was not Jewish.

America, not Isreal, is the promised land
I'm not mormon

my people are not the Jews in Israel, but the people of America.
Do you have a problem when a wignat talks about how black people are inferior or how there should be a white ethnostate?

But if not, you show an unwillingness to cast aside allegence and membership of the Nation of Isreal to become part of the Nation of America.
Or I can care about two countries. Dual citizenship is a thing. It's not a marriage, a person can belong to multiple countries and care about them equally.
 
I'm not exaggerating to say I struggle to comprehend this. It's like a society having developed nuclear power without having discovered the wheel. Or a modern citizen in a developed nation just stop in the street to do a rain dance because they forgot to water their lawn that morning. The juxtaposition of American not having mastered these things against its wealth and institutions is just hard to get my head around. Like, are you a Third World country or a First World? When will you make up your minds?

We actually do have semi-automated income tax filing, but the deal is that private companies started providing it not long after the internet became commercialized, so there's no need for a federal system when TaxAct and TurboTax work fine, and everybody knows that a system built and run by Washington would be dog shit.

The deal with voting is something Europeans continue to fail to grasp over and over and over again, and that thing is niggers. They're 13%-15% of the country. I suppose your inability to understand niggers is why there was so little opposition to importing them (both regular and sand) en masse, but now you are discovering the hard way what America has known since Reconstruction. When your country has a large portion of niggers in it, a significant amount of your politics revolves around keeping the nigger vote.

The way this connects to the voting system is that niggers are stupid, lazy, and criminal. Their inability to show up on time or do anything reliably is legendary. As you might imagine, this means that they don't relaly vote reliably. Consequently, the way the Democrats get the nigger vote is through election fraud. Nigger districts frequently show close to 100% turnout. Most areas have 50%-65% turnout, but no, not nigger areas, they're always 90%-100%. Somehow, the race that is singularly unable to show up for a McDonald's shift on time has the highest Election Day hit rate in the country.

Now, figure that niggers are around 10% of registered voters, vote 95% Democrat, and the Democrats typically win elections by 1%-3%, and now you see that the political fortunes of an entire party would collapse if we had secure elections in this country. Consequently, we can't have secure elections. Since you typically need 2/3 to get anything out of the Senate, Democrat Senators will block any meaningful election security measure. Democrat judges will also claim such measures are implicitly racist because they affect blacks more than whites (which is true) and deem them unconstitutional under the 14A.

On top of that, if you upset niggers too much, you lose the white vote. That copypasta about America worshiping niggers isn't that far off. It's not just a libtard thing, lots of conservatives think MLK Jr was a modern saint, and your status of a good person depends on how kind and generous you are to niggers. So back when I think the Bush administration started doing some serious moves against election fraud, they found such shocking levels of it in Baltimore and Philadelphia (nigger cities) that they realized doing anything would result in the bad optics of hauling lots and lots of prominent nigger politicians to jail, which would in turn hurt them with white Republican voters.

This is just one of many, many things in American government that bewilders Europeans and comes down to, "because we have lots of niggers, and you don't." If you import enough of the savage races to your country, eventually, various institutions and even regions of the country will become awfully Third World-y, while the parts the white people run for themselves will be First World.

Don't tell me they're complaining about 2.8% annual.. If that's the case after what we had for 3 years or more at 3-5x that then nothing will make them happy. And nothing will of course. Under 3% is always considered good, in 'normal' times.

Divided loyalty rarely makes good patriots.
 
It shouldn't be and you are a good example why.
American wignats that cry about the need for a white ethnostate and who continually degrade their fellow Americans are considered acceptable but someone like me is not? What's the ideological difference?

Divided loyalty rarely makes good patriots.

Meanwhile the Israeli Americans are the ones voting for Trump and making America great again while the native leftist Jews cuck to brownoids. Do you prefer self hating kapos that want to throw our country into the trash?
 
I will piss and cry and moan if you question MY ethnostate but if white people even get an inkling about having one I will scream bloody murder.
Thank you for being honest.

Imagine coming to the US politics thread and making it all about your third world shit hole and how no one can question it.

I think we should be legally executing anyone that fucks up a public space so bad that it becomes a biohazard. Fix the problem at it's root.
 
Or I can care about two countries. Dual citizenship is a thing. It's not a marriage, a person can belong to multiple countries and care about them equequally.
No they can't. Niggers that have families dating back 200 years in America despise the U.S and deeply yearn for Africa even though they have no idea whatsoever what African country their ancestors came from.

During the 70s and 80s there were multiple examples of Soviet spies who were Americans born to two American parents. They became spies because their Russian heritage meant more to them than their birthright.

Blood matters, race matters.

You’re arguing something that happened 20 years ago, and confuse Neocons, who are leftists, with average conservatives. The average conservative at this point doesn’t give a shit if some corrupt democrat black politician goes to jail at this point especially post-fentanyl Floyd riots.
 
Thank you for being honest.
You completely missed the point. I personally don't give a fuck if white people have an ethnostate. My point is that you accept Americans who want to actively break off as true Americans but you refuse to accept dual citizens. Dual citizens chose to come to America and contribute, wignats want to break off from America and degrade the whole. Not only that, they don't even consider 13 percent of Americans as human.

Like with Massie idolization, you idealize the idea of America becoming weaker and less powerful because it's good when it fits your personal agenda. When I come in and want America to be stronger, it offends you and you accuse me of wanting to harm America in favor of a foreign nation despite the fact that if America was run according to your ideals, it would be a backwater.

The last thing we need is an avenue for shit heads to come in and exploit us. Dual citizenship should not exist especially today.
We have foreigners and dual citizens buying up our land and housing squeezing Americans out of the market, which they sometimes will not even use like the Chinese in California. It's also routinely used as a method of justifying existence of foreign agitators, terrorists, and operatives too.
This is a thoroughly exploited system and the only logical course of action is to cease having the system. There shouldn't be any hyphenated
Americans.
 
These little summer jobs and flipping burgers are fine, but it's offloading all the menial grueling slave labor that Mexicans were paid nothing for off to the American youth and reinforced the idea that some jobs just have to be slave labor. The idea that it's okay to have jobs with shit hours, shit pay, no benefits is retarded. I'm not saying teenagers need perfect jobs, but it's creating that expectation that work needs to be grueling and miserable and dehumanizing so some boomer retard can afford a second condo to rent out and that's just how the system has to work. It goes back to the idea that if the system can't guarantee people decent jobs that they can afford to live on, own a home, support a family, what's the point in supporting the system?

It just doesn't sit right with me, there should be a push for workers to be paid what they're owed and worth instead of the continuing exploitation that the US loves because god forbid we talk about class.

I'm thinking those polls might be right that zoomers support Blumpf more than boomers.

I also hate how American work is grueling and miserable from the getgo. We are Americans, let some other slave in a shithole do the work. The citizen should be getting easier jobs, not harder ones as we advance our technology.

The Signal crap blew over in 2 days. I'll never understand why Anthony Weiner or Al Franken didn't stick around.
The media is like a cat chasing a laser.

The American worker's patriot duty is to do the least amount of work in the most amount of time in response.

The eternal boomer is a weirdo, like how in California, the high speed train project was allowed to go on for 16 years with no push back until Trump's DOT pick shut it down.

All those Tesla protests are mostly boomers. The same with Bernie's oligarchy meme rallies.

Dual citizens in any nation should be outright barred from positions of power in our political system. This should apply to all nations.
