       @freemo recessions are not equal to inflation, are they?

       @freemo and Trump did not have 7% inflation by the end of his term. Inflation is complex and affected by myriad factors. Pretending that it is just about QE, spending, and taxes is naive and feeds right into political rhetoric.

       @freemo I'm not sure why you are citing Rwandan statistics (unless somewhere in that document they cite U.S. ones which I doubt). Here is the year over year inflation (12-months) for the U.S. https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/I guess you can try attributing the 5% in May half to Trump but I can't see how you attribute the 7% figure for 2021 to him. Regardless, my point is that there have been other factors besides policy and a particular president.  I do agree that some of our government policies and stimulus contribute in a delayed fashion to inflation, but if that is the case, no intervention is necessary because those disturbances were localized and temporary.

       @freemo @polymathrobert @dnsprincess joinmastodon lists a number of requirements, do we meet all of them? Multiple people and to manage server, daily backup, commitment to 3 month notification on shutdown. I understand that you do active moderation.

       @freemo @peterdrake @trinsec you have told me in the past that you would provide some of these causality tests that you claim to have (there are many you claim). Would still love to see those so I can make my own mind on your claims. Not the four pictures you have shown me before, hard to gauge anything from those.

       @peterdrake @freemo @trinsec according to this: https://www.weather.gov/media/safety/Analysis06-19.pdfThere have been about ~70 deaths by lighting of people ages 0-19I'm not sure of the exact number of deaths of the same age range in the same period due to school related mass shootings but it is probably close.High enough occurrences that we typically don't send kids outdoors in thunderstorms or let them stay in a pool during one.
