The Economy Thread III: Not Actual Advice And You Shouldn't Lie To Investors

[Tyche]

If you count the people that actually work construction (immigrants), there's no way that -10k number is accurate.

Also, no fucking clue why it's "surprising". I guess because they expected the books to get cooked since the BLS firing. And maybe they did and it's significantly worse than even this.

This newer data then this?

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/econo...120000620.html

It’s not just low-income Americans drowning under inflation and interest rates — some higher-income folks are feeling the strain on their wallets as well.

Data from a survey conducted in 2023 by personal finance software company Quicken revealed that 32% of Americans earning at least $150,000 a year are currently living paycheck to paycheck, while 36% of folks earning $50,000 to $150,000 and 55% of households earning less than that reported the same.

Tariffs on coffee makes zero sense you literally cannot grow coffee beans anywhere in this country.

It's from data released in the last month, so yes it's newer than an article from over a year and a half ago.

Hawaii. Kona Coffee. But we'd never fulfill a fraction of a fraction of total demand.

It's crazy that it's basically the same price to get fancy micro lots. 3/4 of a pound for $18 for extremely high quality stuff here.

Honestly I'm just grateful one of my best friends is in charge of the roastery for a local place and just gets me a bunch of stuff for free, but their bread and butter staple coffee was a Brazilian blend, so yeah...that sucks for them now.

think i paid 20 bucks for a 10oz bag a couple days ago here in LA. not my favorite thing to do. new brand to me also, so not even sure how good it is really lol

[Daydreamer]

I've gotten really into coffee over the past few years and I'll just say my go to are things from Kenya or Ethiopia. If you are looking at a brand that is new to you and happen to see one of those, odds are it's at least decent.
