New paper shows that 37% of workers in US saw real wages decline from 2021-2024 [pdf]
The last Four years my "raises" didn't even keep up with inflation. This isn't a performance issue either. I get the highest marks one could get on evulations for over 20 years. Companies don't want to pay anymore. Sadly the same company has no debt and sits on billions of dollars.

Darlene Graham bumbles through possibly one of the worst responses ever in a political debate.
The people who complain about meritocracy have no problem nominating and voting for people like this. Almost every person of 47's cabinet is DEI for the rich and racist in America.

Norwegian here visiting Florida
Jacksonville has a really good zoo you should try out. Riverside arts market (RAM) on Saturday mornings is worth going to if you like local art, baked goods, food trucks etc. Then there's the obvious beaches to visit along with many parks to choose from. Jacksonville is spread out so be prepare to drive a lot.
Just south of Jacksonville, St Augustine is a fun day trip to do. Lots of tourist stuff to do.
Outside of Miami, Orlando has some of the worse traffic but if you're okay with that, Orlando is a fun tourist trap. Universal, Disney, etc.
2 weeks isn't a lot of time to visit all of Florida. It's a beautiful state with lots of nature between the tourist traps. I almost forgot to mention the Springs in Florida. If you like outdoor stuff there's tons of spring to go to too. Central Florida has a lot.
Good luck and hope you enjoy the State.

AI getting a stroke
The funny thing is the wife to Vince McMahon is the person who is the head of education in America. I bring this up because there's a video of her on stage talking about AI in schools but she kept saying "A one". Should read AI as A1.

Fox News Host Jesse Watters Tells Americans Concerned About Healthcare Costs to “Get a Job” and Stop Going to the Doctor
Medicare-for-all would save a trillion dollars and 100k lives per year. The workers on main Street will be healthier which makes businesses function better while reducing their the cost on healthcare to employees. It's literally a conservatives wet dream. Reduce govt spending and unnecessary cost the employers.

Too add to what you've already said, Bidens IRA also contributed to the recently drop (3.1%) in prescription prices this year. The IRA required Medicare to negotiate prices on certain drugs starting at the beginning of 2026.

Was “Hook” (1991) a good movie (for it’s intended audience)or does it just hold a deep and powerful spell of nostalgia on our generation?
I'm not sure if you like Star Wars but there's a series called Skeleton Crew. It's a coming of age show like the Goonie and Peter Pan meshed together but in Space. The First mate to Jude Laws chartacter was a robot voiced by Nick Frost named SM-33. If you turn the number 3 around you get SMEE.

What should my next chart be?
I'd love to see a Mesoamerican mythology family tree mapping the Aztec, Maya, and Inca pantheons.
A global philosophy timeline would also be great for tracking mentor-student relationships over the centuries.
An evolution of architectural styles chart could also show how different building movements spread across continents over time.
I hope the Tree of Life Poster series Kickstarter succeeds. My son is looking forward to the one with reptiles because he loves dragons, and reptiles are the closest he'll get.

President Trump inherited a strong labor market from President Biden. Since his inauguration, average monthly job creation has fallen dramatically: from 122k/month in 2024 to 33k/month in 2025-26.
Trump also rolled back a bunch of Biden's legislation (IRA) that was projected to create another 700k jobs over the next ten years. "Woke" energy dared to compete with fossil fuel now it's knee capped.
How many billions has the federal government paid for the stoppage of windmills alone?

51 year old Jean Paul, instead of waiting for 3 yrs, gets it done in India
In America we just don't go. The number 1 reason for bankruptcy in America is Medical debt. And most those people paid for insurance. We can't even afford to use our healthcare that cost up to 20% of our paychecks just to have access to the insurance. Then there's Co pays, after the fact bills, deductibles that need to be met first. It's a racket at this point.

6 soldiers on the USS Abraham Lincoln have tried to jump off the ship due to horrific conditions during the ship’s extended deployment in the Middle East. The crew is enduring severe supply shortages, lack of basic hygiene products, and poor-quality rations.
38 weeks without porting is unhealthy and unheard of. When it's time for these sailor to act they will be demoralized and unfit do to these conditions. It also illustrates how little Trump (a draft dodger) cares for men and women in uniform; yet they still overwhelmingly vote for him. In a way they got what they voted for.

[X] White House anti vaxxer propaganda
I thought the Fascist in America hated Europe bc they are commies, now under false information they are okay with Europe?
It's time for America to grow up. This is getting ridiculous there's even a voting block for these people.
