The guy is wrong. Bls reported that Health Insrance premiums went up last month by 1.1%. He’s mistaking the year over year change for the monthly change.

Anyone who wants to begin to understand how and why the bls calculates health insurance the way they do can start here. It’s impossibly complicated but I’m fairly sure it’s not a conspiracy. I’m just starting to understand it but it’s an effort to separate what the insurance

@HHSBluebird18 MM Fwiw, my general idea is that the statisticians and economists inside the us agencies are trying to do the right thing. Generally, they’re at the forefront of issues in measuring a complex and evolving $21 trillion economy that doesn’t behave any longer the way the statistics

Fed funds futures shows a 56% probability of a rate cut in May. I don't think that's unreasonable if you think there's a better than even chance that the next four inflation reports before the May meeting will show significant improvement, enough for the fed to lop a quarter

They killed him, because even in jail he threatened a regime that thrives on lies and secrets theguardian.com/world/2024/feb…

Let’s make no mistake, Putin assassinated Navalny. He did so because Navalny was brave enough to stand up to Putin. He did so because Navalny offered the Russian people and alternative to kleptocracy and repression. This is a tragic day for Navalny’s family but also for Russia

Putin tried and failed to murder Navalny quickly and secretly with poison, and now he has murdered him slowly and publicly in prison. He was killed for exposing Putin and his mafia as the crooks and thieves they are. My thoughts are with the brave man's wife and children.

Putin is a war criminal and only understands strength. Russia’s unprovoked and brutal invasion of Ukraine has killed or wounded hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian men, women and children. Russia’s brutality must be met with American strength🇺🇸🇺🇦…

Mr Speaker Mike Johnson , Putin killed Navalny today. Navalny was my friend. He was a Christian, just like you & me. He believed in freedom, as I know you do. So please stop rewarding his killer. Give Ukrainians the weapons they need to reduce Putins slaughter of their people.

Russia: Putin's gestapo is especially targeting journalists. RusNews journalist Yulia Petrova arrested as she was reporting in Moscow on the repressions against people mourning Alexei Navalny after he was murdered in prison by Putin.

Aleksey Navalny's courage will never be forgotten. This tragedy – further proof of Putin's brutality – reminds us of the stakes of this moment. Failure to support Ukraine against his vicious onslaught will never be forgotten.

Another 82-y-old Russian woman telling Putin “to f*ck off” She says that Putin has isolated Russia from the civilized world for 20 years & that the country is suffering from it She says that something is wrong with young Russians. They are too afraid to demand any changes
