"The founding maintainers were perfect in every way and their vision doesn't need adjustment!"

"Their vision included the need for adjustment? Nah, that's just propaganda from trolls."

Every single poster I've seen responding to articles on Lemmy and kbin from this site have been shitty, angry little pricks with regressive takes on everything. We need to block these trolls before they ruin engagement from well-reasoned humans.

I appreciate the well formatted commit message. A shame that some of the maintainers aren't interested in accepting fixes.

Adding to this with a post I found on wallstreetbets.

Not exactly a reputable source, but the OP does go through several key indicators and shows their math (with screenshots of a calculator, lol)

Inflation Data has Always Been a Lie

Maybe I'm becoming too cynical, but the raises these unions have been settling on don't really cover inflation over the periods where they received no increase.
These articles just feel like the media wings of these megacorps are trying to stroke our egos. "Yes, so much bargaining power!"

I can't find the article I'm thinking of where someone used a bunch of privately sourced data to peg the average annual inflation at 7%, but this article shows how economists don't even agree on what metrics to measure for calculating inflation.

Why Is the Consumer Price Index Controversial?

The Consumer Price Index is a popular measure of inflation in the United States whose calculation generates controversy among economists.

It's like everyone forgot he was busy causing constitutional chaos to avoid justice.
If he wanted to live, he should've bought a new heart before flying!

If I had been in his position, given the results of the survey, I wouldn't have changed the system, either.

It was a dead split among the possible choices, and any selection would've been attacked for it's strategic political consequences, so he did the only fair thing which was nothing.

Also, "counting promises as equal" is value projection. The severity or weight of each promise is subjective to each of us (single-issue voters are still a thing after all), so an unbiased, matter-of-fact counting is not a way of equally weighting them.
