I wanted to explain the statue-making process for everyone.

Hearing these adults talk about how terrified they were to hear gunshots at the correspondents dinner, I can’t help think, now imagine you’re 14, at school, and going through the same thing without secret service present.

Rarely do Americans so overwhelming agree in the daily Samsung polls, but here we are.

You know what's interesting? That undocumented immigrants MAGA hates so much pay into the tax system, pay into social security, but don't get any of the perks that come with it.

10.9 million undocumented immigrants paid $86.7 billion in taxes

Things are around 3% more expensive nationwide this year - labor statistics - 3.5% in NYC! -.- People are paying more, so they’re spending more. ChatGPT breaks it down like this.

📉 The raw numbers
• According to Adobe Analytics, U.S. online spending on Black Friday 2025 hit US $11.8 billion, up 9.1% from 2024.
• Taking all retail (online + in-store, excluding autos), Mastercard SpendingPulse reports a 4.1% increase in Black Friday 2025 sales compared to 2024.

But — that’s nominal growth.

⸻

🪙 Adjusting for inflation
• According to the most recent data from Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), overall U.S. inflation (CPI) was ≈ 3.0% year-over-year for the 12 months through September 2025.
• That means if nominal Black Friday sales rose 4.1%, after adjusting for a 3.0% inflation rate, the real growth (i.e. volume / quantity of goods — roughly estimating) is only about 1.0%.
• For online sales (nominal +9.1%): after inflation, real growth is roughly 6.0%.

⸻

🎯 Interpretation — are Americans really buying more?
• Yes — but modestly. For overall Black Friday retail (online + in-store), inflation-adjusted growth is small: about +1%. That suggests Americans bought just slightly more — or roughly the same amount — but paid more because of higher prices.
• Online shopping seems stronger. The +6 % real growth online suggests a real increase in online purchases (or at least more higher-priced items), beyond just inflation.
• But gain is not huge. A +6 % real increase in online shopping isn’t a “boom.” Coupled with small growth overall, it reflects cautious spending: inflation compresses budgets, so many households may still buy less or cheaper items.

⸻

✅ What this tells us (and what it doesn’t)
• Real spending growth on Black Friday (after inflation) is modest. The extra money spent largely reflects higher prices, not a massive surge in buying volume or consumer enthusiasm.
• The increase in online shopping suggests shoppers are shifting habits toward e-commerce — maybe for convenience, better deals, or avoiding crowds — which might persist beyond the holidays.
• But headline growth masks inequality: households with more dispos…

This is just depressing. Propaganda works, I guess.

Hey you guys. My Samsung phone wanted to know if I had seen the "Controversial Time Magazine photo" of Trump. You know, the one he hates so much. And - lo and behold - the have nots outweigh the haves, 54 to 45... Maybe we need to change that.

This headline popped up in my Samsung news feed. I think it speaks for itself.

So we just canceled our #Hulu/#Disney+ subscription. We didn’t want to, but we’re done. And your survey didn’t give me the option so I wanted to make sure you knew. My personal reasons are that you are a bunch of cowards and I vote with my wallet, since that’s all you understand.🖕

This is totally the vibe. "FBI: We officially upgraded the shooter to an assassin. If we can't catch him he's a pro. We are very competent."

Just received this from my sister. This is where I was born. The cops just gassed parents dropping off their children at school. Just another #FascistRegime
