Amazing comment. Ever since beginnign to experience gut issues that only appear when I am unemployed or feel my job is under threat, I have observed the ailments of friends and loved ones in a new light. You just added another layer to my questioning. To be clear, I am not reaching conclusions but just asking more questions.


Stress-induced gastritis (or even plain old stress-induced GERD) is too real and downright miserable :(


Glassdoor reports Netlify as having 51-200 employees, so based on your 46 number this layoff affected anywhere between 23% and 90% of Netlify's employees. Pretty disturbing.


Closer to 300 according to LinkedIn.


the info on glassdoor is not correct.


Well then, what is the correct number?


Under capitalism, cities have no incentive to get better at counting the homeless. In fact, they are more incentivized to increase their rate of death than to calculate their rate of existence.


Sources for such nonsense are extremely easy to come by in the US media. The ruling class pushes such propaganda non-stop.


If true then capitalism is fundamentally unjust and must be replaced.


IDK that this is a new argument? LMK though if you want a more full response


Who said it's a new argument? My point holds regardless of how true or new the argument is.


Exactly we must have a workers revolution, where the buregious is overthrown and the streets run red with the blood of capitalists. Then when we have no more of those parasitic capitalists sucking out the blood of the working man we will establish a glorious dictatorship of the proletariat wherein all will care for and love one another equally, where profit will be no more and the goods and services will flow through the streets without end for every person to be able to do whatever they want.

Then not long after the organs of the state will wither away as they will no longer be needed as tools of exploitation by those who own the means of production.

Come comrade join me in this glorious future, for this time we will have REAL communism that will REALLY work, unlike all others that came before us.

Do both obviously


I've always thought of a time machine as being capable of traversing time but not rearranging it.


> presumably their plan was to brew Sapporo at Anchor in a similar way

Think again. Anchor was unionized. Stone is not.


What does this mean?


If you are referring to "shelter up": "shelter" is one of the elements of the index. It refers mostly to the cost of housing. So, rent's up.


I don't think rent has gone down in my 35 years of breathing...


Right after lockdown COVID restrictions got slightly lifted from the full-scale lockdown in a European country, the prices slightly dropped for some months, only to start raising again (and this month is all-time record for raises).


I seem to recall an event in 2020 where rent in NYC of all places drastically dropped.


Bingo! Let's just do that again...


It did temporarily in Sydney in 2020/2021, but back to normal now


Here is what I don't understand. Interest rates keep going up so mortgages keep going up so rents keep going up (this is more pronounced in places that have shorter mortgage terms like Canada). Then we bemoan inflation in housing?


The general public bemoans inflation in everything all the time. I’ve been hearing about the overpriced real estate market and the upcoming bubble burst since 2013.


Rent's up .4 percent, or around 5% annualized. Rent's up but not very much.


It’s even down according to ApartmentList.


lmao


I would suggest reading the summary of the news release and checking back in after that with any remaining, more specific questions.


The page says the monthly USA CPI came in at 0.2% which is quite low as if that trend continues, it will equate to a 2.4% annual inflation number.

The 'Shelter up' in the comment refers to this statement found in the report:

The index for shelter was the largest contributor to the monthly all items increase, accounting for over 70 percent of the increase

That means rents are still going up and they also account for the largest rise in monthly inflation.


I have been holding that housing will never decrease in price since the big COVID spike, and it seems to be playing out.


The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) rose 0.2 percent in June on a seasonally adjusted basis, after increasing 0.1 percent in May.

Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 3.0 percent before seasonal adjustment


Hopefully the 12 month is will stay below 4% so I won't get as big of a paycut this year.


Inflation was expected to go down not up.


This report is actually better than expected: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/12/inflation-rose-just-0point2p...


No, the consensus estimate was a .3% rise, so a .2% rise is lower than expected by Wall Street analysts. You may be confusing rate vs level.


This column found on that page indicates inflation has gone down:

    Un-adjusted 12-mos. 
    ended Jun. 2023 
    3.0%
I'm pretty sure the last reported USA annual inflation figure was 4%.


It did go down.


It did go down. You’re confusing disinflation with deflation.


hide the ruler and you're halfway there.
