Delhi recorded an all-time high temperature of 52.9 degrees Celsius (127.22 Fahrenheit) on Wednesday as extreme heat conditions gripped the north and western parts of India, causing students to faint in schools and drinking water taps to dry up.

A heat wave alert has been in place for large parts of India since last week but on Wednesday the temperature in Mungeshpur, a densely packed corner of Delhi, crossed the 50 C mark, the weather office said.

Congratulations yes, you have correctly identified that wages have raised significantly in a short period of time. That's still well below where they should be, and it is not indicative of how many people are struggling.
But it doesn't explain why people's attitudes towards the economy are worse than before the significant increase in wages. If they're this mad now, shouldn't they have been just as mad about the economy in 2019?

It's like the panics about crime or immigration when the numbers have gone down: if conditions haven't gotten worse, what really explains the shift in attitudes?

Are we just going to ignore the part where TC said they've worked six jobs in a 10-year period that paid living wages at 40 hours a week and offered free health care plans

As if the fourth employer would see that they apparently can't hold/stay at a job for more than a year and a half and not see that as a red flag
Leaving jobs after a year and a half is how you get pay increases. A lot of people got better jobs following the pandemic.

Kinda sucks to point out but investments / stocks definitely mean jackshit to most Americans living either paycheck to paycheck or not all that far from it.
The good news is that people at the bottom rungs of the ladder have done better than those at the top

https://www.epi.org/publication/swa-wages-2023/
Between 2019 and 2023, hourly wage growth was strongest at the bottom of the wage distribution. The 10th-percentile real hourly wage grew 12.1% over the four-year period. To be clear, these are real (inflation-adjusted) wage changes. Overall inflation grew nearly 20%, or about 4.5% annually, between 2019 and 2023. Even with this historically fast inflation, particularly in the immediate aftermath of the pandemic recession, low-end wages grew substantially faster than price growth. Nominal wages (i.e., not inflation-adjusted) rose by roughly 34% cumulatively since 2019.

Across the wage distribution, we see the pace of wage growth declining for each successive wage group. Compared with the 12.1% wage growth at the bottom, growth was less than half as fast for lower-middle-wage workers (5.0%) and less than one-third as fast for middle-wage workers (3.0%) between 2019 and 2023. Upper-middle wages grew 2.0% over the four-year period, while the 90th-percentile wage grew even slower at 0.9%.

Deflation makes the rich, who already have a lot of money, richer, by increasing the value of that money. If you have debt, that debt becomes harder to pay off under deflation.

For those saying she's not dominating like LeBron, he was 1-5 in his first 6 games averaging 16.2 ppg, 7.7 rebounds, 7 assists. Clark in her first 6 games is also 1-5, averaging 16.7 ppg, 5.5 rebounds, 6.2 assists.

Not a huge difference between their career starts.
Note when comparing these statistics: WNBA games are 8 minutes shorter.

Day 1 (really just 6 hours or so) report
- I was not expecting the arch to be as cool as it is. Its scale is legitimately awe-inspiring in person. Also, I had been under the impression my whole life that it was made out of concrete or stone, like the Washington Monument.

- The soccer game was a good time, even though City lost. I really like that stadium; it's a lot more open and airy than Red Bull Arena, but still retains a great atmosphere from the supporter's section. Also I had a cheesesteak that had no business being as good as it was.

- On the way back to the hotel we passed a CVS that had a sushi section? God help the people buying sushi from a CVS in the middle of the country.

I can't imagine the Cardinals will be playing tonight, give this weather. Which is a bummer and means we need to find some indoor alternative plans.

I don't know anything about how the draft works in US sport.

Does that mean a player just has no choice but to go to the team that picks them? They can't decide based on who makes the best offer, or is likely to give them most success, or even which one they support?
That's correct. It's an anti-labor policy intended to keep salaries down.

How long do they have to stay with that team?
Depends on the league; in the NBA, WNBA, and NFL it's four years, MLB teams retain control for 6.
