Subreddits are group think bubbles, i wouldn't consider that a good source of public opinion. That is like saying everyone wants Trump to be president, head over to r/thedonald.

Thanks for this source, i believe in the last fed meeting JP said he expected us to be on track for 2% this year but i don’t see how that’s possible if we are already at .6 a month in, maybe it will drastically keep going down MoM for this

I don't understand why people are scared of "Alien Chemicals" in food but will take plenty of OTC medication. If we didn't trust anything made in labs people would still be dying at 30 years old. Also, artificial sweeten
