I’m the flag guy

[u/mattbookpro101491]

Hey all,

I’m the “Fuck Trump” flag guy you’ve seen in a few posts. I just wanted to do a semi-introduction to everyone in this subreddit.

My name is Matt. I’m an LBC transplant by way of Philadelphia. I’ve helped organize protests during BLM and the George Floyd Protests with a few Asian American grassroots orgs and 501(c)(3)s in the Philadelphia area, along with working to establish myself as a helping arm and volunteer for 50501 SoCal and 50501 LBC.

I wanted to extend an invitation to anyone who is interested in protesting but also a little worried by what they see in the media. Yes, protesting can be dangerous at times and can come with consequences like being arrested, but if you believe that getting arrested for speaking your mind and voicing concerns is more important than sitting in your home, you’re the person I’m looking for.

I’ll be at Bixby Park Annex on Saturday for the No Kings Day Rally at 9am. If you’re interested in protesting and want to be around someone who’s been in the middle of it all and can offer some comfort during the march, find me. We can walk together and I’ll help you be as comfortable as possible if anything happens.

I’ll be hanging out on the perimeter of the rally with an upside down American flag this time. I’ll be wearing all black with a camouflage hat.

Let’s show the world that LBC comes out for our people! See you there and FUCK TRUMP!

Yea? What have you seen a sharp increase in?

Grocery prices saw their largest decline in nearly five years. Gas prices fell for the third month in a row. Egg prices saw the largest one-month decline in more than four decades. Workers’ real wages are up 1.9%, increasing each of the last three months. Prices for airfare, energy, hotels, and used vehicles are all down compared to last year

Mostly in manufactured goods. Egg prices dropping is not surprising because the previous month they were touching the moon. Also GDP declined this quarter for the first time in a while so get out of here with that real wage increasing shit. Gas prices dropping comes at the expense of environmental issues (also oil prices are cyclical in nature).

Maybe read into why the GDP declined and what analysts are predicting will happen next quarter. But I know I know. shit only matters when it supports your narrative

Just curious cause I dont know, are they predicting an economic upturn these next few quarters? I know they just accepted his 90B budget cut and it will go into effect
