Just did a quick search, “interactive chart of us state and federal budgets”.
Found this government site for federal budgets: https://www.cbo.gov/interactives
For instance, here’s a page with charts for the 2023 federal budget: https://www.cbo.gov/publication/59727
I would hope similar sites exist for most, if not all, of the states.
Imagine how hard it would be to resist wording things in the Imperative just… Accidentally.
You get frustrated, yell “Shut up!” at someone in passing, and that person is now mute unless you realize your mistake and undo it.
Might subcategorize, like “Frankensteinian irony.”
Debt strike!
Debt strike!
Debt strike!
I, for one, thought this was a reasonable take.
What else do people expect you to comment? Like…
Neat.
Or…
Thoughts and prayers for the driver and his family.

What discussion can a post like this garner except speculation? And to preface your speculation with an acknowledgement that the story has no real details… seems fair to me.
Golly! Three whole data points?! Now we are cooking with gas!

You picked two random days, compared their active user counts, and concluded that it must indicate a continuous trend.
Yesterday, it was 60°F out. Today it’s 30°F out. Clearly, by next week, everyone in my town will be dead by freezing.
Experts struggle with statistics. Laymen, doubly so.
EDIT:
Also, that’s only a difference of 7%, so it’s not even that drastic.
EDIT2:
Also also, what does any of this have to do with your post being removed? What was the post? Did the mod/admin give you a reason for removal?
Which explains why it was standard procedure for presidents to put their money in a blind trust. And why Trump didn’t.
The population of NYC is 8 million, and they had fewer than 1M votes for mayor? That, like, 12.5%.
Even if you limit it to just citizen population, I found that number to be 6-7 million. Thats still only a 14-16% voter turnout.
The fuck?
I had never heard that before, and that now my truth. It makes so much sense.
The previous conviction was overturned on a procedural issue, like a mistrial. He wasn’t pardoned or found not guilty, so it isn’t double jeopardy. It’s just a “redo” to make sure another jury would still convict without the procedural issue.
the [worst] Democrat [is] better than the best Republican
That’s generally true, but not in the hypothetical. I’d honestly vote for Mitt Romney before I’d vote for hypothetical Democrat-Ticket Trump.
It’s called “Whattaboutism” and it’s straight from Russia’s playbook.
See, we all thought that.
Turns out the problem wasn’t that they committed genocide. It’s that the genocide was directed at the Jewish people.
And as Netanyahu would have you believe, if you’re against Israel, you’re against the Jewish people. So that makes you a Nazi.
Flawless logic, clearly.

If you think growing up in a conservative household guarantees a kid becomes conservative, you didn’t grow up in a conservative household.
Billionaires now control 1 out of every 25 dollars of American wealth.
1/25=4%
According to Google, there are 735 billionaires in the US, and the US population is 336,269,260. That makes Billionaires about 0.000002% of the population.
And they control 4% of the wealth. (And that’s probably not counting money they have hidden and sheltered.)
For reference, 4% of the population would be 13,450,770.
So 735 people have as much wealth as would be held by about 13.5 million people, if all wealth was distributed evenly. So each billionaire would be worth about 18,000 people.
But, it’s even worse in our current distribution:
Due to this influx to the very top, these 800 individuals now collectively control 1.5 times more wealth than the entire bottom 50 percent of American households, who share $3.7 trillion between 65 million households.
And, since money is free speech, that means these 735 billionaires have 1.5 times the voice of 65 million people, the majority of Americans, combined.
We’ve gone full oligarchy.
I somehow don’t think we’ll find a site that breaks down every purchase the government has made, let alone one that specifically detects and highlights corruption.
So I guess the official budgets are the best I can do to helpfully answer the question. Sorry.
