What measure of “the economy”? The usual measure is GDP, measured in dollars, so the number is a dimensionless ratio, not a dollar amount.
The fact that you aren’t telling me how this number was arrived at, or giving any precise answers at all, is answer enough: it’s not “adjusted” to anything. You made that up and are continuing to talk shit.
I searched for “inflation”, “nominal” and “adjusted” and didn’t find anything relevant.
I believe that the $37 trillion dollars is the total debt whenever that graphic was made, and the $12.5T is the debt increase from Trump’s first term, plus so far in his second term. That means you’re comparing Trump’s debt (issued in 2016 or later dollars) to, for example, Roosevelt’s debt (issued in 1940s dollars).
The article you link seems perfectly factual and correctly identifies that debt to GDP is more important than nominal debt. Which is why you shouldn’t be using a comparison of nominal debt increases to criticise Trump.
They’re gonna be at least a bit waterproof. People wear glasses outside, remember.
Oh yeah, what are the unadjusted numbers then?
Yep. The way national debt is “supposed” to work, is that you pay it back by growing the economy.
This is dumb as bricks. Inflation means that the most recent government will always have an outsized contribution to any national debt.
Don’t post it just because it dumps on Trump
(And I guess I have to say I too hate trump because otherwise everyone will conclude I’m defending him somehow)
Ah yes Sainsbury’s basics
Early cars were worse than trains and horses. It took a lot of effort to make them useful, and then to make them ubiquitous.
And what kind of service is gitlab, which we are discussing here, or github which was brought up in the comment, or codeberg?
And the open issues, tasks and pull requests?
Right.
Just like bluesky is centralised “for now” i.e. forever
A kangaroo wrote this, I guarantee it
I think the heuristic works better within an animal kingdom… Or maybe I’m just wrong
Kangaroos have tiny brains and to be a predator you need to be a bit smarter.
I think I’d have to pay 5x the price to get equivalent sound quality for wireless headphones. Having to untangle the wire every time I use them is worth that.
That was supposed to be the quiet part, you moron!
All animals are producing heat by metabolism, and so are naturally hotter than their environments. Being in an environment that is as hot as your ideal body temperature means your metabolism raises your temperature above the ideal.
The only way around this is active cooling - like sweating - which is generally uncomfortable as a signal that you are expending energy on keeping cool and try and get somewhere cooler where you won’t have to expend as much energy on that.
I see you’ve misunderstood me by thinking that I was replying to a specific question that you didn’t ask.
I was responding to the whole post.

So you don’t know. I’m not an economist, but I clearly know more economics than you do.
This conversation is pointless; you had your chance to demonstrate you understood, multiple times, and you failed to do so. I see my original comment got downvoted in spite of the explicit caveat because you and three other people are incapable of understanding that “these numbers criticising Trump are bogus” does not mean “I love Trump”.
Goodbye.
