GDP is adjusted for inflation to get “real” GDP by expressing everything in “chained 2012 dollars.” In this manner, real GDP in all of 2021 jumped to $19.43 trillion, up by 5.7% from a year earlier, the fastest annual growth since 1984, according the Bureau of Economic Analysis today.

In actual or “current” dollars, not “chained 2012 dollars,” GDP — “nominal GDP” — in all of 2021 jumped by 10.0% year-over-year to $24.0 trillion.

I'm very certain education is racist to you too. It's why you never bothered paying schoolfees it seems.

Is Bill Maher making fun of his left self?

Maher often eschews political labels, referring to himself as "practical".[60] He identifies as liberal, but stands against political correctness. In his words, "The difference is that liberals protect people, and P.C. people protect feelings."[61]

In the past, he has also described himself as a libertarian, and has also referred to himself "as a progressive, as a sane person".

Maths is racist is something progressives like you say and support. Since you are a liar, you want to take what you support and argue for and impose it on me. It is not sticking profession victim budaatum.

Everyone here knows I argue that the left thinks maths is racist and are loonies... Only a chronic liar will lie I said maths is racist.

Watch Bill maher also make my point that loonies like you, progressive loonies are the ones saying maths is racist

At least he is not as bad at this as buda. But most times he does not comprehend what he is arguing against. That's the problem

I get you, mr "maths is rascist".

Look at their latest proposed bill in Arizona, they are running mad.

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/591597-arizona-bill-would-allow-legislature-to-overturn-election-results

He sounds just as mad as basilico, and I wish this nonsense would pass just so that stupid Arizona Rep can see how voters will react to his madness.

There are different different kinds of sauces. We all know the hardships faced when one has to swallow Eba with a minimal amount of sauce.

Without the correct sauce it makes what we are given very hard to swallow indeed.

What would be the point of one's asking and knocking and seeking if not correct sauce making?

At a certain time in one's life, one must have learnt enough about sources in order to not just accept the sauce one is given. That's what one learns from Paul after all, how to make Sauce.

I love this video, firstly as a Nigerian, there is societal norm of discriminating people in the north because of the political stronghold and religious beliefs, hence fostering more disunity and tribalism, but truth be told, we are all suffering the same pain of bad leadership, and we really do need to set aside our religious and tribal differences, to fight the common enemy.

I just love how this has drawn the attention of people from all over the world to see the real Nigeria and also how fellow Nigerians are all over this comment section, correcting the misconceptions

Man, I raise my cap to you. This adventure you took on to Kano, I won't dare risk even for usd100,000. I am so scared of the far north, I have never imagined myself going to any of those places, and i am nigerian who currently resides in abuja. Man, you have my respect!!!!!

While you are all focused on the White House, this was said somewhere.

Powell today explicitly praised the success of the Fed’s jawboning, that it had worked very well, because markets had already priced in multiple rate hikes for 2022. And today was a further effort at preparing markets for what is coming.

The FOMC announced today in its statement that it would end QE entirely in “early March,” and that it would start hiking interest rates “soon.” And after the rate hikes begin, the Fed would “significantly” reduce the size of its balance sheet.

“The Committee is of the mind to raise the federal funds rate at the March meeting,” he said. That means March 16 for liftoff.

I believe in YAH Almighty, the Creator of the heavens, the earth, the seas and everything in them. I believe in the Word of YHVH El Shaddai.

Glad to know. Hopefully you'd someday evolve from mere believing, to understanding and then perhaps doing. Then might you learn to love your fellow human beings regardless of their religion instead of making false claims about them.

sirrotex:
This is obviously a scam. It is not the duty of any local government official to arrest passengers plying one-way. If these people are genuine your car would be at the Ikeja or Oshodi lastma office. As regards the road sign, the onus is on them to prove that it's one-way. Also note that there is no fine for plying one-way, the punishment is impounding of the vehicle. Ask that the matter be charged to the mobile court and you would see how fast the story would change

After the story changes, report them to police for theft and kidnapping, and ensure you sue them for distress and emotional discomfort too. This might sound absurd to some but that is the way to change things.

sonmvayina:
Your sexual attraction to men(love)..

Are you a man, sonm? Are you jealous that my attraction for you, sexual or in any way, is totally zero, though my love is 100% (or say 95, since I am not righteous)?

Grow up and change your ways and you might understand how you can love and be loved without it to do with the contents of your pants.

sonmvayina:
Is this another way of saying "I don't know"?

If that's what it says to you. After all, you have shown you lack the ability to comprehend the ancient written word so why should you be expected to understand the words written by your own peers?

sonmvayina:
Your missing the whole point and confusing your self. And falling on your own sword,.
I am saying tell me the message in the story, what do I need to take from the entire story. I know okonkwo is a character created by chinua Achebe. But you quoting the words of okonkwo as if he is real is where I find you culpable...

How can I be "quoting the words of okonkwo as if he is real"? Is it not just simply true that I quote the words that Chinua Achebe wrote in a real book that does exist?

sonmvayina:
That is my point. I read things fall apart and learn the message in the story. I don't go about quoting Okonkwo like he is an actual historical figure. He is not.

You can't quote Okonkwo because Okonkwo never wrote anything for you to quote. You could of course quote from Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart just as some quote from a book called the Holy Bible as opposed to Jesus you seem to think they quote.

sonmvayina:
Tell me why I should read the gospel story . That is all I want from you.

Why should anyone tell you why you should read the gospels? Will I profit from a reduction in your ignorance?

As I said, no one owes you an education. Either pay for your education or make your self worthy of being taught. Currently, your lack of knowledge is most appropriate and deserving. Please do not read the Gospel stories.

sonmvayina:
Are you gay?

Of what business of yours would my sexual activity be?

sonmvayina:
I know there can be stories within stories.. I expect you to tell me what Jesus temptation means
Teach me the messages in the story and how it will be beneficial to me. Not quoting mythical creatures..

Comprende?

Why? Of what benefit to me is your learning?

I'm happy with how you are sonm, but if you want to be taught, either pay for it or deserve it. No one here owes you an education!

sonmvayina:
When Harry potter said Dambuldore is the greatest sorcerer in the world in chamber of secrets, does it mean it is truth?

Is it true that a tortoise told all the animals to call him "All of Us"? Do you throw your Things Fall Apart in the dustbin because it isn't?

Fact is, if all you see in Harry Potter is whether "Dambuldore is the greatest sorcerer in the world in chamber of secrets" is true or not, I guess you learnt nothing from Harry Porter just as you learn nothing from reading in general, I suppose.

sonmvayina:
Because he is just a Roman mythology much like perseus and his flying horse...

And I only see it as such. If the writter of the story just put in some truth just to deceive people like you. I saw way pass those nuggets.

You really need to unlearn and relearn.

Do you know that a lot of ancient history is mythology? Even a lot of modern history we read is mythology, or do you think early European conduct with Africa or the arrival of Europeans in America is not romanticized mythology? I'm certain you never bothered reading any because your conduct shows a lack of learning of what many myths teach.

I learn from complete made up fiction so I can't imagine not learning the lessons taught in ancient mythology, but I guess I might just be seeing more than you who "only see it as such" and thinks he's seen it all.

PastorAIO:
When what they believe to be the source of truth is actually the source of falsehood then they are deceived believing they are following the truth.

Or when the source of truth is distorted so the truth in the source is not seen then they [are] convince[d] their belief is the truth.

It is of course due to a non-acceptance of 'Christ' in their lifes or their eyes will open and they will see.

sonmvayina:
If Mary was conceived the same way your mum conceived you, by being impregnated by their husband or boyfriend...where does his words hold any weight and mine or yours does not?

I think I am understanding you a bit. Just want to be sure of something..

Does "being impregnated by their husband or boyfriend" add to the quality of a surgeon's work? Or a plumbers? If not, why should stories about Jesus conception matter to anyone but for understanding? Is that all you see in the 4 Gospels? Mary was a virgin? Shows where your head might be, don't you think?

sonmvayina:
A grown ass man that believes a woman can become pregnant without a male input...
What did you get in biology WAEC?

O! I get you. For you it is about belief, and nothing to do with you understanding?

Did they teach you Jesus Christ in your own Biology WAEC, son?

sonmvayina:
What is the nature of God?

You are just a kid fascinated about a concept that is way over you.

All you do is to quote scriptures without the slightest idea of the information contained therin.

You have a lot to learn, so that you go from believing to knowing...

Safe journey..

Mirror mirror on the wall.

sonmvayina:
You have a mental problem. Please see a psychiatrist. Or you don't have sense at all.
You don't really know anything. Just hiding behind word salads that means nothing.

You have so much to learn. May your journey be long and perilous...

That's all I have to tell you
Either

I will continue to poke you until you look in a mirror.

sonmvayina:
Thank you. This is what I just pointed out to him. Instead of him to listen and try to understand what he us reading. He is comfortable with "believing".

Why must he listen to you, or me? Are we his God?

And why are you such a hypocrite? You yourself are only just hearing buda for the very first time even though we have a thread for it!

Present your point, or rather, in Jesusess, cast thy seeds. Those that will wither will wither, and those that will grow will grow. Your duty is to find good seed and learn the right way to do the work of planting and growing it so it produces fruit thirtyfold, a hundredfold and more.

sonmvayina:
Likely I said life is a journey from slavery in Egypt( spiritual ignorance) to the Promised Land.(spiritual enlightenment and knowledge..

And that, Sonm, is the lesson of all Scripture, from Bereshit to Revelations to the Quran and beyond mere bread, and those who know this show it in their fruits. And in their seeds. And in their sowing. And in how they journey through life too.

May your journey be very very long, Sonm.

elated177:
Budaatum, do you believe in the Creator of heaven and earth?

buda does not believe, period.

You need to learn to tell yourself the truth, which is that you yourself do not believe in the "Creator of heaven and earth". What you believe is the book you read about a "Creator of heaven and earth".

elated177:
What does it mean to believe in the Creator?

You are the believer so you tell me what it means to you to believe in the Creator.

For me though, it would mean one does not quite know about the Creator so they merely believe instead off asking and knocking and seeking so they may know.

You can tell such people by their fruits. They'd believe they are righteous even while not loving their fellow human being and neighbours just because their neighbour does not believe what they chose to believe.

sonmvayina:
I suppose you did not understand my query, so I simplified it.

Well, if you submit same way Mary got pregnant just like you, what makes his son a god and you are not?

Are you lumping us all in one group without actually listening to us individually, Son?

Did I tell you anyone's son was a "God and you are not?"

As long as the Righteous Walk is concerned, .....

righteous [ˈrʌɪtʃəs] ADJECTIVE
1. morally right or justifiable. - "feelings of righteous indignation about pay and conditions"
synonyms: good · virtuous · upright · upstanding · decent · worthy · ethical ·
2. (of a person) morally good; virtuous. - "he stood up for what he knew was right and died a righteous person" · [More]
US
informal
very good; excellent.

buda is not righteous.

elated177:
You must have felt, seen, tasted and tested the glory, goodness, greatness, kindness and awesomeness of YHVH Almighty - have known - and then believe in.

buda does not believe what buda knows.

Odd enough, it was because buda felt, saw, tasted and tested the glory, goodness, greatness, kindness that buda knows. Once buda knows a thing buda knows it. Think Paul. He did not believe until he was shown and then knew after many years of seeking.

elated177:
John 9: 35 Yahushua heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” 36 “Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.” 37 Yahushua said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.”

And if we were teaching children who know nothing of what we speak we might start them off with this kindergarten teaching. It is not the teaching for those who have learnt the lesson of the above and have now seen him and heard him speak and have and grown because of their knowing and understanding.

elated177:
You probably think I am placing them wrongly. I am not. Is it possible to know and not believe in?

Concentrate on how they are placed in your own mind. It is possible to know and not believe, but I will call them special cases. One can know one will fail if one does not study and still believe they will pass.

Now, you consider if it is possible to believe and not know. Would you say it is not more common, especially amongst believers? In fact, would you not claim I believe what I am saying but do not know what I am talking about? Many believe they should love their neighbours for instance, but they call their neighbours demons, and perverts, and so on, so I am not surprised to find that demons believe and tremble.

elated177:
, have you ever felt the goodness and greatness of YHVH Almighty - Yahushua the Messiah? Have you ever seen his mighty hand, goodness and awesomeness? Have you ever tasted his kindness, goodness and awesomeness? Have you ever carried out any test in order to ascertain the spirit? In which school do they teach these things, Budaatum?

It is a lesson in Scripture that you must test all spirits like Eve tested if it was true that she would die, or you would remain ignorant and enslaved in the Garden of Eden, and it was taught in the schools I went to and in the home I lived in. See also: How to Test the Spirits.

If buda had not "felt, and seen, and tasted", through testing, buda would not be.

benalvino3:
Lmao, you are doubling down on the madness... Your wise rebuttal is that 55.6% don't see him as an illiterate therefore he is not an illiterate

That's what your ignorant maths is racist reasoning gotten from your juvenile refusal to derive ultimate benefit from your parent's sacrifice to educate you makes you deduce.

sonmvayina:
How did Mary become pregnant?

Same way all women become pregnant.

Didn't you claim it was rude to answer questions with questions?

benalvino3:
All that brain you claim to have this is how you show for it

buda never claimed to have brain, ben. You did, and wisdom, too.

benalvino3:
How do you explain using all those brain of yours and wisdom .....

But of course now deny what you see with your very own eyes as you usually do and then lie that you never saw or wrote it.

sonmvayina:
How do you test that a woman can become pregnant without a man's input..?

You tell me how you "test that a woman can become pregnant without a man's input".

Also tell me why you would ask me to test what has already been tested zillions of times please.
