I wouldn't call Dewalt cheap. They're usually priced on the high end for consumer tools. Cheap-enough maybe? Cheap for professionals? I'm not sure. That said, I typically prefer to buy Dewalt.

Living wage varies from place to place. Some places in the US it probably is around $15/hour. Others may have living wages as high as $30/hour. What they should do is set the minimum wage based on a formula for local living costs.

I totally agree. This makes me want to close my pnc account.

These numbers are inflated says this Zookeeper. But I've got a swan guy, so I'm all set either way.

As someone who is intimately familiar with the trade of ornamental waterfowl I can tell you that those prices are much to high for swans and they would go for closer to 200-500 for a young bird and up to maybe 1200 for a mature breeder.

Each day they recite what was gifted to them. Each day they get all the gifts of the days before plus a new gift. So, for example, the first day you get a partridge. But on the second day you get two turtle doves and a partridge. So now you have 3 partridges and two turtle doves. Repeat as the days go up. So the total number of any given item will be equal to the number given times the result of 13 minus the day it was given, or Total = N(13-d). So golden rings is 5(13-5) which is 40. Partridges is 1(13-1) which equals 12. Etc etc.

I’ve been looking to find good data on housing. For example, for a given city, how much has the population, income (household and individual), housing supply, housing prices, interest rates, etc changed in the last few years.
It would be cool to see what companies have been buying residential properties too so I can get a good picture of what the housing outlook will be like.
Housing has been my biggest financial burden in the last few years. I hope to be able to work on this some day, but I don’t have much time or experience in data analytics. I’m not sure what conclusions I could draw without oversimplifying things. I truly don’t believe inflation is entirely, or even a large reason for the cost of living. If any reputable websites have put this together, it would be nice to see.

You do understand when the song repeats a verse that it actually ISN’T an accumulation of past repetitions right?? That logic is so flawed.

PNC makes some judgement calls to be sure. In their defense, they use the same methodology every year, so at least the numbers are consistent year-over-year.

As PNC explains it in their calculations, "This represents the total cost of all the gifts bestowed by True Love when you count each repetition of the song, totaling 364 presents."

also they seem to be purchasing the swans and other birds, but only hiring the human dancers and such for one performance only. I would think that you could make an arrangement to rent some swans, if you looked around, so it's not really a fair comparison of one performance versus unlimited ownership.

They seem to be hiring a dance company for just one performance.

I think 14carat gold plated rings can still be advertised as "gold rings." One of the properties of gold is that it can be hammered really thinly and still be useable, hence if you want to be cheap you just use a really thin layer. Edible gold leaf on desserts is a thing and actually isn't as expensive as you might guess due to the extreme thinness of the gold.

I like all the “blank that made America” except each episode is like 2.5x longer than it needs to be. They drag out each story and then do stupid cliffhangers before breaks. The hen they recap when they come back.

That's probably only on sitting days. Not sure how many there are but it would likely be under 100.

I’m sorry I’m confused… what’s up with the numbers that are before each object? Like its 12 days of Christmas? Why is the lowest number 12? The song says FIVE golden rings not FORTY?!

lol idk anything about swan markets but anyone can beat that bid for 42 swans. You telling me I can't find a swan on the market for under 1k a swan when I'm buying at that scale??? lol - terrible, untrustworthy data.
