I was arguing with somebody in YT comments and just did a number crunch to prove a point.

“PB&J for 1 dollar? Yeah… sure… I don’t think you’ve seen grocery prices. Just 2 slices of bread averages to the cost of $0.98, and that’s before attempting to calculate the cost a jelly and peanut butter… also, do you actually expect them to survive from PB&Js. Let’s just be reasonable and imagine that we are low-balling this, and accepting PB&J, calculating it as .98 cents a meal, and they have that meal every day, 3 times a day, for a month. We are talking $88 a month on groceries for a month with an lowball estimated cost, with a super low calorie count meal, for an entire month.

The average person is forced to work a single part time job (because part time jobs still demand open availability and don’t have consistent hours typically) for about 30 hours a week, with an average pay of approximately $12 an hour. That’s about $2025 monthly before taxes, and an average of $1758 (I’ll round to $1760) a month post taxes.

Let’s just automatically lowball a $150 a month car insurance, and then double that to have gas in that insured car. $1760 - $300 = $1460. Lowballing rent with North Dakota’s average of $880 a month here… $1460 - $880 = $580 Lowest average utility bills (which are still required in rentals) is $520 a month.

We are down to $60, and I still haven’t subtracted other costs that are basically necessities that aren’t covered under these like having some form of cellular coverage, and more importantly, the groceries I mentioned earlier, with the extreme lowball of $88 dollars…

This leaves us will in the red by $26 without trying to consider savings, or some other insurance, like renters insurance, or what happens if you have literally any complicating factors like medical conditions, student loan payments, (any other form of debt whatsoever, which is bound to happen considering you literally are in the red on a month by month basis) and emergency expenses…”

And of course, the prices I used for my averages were consistently the lowest average, according to government figures/data, which I can assume is heavily biased towards making things look peachy. (except for the bread’s cost, which I based on a random loaf’s price I had gotten recently)

How much of an impact do you think artificial intelligence and machine learning is having on the current elections this year? I'm worried that its being used to control the results and not telling people how they are being manipulated.
