Lol, huh? I doubt disposable income is lower now vs 50 years ago. What the ever loving fuckity fuck does that have to do with empathy?
You have this awful habit of jumping to weird conclusion. Me saying I doubt disposable income is lower now doesn’t mean I automatically think wages haven’t stagnated.
You also have this really weird and frustrating habit of word vomiting talking points you think help your case when they don’t necessarily. For example, employee wages may have stagnated, but if improvements in production havereduced costs then said employee has a reduced cost of living. Meaning that employee is possibly in a better position financially then they would have been otherwise.
That’s complicated so I expect your reply to resemble flung monkey poo.
Dude. Just shut the fuck up.
Wrong. The several degrees that hang in my office, the fucking letters after my name, and the decade-plus of experience in financial analyses.
Lol. Just fucking lol. I would love to hear why they “had to” in your words.
Ya, I’ve spent money on education unlike you, clearly.
He used the fuckin’ average when he thought it helped his story out, now that it doesn’t he’s demonizing it and shit. Doesn’t matter more people can clearly buy more shit. I wonder if he understand real vs nominal income
More importantly, I wish I could teleport him to America for a day. So he could see that the VAST majority of the populations financial problems are self induced on a daily basis
We really are terrible with our money. Although, I have been pleasantly surprised recently with the number of people I’ve talked to who actually budget and live below their means. It’s a very biased, small sample, yet, give me hope.
yea, individual choices and all that but I am going to judge because guess who’ll be the one stuck with the bill when these assholes default, again? Us. That’s who. So, yea, I’ll judge until the cows come home damnit.
I actually don’t mind it. My rationale is that societal status has almost nothing to do with your absolute value, but where you fall on the distribution.
Every person out there that lives on credit cards and an unbalanced budget just pushes me further up the totem pole. You can’t be a 1%'r unless you beat the other 99
Again, if disposable income is higher why is the middle class disappearing?
But yet, the middle class seems to disappear. Odd, wouldn’t you say?
Too many sources to list.

A condemnation of the American education system.

Because they were losing ground, genius. What were their options? While a good deal of the gains went to the upper class, the middle had few choices. Just trying to keep their head above water. After decades of economic policies, most likely supported by you, it will be nice to have a change in government not owned and run by the corporations for their benefit typically at the expense of the public. Their greed knows no limit. It is never enough.
You clearly have NO IDEA what you are talking about. Another person who thinks buying gadgets is a mark of wealth., when things like education and healthcare skyrocket in cost.
Yes as the population had succumbed to the effects of corporate propaganda and all that followed it. But that is starting to change as they no longer buy the bullshit as easily anymore.
No they were not forced. However they were systematically lied to by a corporate media they trusted. Now that acceptance is no longer as easy as it once was, as they are sensing the deception. Things are changing.
