America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

same guy who modeled the boomers as returning to the workforce in the millions as they age into their 70s/80s
a graph from EJ antoni showing not-in-labor-force levels increasing above a trendline with the caption "The number of people not in the labor force rose again in Apr to 5 million above pre-pandemic level and much more above the pre-pandemic trend; this figure had peaked in Aug '18 and fell 1.2 million before the gov't-imposed lockdowns began in early '20". I replied "lol this is among the funniest bad trendlines I have ever seen. Any basic pre-COVID projection that accounts for the aging of the US population would expect not-in-labor-force levels (mostly retirees) to increase and this implies they should actually start declining for no reason"

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

I hate to repost this highly misogynist meme but I want to highlight what @ianbassin.bsky.social is saying. This is not business as usual.

In Hungary, a key Orbán tactic in dismantling their democracy was that his allies bought media outlets that were critical of the regime and turned them into loyal cheerleaders for the regime.
