America - Sliding Down The Shitter

[Aegon]

If more jobs than workers caused pay to go up at the rate that it should have over the last 30 years I think it would've happened by now. Any positive increase or progress is only good relative to what it was prior.

Er, we haven't had more jobs that workers over the last 30 years.

Why bother writing a post if you're just gonna hyperfocus on one thing like that and ignore everything else? You ignored the last post anyway. We didn't need the same job market we did today to see a significant rise in income. Workers are making as much now as they were in the 1970s despite the increased costs of literally everything else while those in the top 10% of income have seen magnificent gains and sharp increases in their level of income. I don't know how else to hammer that into your head. Your evidence that things are improving for the average worker is just relative to recent years. A good thing! But not enough. We have a problem, it's time to address it.

I don't know anything about the economic implications of immigration, I didn't comment on that.
