mute point

Is that where you just don't say it ? Just kidding.

Actually I think inflation may happen. I know that's what a lot of people would like to cause. "LEt's pay off that debt with dollars that are worth less than the ones that were borrowed." I think that is essentially the reason why so much outstanding debt is deflationary. It's sort of as if all those borrowers are short bonds.

Just the first early phase of it, minor blimp from the bottom, though ECI wage inflation for job switchers running at 4.2% now

Do you think they invite loan officers to national economic conferences or do nationally housing market previews?

Don't you love it when a guy tries to explain to someone how important he is?

Logan Mohtashami says

Real wages have been growing for decades, only conditioned to think other wise

Okay, this chart doesn't divvy everything up. For all we know this could be a country of one person, who has an army of robots.

As always, you guys have a lot economic theories that haven't panned out

To be honest, you guys can't read data properly, that is your problem, it's because you had no training in this

Wages move with inflation

The baseline theory that this isn't a real thing shows a lack of a economic background

But it's ok ... this isn't what you guys do for a living so it's ok to be off by a lot....

Data Miners vs Anti American Trolls

A battle we want to have.. all part of a bigger plan, each doing their own part...

21 year war...

#USA

by the way MASI hit $60 bucks

But.. I do get why you guys love cash and ARLP ...

I always respect heavy cycle investment game plan, its shows a lot discipline and patience ... kids these days lack that, always trying to hit a home run

Go for you guys!

These charts are far more clear and direct.

And it's not the UniParty/Globalist/Corpratist Elite's "Education" that is the problem. Low Wage workers are stunningly more educated than in the previous generation.

Amazing what happened when we had a tariff, regulation, unions, and a declining number of foreign born citizens.

This has been one of the most worthless charts ever

This is why the real left is as bad as the real right

They can't read data right

The big movement in productivity came in manufacturing and this is now the smallest work force we have in the U.S.

But output is high

So, the baseline theory is that we wanted a dying employment industry to reverse trends and have 90 million Americans out of work for the sake of producing this chart

3.3 Million workers get paid $7.25 a hour

min wage which was never created to be a primary single work job .. hence why majority are 2nd wage earners with no college education

As always, you can see why the left and right have got it wrong on America

They can't read data properly and they try to manage a low multiplier into a big one

You're going to lose because you're not versed in demographic economics

It's a myth

Low rates isn't a bad thing

Labor force growth matters.... why America is the most power economic force ever... people!

Brazil is tiny compared to us

dollar moving up has minimal impact on us, only oil states

This is a failure of capitalism, plain and simple. If capitalism worked remotely as well as its proponents claim then the median household income today would be $88k/yr based on the information provided in the graphs posted by thunderlips.

Clearly capitalism hasn't worked. Technology, not capitalism, increased productivity 250% since 1950, but today a dual income family barely makes ends meet while in the 1950s a single income allowed people to own their house outright and have a vacation home.

When you realize that capitalism is letting a greedy bunch of parasites control production and distribution -- and has nothing to do with private property rights -- then it comes at no surprise that these greedy parasites screw up the economy for everyone else in order to lock in short term gains for themselves. Capitalism is not the opposite of communism. It's communism with a different nomenclature. Call the party leaders executives and you have capitalism.

That's dual income, college educated, professionals in most case. Yes, I believe the majority of the parents I have been meeting on return to school are exactly in this boat. Amazing. I am such an anomaly : single income family and a home owner.

I didn't do that off my salary either. I just got stupid lucky in tech (stocks). The new college hires today I don't think have a prayer to have something similar happen to them.

Edit: Loagn's convinced we are all going to be mega rich selling each other coffee and Chinese food though.
