edit: actually I thought you were replying to the folks who were talking about inflation, but now I'm not sure what you're replying to, so maybe disregard the rest of this comment
Inflation dropping just refers to the rate at which prices increase slowing down, not prices themselves going down. Unless regional and federal governments do something, lowered inflation only means relative stability at current price levels.
Workers with higher incomes are definitely buffered from a lot, but they easily have more in common with people making 30k than with people who are set up for life. Further, people making 30k have more in common with higher income workers than they do with people with no current income who are struggling with being unhoused. Also, everyone living as part of a community suffers together from the increased crime, health issues, and lack of opportunities promoted by economies with extreme class hierarchies.
Working class doesn't mean poor, it means you don't own business assets and generally that you don't profit off the labour of others. It's a convenient method of control to keep working class people so divided that the fight remains amongst ourselves instead of it being focused on improving things for everyone.
Same 👍
4 facts about quick cats, I think
Yeah that's why I left it at "companies," and even that much would be a monumental achievement...
May we all be warmed and fuelled by the burning of these companies in place of their product.
If I'm remembering right, that 20-30% is a match for past survey results where ordinary people were asked what they thought the distribution actually was, not what they thought it should be. I hope it's not anybody's "guideline," lol.
*edit__
I should clarify I'm pretty sure they were asked what it should be and it was definitely more egalitarian than what they thought it actually was.
Seems when both parties in a 2 party-dominated system have unpopular candidates, the horse race ends up being purely about who turns off their base the least. Not who they impress or win over, but just how many votes one doesn't lose and the other does.
Yup, just walk away... or answer 'no' since smart folks don't always say 'yes'
Romaine says you'd better keep sewage runoff out of its water supply, if you know what's good for you.
Wait, is she thinking that's how you welcome a witch or is that how she believes witches welcome people? I couldn't find an attached article and this is bugging me now...
