    Yup it is crazy how much people could earn, buy a house, buy all that stuff and still kinda swim in money.

    The Generation of my Grandparents was like that. Rebuilding the country, enjoying the unrestrained economic growth, having a really good and early pension… it is crazy.

      It’s the billionaires. Apparently it was trickle-up economics all along.

        I don’t know, man. Maybe we need another 28 thousand studies to prove the same plainly obvious fact.

          No don’t you get it? We can allow them to control all wealth in existence because that doesn’t hurt our economy because some celebrity economist from my high-school economics class in the 70s told me that value was theoretically infinite.
