Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Here's two lovely things to enjoy in the one video ... the world-record AC/DC tribute bagpipe players performing 'It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock’n’Roll)' and a fly-over by one of the adult Peregrines who've been nesting at #367Collins, checking it out.

The LNP is at an all time low but it could be worse. Media never question why they claimed even just b4 the election that Net Zero was good for the economy. Never question their broken promises on energy prices inc $550 off bills by axing the carbon tax. Prices went up instead. #auspol

America has long feared it would suffer the same fate as the Roman republic, but never quite truly appreciated how utterly absurd Roman elites had become by the time of the late republic.

That's exactly right, I've been publishing research on these people for over a decade & the red threads linking nearly all of them are:
1) the offshore financial system (to help them evade the law)
2) misogyny (the bro code, as in the Epstein files)

At a certain level of wealth you stop being American, British, French, Russian… you’re part of a transnational club above the laws of any nation. These people move in the same circles and know each other
