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.

It saddens me how few people understand what a fucking flex the Enterprise-D was.

"We're a civilization that flies 42 decks of wall-to-wall carpet around at 730 times the speed of light just to say 'hi' and see how you take your coffee".

And somehow, people thought warships were more impressive.

Guys, as we move ahead there are a couple of phrases that I'd like you to practice saying.

"I believe you".

"I believe the survivors".

"I believe the women".

"I believe the victims".

Practice in front of a mirror if you must.

International scandals, but not news in America.

We need to have a conservation about how the world buys it's children's entertainment from people who concealed mass child rape during a Presidential election.

On reflection, I'm perfectly comfortable being radical leftist scum to people who repeatedly jammed their dick into struggling, screaming kids.

I like being scum to those folks.

I'm going to do a deep dive into the last 15 years of traffic data and publish a full analysis, because it reveals some very interesting trends, but here is my initial takeaway:
