Then do the productivity median wage gap. Productivity growth has slowed down a bit (2x over 30 vs 2x over 40). But in comparison, wages have stopped moving: /30 vs /300).
I am sorry I don't have infinite data. US economic data going back to 1900 is harder to find.

No, that is not correct.
Wages for 50% of the US population have been flat for almost 50 years against CPI; and many goods and regions far outpace CPI in cost growth
0.2% growth is small enough that methodological errors far overwealm it.

Is this made up? 0.2% real wage growth over 47 years, indexed against the full CPI.
Any component of consumer spending that grows faster than CPI will be increasingly expensive. By this point, insanely so.

Imagine if non traded "fixed" costs grow 1% faster than overall inflation. We have "real wages" growing from 17.48 to 19.25 over 47 years; a whole 10% or avg 0.2% per year (!). And for non-traded it is a 32% drop in wages.
And the real gap is larger than 1% per year. share.google/qYDvL3D8dERf...

He was a white male supremacist who considered gun murders to be a net positive thing. Don't lie about the dead.

What if he considered gun murders to be a price worth paying? Shouldn't we respect his wishes: he was killed as he asked for people (including children) to be killed, in a senseless gun shooting. A sacrifice he considered worthwhile.

The right is already committing mass political violence. Maybe not against you and people like you. Maye that is why you don't care.
Gun violence is political. Police violence is political. DV is political. Sexual assault is political. Racism is political.
