The is is excellent trolling by you. Good job!
You’re still getting blocked so I don’t have to see such aggressive ignorance and stupidity again, even via people reposting it.
Have a good day!

I’m sure the ebook versions are great, but if you are interested and can afford it shell out for one of the remaining physical copies. It’s bea-yoot-ee-ful.

I would imagine as one approaches the completion of a novel it increasingly feels like a real-life version of Achilles and the Tortoise … right up to the moment you actually finish.

They are fun books. The author lives near regularly drops by the great local independent bookstore near where he lives and signs dozens of copies for them to ship. If you want signed copies you can order them from:

No it didn’t. The government definitely claims this is the case, but outside experts are quite certain these claims are complete crap.

Second, enough people have now seen the piece, including people such as myself with backgrounds in journalism, to know the basis Weiss claimed for her decision is, politely, bullshit.

For starters, the admin was given an opportunity to be interviewed or respond in some other manner, and declined. That refusal should not then be used by Weiss as justification for delaying the piece.
You know this of course, but are playing dumb. Not doing a good job of it either.

I mean, you made the original claim they were, and definitely haven’t demonstrated it’s true. Meanwhile, I have absolutely provided data the lowest deciles are relatively wealthier than those same deciles were in 1980.

Actually no, I don’t.

Again, what in the world do you think “age-adjustment” has to do with determining the lowest income deciles, the highest ones, or any in between? To borrow a term from you, it’s a bullshit critique.

Yeah, I have. The lowest deciles are +17% over inflation since 1980. As in, those deciles are relatively wealthier when compared to those same deciles in 1980.

Because I didn’t see anything in his post where he explicitly stated wages for the poor had gone up faster than CPI?

Uhm … his original post was that wages have generally risen faster than costs, which is … you know … correct, whether you use that metric, or the chart I posted, or others. You are the one who made the incorrect reference to “poor get poorer”.

Sure I have. If nothing else, that “bullshit” chart makes clear they have. If you want to argue benefits received need to be included, then the same goes for your side of the argument, and neither of us have “proved” our positions.

Rising inequality is NOT the same as saying the poor are relatively poorer than they were in the past, which has been the thrust of your original posts from what I read. I have already stated several times I completely share your concerns vis-a-vis rising wealth inequality.

The thing is, I largely agree with your overall concerns, just think you are making misguided/incorrect points to push arguments I otherwise agree with.

Nope. I agree we need to provide more support for the poor, that wealth accumulation amongst the highest earners is a problem, etc.
You, OTOH, have alluded to “poor get poorer”, argued they are relatively less wealthy than in the past, things which are demonstrably false.
