I think we all need to realize that things in the US are not going to get better after Trump is no longer President. The whole system is going down in our lifetimes.

Income share for the bottom 50% of Americans is �collapsing,� new Piketty research finds

quote:

A new research paper from economists including Thomas Piketty finds that the bottom 50%�s share of income in the United States is �collapsing.�

The paper, written by Facundo Alvaredo, Lucas Chancel, Piketty, Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman, studies global inequality dynamics. And while there are rising top income and wealth shares in nearly all countries, the magnitude varies substantially.

In the U.S., between 1978 and 2015, the income share of the bottom 50% fell to 12% from 20%. Total real income for that group fell 1% during that time period.

That�s not the case elsewhere. In China � where there also has been a marked rise in income inequality � the bottom 50% saw their income go up by 401%, not surprising given the industrialization the world�s second-largest economy has seen. Even in developed France, however, the bottom 50% saw their income grow, by 39%.

Like income, wealth also has become more concentrated around the world.

The economists say that the varying magnitude suggests different country-specific policies and institutions matter greatly.

They say the findings suggest �policy discussions about rising global inequality should focus on how to equalize the distribution of primary assets, including human capital, financial capital, and bargaining power, rather than merely discussing the ex-post redistribution through taxes and transfers.� They also call for policies to improve education and access to skills, reform labor-market institutions including the minimum wage and worker bargaining power, and �steeply progressive� taxation.

Like higher taxes and redistribution of wealth is going to happen without violent revolution.

At least you weren't this guy

In 1929 an SS soldier on guard duty at the Sportpalast reportedly secreted a bomb under the speaker's platform minutes before Hitler was scheduled to appear. After the usual introductions, Hitler began a speech anticipated to last several hours. The SS guard felt a sudden need to use the men's room; confident that there was ample time in which to set off the bomb, he left his position for what he expected would be only a brief absence. Unfortunately for him and the rest of the world, he was accidentally locked in the toilet. Unable to free himself from the locked room in time, he failed to trigger the bomb. Hitler escaped injury or death because of an odd twist of fate. A friend later called it the joke of the century. "The history of the world might have been changed if he hadn't had to go to the bathroom".

This has got to be an alternate inglorious basterds plot line

The way he talks about healthcare and infrastructure is funny, because at rallies like this he sounds like he's actually in favor of big programs and big spending to help people and it must drive the Republicans nuts at a time where their attempts at Obamacare "replacements" are getting so much pushback even from their own people.

When I was in college and flunking and fat and crazy depressed me and some friends got real into robo-tripping for a little while. I wonder if it did any real damage? Anyhow I wish I could still smoke pot at least. Can't on account of my job, so now it's just booze and now I'm getting kinda fat again. We were real into bread bagging back in those days too. Youth.
