I prefer to look at the top 20% instead of the top 10%, because it paints an even better picture of just how hosed over the vast majority of people are. Like, the bottom 80% has something like 11% of the wealth. edit: Heck, it's even more ridiculous if you look at the bottom 50%, who have than 2% of the wealth. edit2: It's actually pretty impressive the USSR kept the top 10% income share so low; only ~2.5x as much as you'd expect under a perfectly equitable system is pretty good. Joementum posted:podesta even emailed his tech guy to ask "should i click this" but because hillary generates a sphere of incompetence that infects anyone working for her, the tech made a typo and wrote "you should click it" instead of "you shouldn't click it" IIRC it seemed like the tech guy legitimately hosed up and recommended Podesta click the obvious phishing e-mail, and the "uh, it was a typo" thing was him trying to cover his rear end after the fact.

loquacius posted:One of the things I've learned in the last couple years is that "competence" as an abstract concept doesn't matter nearly as much to a campaign as the commentariat seems to think. she lost 2008 because of incompetence. her campaign strategist in the 2008 primaries thought that the states were winner take all and her campaign did not understand the importance of early states. she similarly lost 2016 because of incredible incompetence that resulted in such things as her campaign telling union workers to turn around from their plan of trying to campaign in wisconsin, taking millions of dollars in bribe money from wall street shortly before running against her staff's advice, etc.

comedyblissoption posted:uh she generated an illusion of competence that the media went along with. dread abuela actually generates an aura of incompetence. Also you would think that multiple defeats in rust belt states would have clued her campaign in that she had a fundamental weakness in those states. Instead she ended up ignoring states that Bernie won like Wisconsin and decided not to send any campaign help to Michigan.

Welcome home workers of the Eastern Standard Timezone The Suck Zone didn't stop sucking just because you had to make a buck Joe and Jane sixpack These fuckers want to fight working people but the only weapons they have are bad ideas, branding and snark. Also, I can't believe I fell for all that Russian agitprop about how people deserve more than gently caress all and how we live in a poo poo hole society run by ineffectual, greedy, self-aggrandizing fuckers.

only from the generosity of productive supermen are jobs birthed. if you do not give them the billions of dollars they are rightfully owed, then they may abscond to galt's gulch and society will be left in abject poverty as a result with no jobs for anyone since no one is there making the jobs anymore
