@UncleIroh @YoMomz @Justicar It's the overwhelming representation of city dwellers in tech causing their increased numbers. This is breaking more now that WFH is widespread in tech, but it's still pervasive. Most people who went to college and got BAs or BSs in CS are progressive by default.

@Stahesh The third link's original study gives a 404 error, and it's title (from the link) communicates an agenda: "RI_EndingShareholderPrimacy_workingpaper_201902.pdf" I do not trust a word of the article because I cannot verify the original research. In my opinion, this is a valid cause to throw out the source.

@Stahesh The second link only lists a table made by a blogger without any information about his methodology.
Taking the graph at face shows that productivity has increased linearly (roughly) while "compensation" has increased at a lower rate. What does this prove? The author doesn't even give an explanation.

@Stahesh
Just because a trend line at one point seemed to track with the pattern of another trend line doesn't mean that it SHOULD continue: What were the specific economic conditions that caused this large increase in aggregate profits? What industries were examined? The table's text only says, "Excludes wages for education and health care to allow for comparison with profits" To me, there is not enough information to conclude anything other than what the graph says.

@Stahesh

The first link is for Australian data, which is fine, but we can't compare two different countries' data on the same standard as is being implied by placing the first link next to the other two. (Apples and Oranges)
Examining the first on its own though, it is not adjusted for inflation. Also, what does this prove?

@Stahesh I would like more information about this. Simply listing those numbers will not convince me of any conclusions. (I'm not speaking against you, Stahesh, I'm speaking to whomever created this. This is how propaganda works.)

@Stahesh This is one of the best clips of the series.

@Stahesh Harris is the only one who can legally use Biden's campaign funds; that is the simplest answer.

@GillRigged @Goalkeeper Wholesome: I approve.*

@TimeSpent Ironic, and foreboding: It did say, "again and again".

@YoMomz @FinalDresdonation @Nicezilla @Stahesh @UncleIroh Thanks for your thoughts everyone.

@UncleIroh
I suppose I did make a rational statement to answer your previous question.
My gut says, "yes," all the same though.

One should never allow intuition alone to guide a decision when there are other sources of information which can be leveraged. The intuition is a tool that is used after rational considerations to help unearth or warn of things not considered or which may require further consideration.

@UncleIroh I see your frustration in posts at times. If you believe it best, do so.

@UncleIroh @shortstories Good move.

@UncleIroh
Do it because the opportunity is solid, and I'm in a good place to act on it based on the timeline I understand he's considering.

@Stahesh lol

@RegalBeagle My sympathies to you. I understand the pain of requirement gathering and analysis.

(I seriously doubt I could get him to let me inherit it either.)
