Me and Jeff Bezos have an average net worth of 50 billion

2020-03-13 20:36:20 UTC  

Real takes into account cost of living.

2020-03-13 20:36:34 UTC  

1. We aren't measuring wealth
2. People like Bezos aren't included in the Median.

2020-03-13 20:36:54 UTC  

this low iq

2020-03-13 20:36:59 UTC  

push for class warfare

2020-03-13 20:37:12 UTC  

is really embarrassing lol

2020-03-13 20:37:17 UTC  

wait hold on

2020-03-13 20:37:18 UTC  

Nonetheless, CEOs have seen increased pay because their productivity has rapidly increased. This is true for white collar workers as a whole.

2020-03-13 20:37:23 UTC  

Trump just complemented California 😳

2020-03-13 20:37:24 UTC  

how can the wages of minimum wage workers lessen

2020-03-13 20:37:32 UTC  

However every income group has seen higher real incomes.

2020-03-13 20:37:33 UTC  

when minimum wage has been increasing

The graph you posted, or meme, is misleading.

2020-03-13 20:37:45 UTC  

I take issues with this graph aswell

2020-03-13 20:38:16 UTC  

The pay increases do not match these other costs

2020-03-13 20:38:18 UTC  

When you **do** account for these variables, you get this

2020-03-13 20:38:21 UTC  

as productivity continues to increase the real wages move up along with it

nothing wrong wit hthe rich getting richer

2020-03-13 20:38:36 UTC  

when they're better than a large portion of the population lol

2020-03-13 20:38:47 UTC  

social darwinism in action

2020-03-13 20:38:49 UTC  

They’re not over 1000% better

2020-03-13 20:38:52 UTC  

I'm going to repost this
I take issues with this graph aswell
The issues are: it doesn't account for depreciation in productivity; it doesn't use all worker's wages, just a selection; it doesn't take into account all productivity; it use two different inflation indexes; it doesn't use compensation - workers aren't simply paid in wages.

2020-03-13 20:38:57 UTC  

thats not an argument

2020-03-13 20:39:01 UTC  

as usual

2020-03-13 20:39:09 UTC  

higher iq's are linked to success

2020-03-13 20:39:11 UTC  

When you adjust for these variables, you get this:

2020-03-13 20:39:12 UTC  

Depreciation is an issue

2020-03-13 20:39:16 UTC  

try and increase the general iq of a given population

2020-03-13 20:39:22 UTC  

Depreciation of productivity statistics, your graph doesn't measure it.

2020-03-13 20:39:31 UTC  

if you want any effective social change

2020-03-13 20:39:31 UTC  

@sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ that graph showed more stagnant labour compensation

2020-03-13 20:39:34 UTC  

Which overstates productivity.

2020-03-13 20:39:45 UTC  

Yeah, because of these reasons:
> it doesn't account for depreciation in productivity; it doesn't use all worker's wages, just a selection; it doesn't take into account all productivity; it use two different inflation indexes; it doesn't use compensation - workers aren't simply paid in wages.

2020-03-13 20:39:52 UTC  

I SAW THAT

2020-03-13 20:39:55 UTC  

Your graph is showing wages only, not total compensation

2020-03-13 20:40:00 UTC  

Among the other issues.

2020-03-13 20:40:11 UTC  

What do you define as total compensation

2020-03-13 20:40:13 UTC  

Here is an article going over the issues in more detail and correcting for it: https://www.piie.com/blogs/realtime-economic-issues-watch/growing-gap-between-real-wages-and-labor-productivity
