20 min outside of SF the hell starts and it never ends

2018-10-06 08:40:33 UTC  

back to the original topic, how would quality of life be measured?

2018-10-06 08:42:37 UTC  

this is gonna be a longer answer

2018-10-06 08:42:39 UTC  

lmao

Knowing USA statistic it's a good idea to take homeless, people on government support and a majority of working men into account on wages. 50k is spread between CEO and a taxi driver. CEO gets 49.999 from 50k and a driver gets 0.001. That is a median statistics

I know a girl working 3 jobs in high wage city(SF) and living with 4 roommates because she can't afford anything else.

2018-10-06 08:45:30 UTC  

uhh no

2018-10-06 08:45:37 UTC  

median doesn't work lke that

2018-10-06 08:46:01 UTC  

Why not?

2018-10-06 08:47:54 UTC  

It seems like a war is going on outside of few wealthy cities.

2018-10-06 08:48:04 UTC  

you said the ceo gets 49k from 50k?

2018-10-06 08:48:09 UTC  

Yes

2018-10-06 08:48:31 UTC  

that's how it would be

2018-10-06 08:48:33 UTC  

tnot

2018-10-06 08:48:37 UTC  

not*

2018-10-06 08:48:56 UTC  

What's wrong with it?

2018-10-06 08:49:34 UTC  

say if you work in a company

2018-10-06 08:49:59 UTC  

add all the wages in that company and divide by 2, that would be the median

2018-10-06 08:51:16 UTC  

So if you add 49.999 to 0.001 and divide on two how much is going to be?

2018-10-06 08:51:41 UTC  

the argument against this is that the median can be strewed by outliers

2018-10-06 08:51:53 UTC  

How much?

2018-10-06 08:52:01 UTC  

depends on the wage difference

2018-10-06 08:52:14 UTC  

49.999 and 0.001

2018-10-06 08:52:25 UTC  

say if the boss earns 200k and the workers 10k

2018-10-06 08:52:28 UTC  

add it up

2018-10-06 08:52:50 UTC  

and it would look like the workers earn an avg of 105k

2018-10-06 08:52:57 UTC  

Genious

2018-10-06 08:52:59 UTC  

which is false

2018-10-06 08:53:44 UTC  

So why do you present to me the median income?

2018-10-06 08:53:54 UTC  

If its false?

2018-10-06 08:53:55 UTC  

only way we have

2018-10-06 08:54:06 UTC  

On;y way you have is false?

2018-10-06 08:54:11 UTC  

and the difference won't be as extreme as i mentioned

2018-10-06 08:54:16 UTC  

You're bullshit people

2018-10-06 08:54:20 UTC  

ofc

2018-10-06 08:54:28 UTC  

arguments are never based on facts

2018-10-06 11:15:53 UTC  

Does anyone like Trotskyists other than Trotskyists?

2018-10-06 11:17:04 UTC  

To me a Trotskyist is that guy who always tries to be friends with the cool kid (Lenin) but the cool kid just laughs at him

2018-10-06 11:20:56 UTC  

No

2018-10-06 11:20:59 UTC  

Nobody likes commies
