- lostmsu 8mo ago"become richer alongside" == "become richer too"; by 44% according to your article
- wiseowise 8mo ago> It’s worth noting that these vastly unequal growth rates are on top of the already vast inequality that existed in 1979. Back then, the top 1% earned average wages ($281,932) more than nine times as much as the bottom 90% ($29,953). In 2023, the top 1% earned average wages ($794,129) more than 18 times as much as the bottom 90% ($43,035). 40k is what you call rich?
