    They are a part of it. A lot of the increases in compensation over the last 20-30 years have been eaten up by health care premiums instead of salary increases.

    Of course there's no guarantee that people would have gotten the salary increases to match what's been put out for health care premiums (especially because they're tax deductible for businesses) but I'd say health care premiums are def a big part of it.

    Saw a screenshot of a tweet but looks like the account is no longer active:

    Mario Kart's "the closer you get to 1st place you are, the less useful power-ups you get" system is an ideal model for how our economy should work.

  16. Kanye And Letterman Talk Trump In New Netflix Interview
    According to that Daily Beast report, Letterman tries to ask Kanye about Trump’s support of voter-suppression efforts. Kanye apparently ignores the question talks about Trump supporters who are “treated like enemies of America because that’s what they felt.” And he asks Letterman, “Have you ever been beat up in your high school for wearing the wrong hat?” When Letterman asks Kanye who does most of the bullying in America, Kanye responds, “Liberals bully people who are Trump supporters!”
    Cool, we're gonna be doing a round of this again I see
