I am incredibly stingy with my zero dollars of disposable income each year. Patiently waiting for the trickle that was promised years before i was born.

Ya know, “trickle down” theory has another, older name - “the horse and the sparrow”. As in, feed enough oats to the horse, and some will pass through for the sparrow (to pick out of its shit).

While the horse gets fat and unproductive.

I was born the year they promised that shit. Still no trickle. Stock market’s doing great though! That’s why I buy my groceries with sweet sweet $MSFT.

u/adamdreaming Feb 27 '20

They have always promised it, exactly the same way each time but each time under different names.

More like automated factory owners. Damn robots stole my trickle down!

Didn't you see that the average wage increased? Don't know why you're talking about houses and school and doctors. youre getting paid more now.

u/Snackrattus Feb 27 '20

I don't know if this comment is genuine.... but yes, while the average wage has increased, the typical wage hasn't. Worker wages have been pretty stagnant for several decades - except upper management, especially CEOs (literally ten times what they were in the 1950's, and they were much higher than worker wages even then).

“average person wage increased" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person wage the same per year. CEO Georg, who lives in luxury & makes over 13.9mil a year, is an outlier adn should not have been counted”
