That's not counting all the people killed by cuts to USAID etc, blockade of Cuba etc, etc etc. I'm sure some of them were in boats too, though maybe not right when they died.

Try reading it again. Indeed the first part of the excerpt talks about "inflation-adjusted" - but the later part, comparing the differing rates of growth, doesn't use that adjective.

I thin it is saying inflation-adjusted wage growth is on average zero. That means that some people's are going up and some people's are going down, to get an average of zero.

Which people in the article do you identify them saying are having their 'real wages' go down, to counterbalance the others?

I don't know, did you understand the part about one group of wages is growing slower than another? You seem to be treating them all as a single group still

If you can sub-divide the groups of wages and find one that's growing slower than others, you know that's a group not keeping up with inflation

excellent and detailed article detailing the flimsy and prejudicial foundations of the case against the Prairieland defendants!

it highlights issues that have been underreported by people covering the case - including juror coercion!!

please read and share.

Another interpretation is "This rising tide is not rising everyone's boat the same."

A rising tide is something of a good analogy for a situation where we are talking about wages/wealth (boats) keeping up with inflation(water level).

"On average, boats are still floating"

That is a correct interpretation. And I'm citing evidence that says it, I'm not just saying it myself.

you're not going to keep the bundle going?

remember before you criticize others, maybe attempt to work on your own shortcomings in this regard (see above skeet⬆️)

maybe it is because you ignore
**Wage growth for lower-paid workers has slowed more sharply than for higher earners in recent years***
when it doesn't fit your narrative that there aren't more people struggling financially now?

thank YOU for still being curious and looking for archives.

Dude I covered this for you already:
"Wage growth for lower-paid workers has slowed more sharply than for higher earners in recent years"

To translate, while the *average* wage growth has kept pace with inflation, people on the lower spectrum of wages have had their wages not keep up with inflation

archive.is seems to have figured out a way

You're wasting my time by speaking over me and ignoring what I say.

i think you know "serial rapist and Republican" didn't make him admirable.

but glad to hear maybe you have now figured out that doesn't mean he didn't do anything admirable

you also don't seem to know that much about him if you think he wasn't a lasting leader with the Panthers (/BLA)

Have you read my skeets that you are replying to?

They aren't that difficult to understand.

also, you say he wasn't a lasting leader with the Black Panthers?

i seem to remember a big part of their demise (apart from external forces) being the Cleaver/Newton split.
while we're bringing all that up, Newton also changed quite a lot from the original revolutionary he was. there's complexity

hold on - I said i liked the part in Klein's essay where he talked about Cleaver.

after your first response i provided the excerpt i was talking about.

all of what you're bringing in is extraneous. in that segment Klein even addresses the issue about if you have to endorse everything about someone

I thought the last part was going to be "... but also what the fuck can you do about it?"

In Canada, there was a recent interview on CBC with a guy (Errol Schweitzer) explaining all that too. He calls it the "commissary model" - and emphasizes the important part of it is for the govt to subsidize the operating costs, not the profit margins.

The Hungary chants reminded me more of "Lock her up! Lock her up!" than anything else.

Thanks!

My comment on the last point, "The perils of telling people who can't think clearly what to do." I'm unsure how much it is a valid point, that people will turn against Jews simply b/c they hear that being against Israel means they're against all Jews.

so much as to deepen understanding. To talk with others is to believe in the possibility of change — theirs and your own. Whether you like everything that someone has said should be severed from the question of whether that person is worth talking to. The space for such conversations was once wider. In 1968, William F. Buckley Jr., the archconservative founder of National Review, hosted Eldridge Cleaver, the minister of information for the Black Panthers, on “Firing Line.” Neither man was there to endorse the other’s politics. “I should like to begin by asking Mr. Cleaver whether he finds it consistent with his ideology to encourage the assassination of Mr. Richard Nixon,” Buckley said. Cleaver’s answer: “I would say that if Richard Nixon was assassinated, it would only result in having another pig in line who possibly would need to be assassinated.” Buckley later hosted Cleaver at his home. It was a different time, but it created a lasting artifact. The interview has hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube and remains riveting to watch.

An early leader of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defence, one of the few actual revolutionary initiatives that has existed in this country?

"Bring back democracy to Canada"

"But when did we ever have it?"

"That time in the 90s when everyone got to vote on whether to stay in the country or not"

"Well you mean Quebec had democracy for a bit"

"At least it wasn't first-past-the-post representative BS!"

"But thats "democracy" in Canada"

personally i liked the part where he brought in Eldridge Cleaver
