Date: April 22nd, 2026 2:38 AM Author: sick idiotic mediation The sad part about EPAH and a lot of wealthy libs who live in suburban enclaves where nothing badly ever happens is that they actually identify with the plight of regular people. EPAH actually believes he cares more about Joe the Plumber than Trump does. Say what you want about Trump but he knows how to connect with mainstreet. Dems have had zero clue how to relate to the working class in over ten years. So it's just ironic that he thinks he's this man of the people when he would come across as so awkward around Joe America. Hello, fellow goys!

Date: April 22nd, 2026 12:32 PM Author: sick idiotic mediation Interesting reporting in the Wall Street Journal lately about how we're in an era now where so many retail investors have investments in the stock market that it actually is a reflection of how much wealth people actually have. We've never seen more people put money in the market than there is right now. It's not like previous eras where it only effected the mega rich. Today millions of regular people are effected by it.

The stock market did create some of the mega rich, though not all of them. And it's true that millions of children are being made every day, but I wouldn't attribute all of it to growth in the stock market. |

Date: April 22nd, 2026 7:53 PM Author: impressive roommate space The median American household has $8,000. Not just investments but total money saved. Even if some of it is invested in the stock market, fluctuations in the market don't impact most people's ability to afford their lives at all.

Date: April 22nd, 2026 8:11 PM Author: sick idiotic mediation This is probably true but once you move up into the top 50% increasingly it does effect people. Even if only the top 30% of Americans had sizeable investments, that's 100 million people. And it's probably bigger than that. The thing about it is once you start looking at the various tranches in society, the bottom 50% of Americans only own 2% of the wealth or whatever. That's very bad. But still more people than ever are relying on stocks to build wealth. It's the only way out of poverty for most. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5859331&forum_id=2#49835638) |

Date: April 22nd, 2026 8:17 PM Author: impressive roommate space The point is that the people who are benefiting from the Jewish numbers going up on the screen are ALREADY DOING FINE.
Take the top 30% number you mentioned. That's the approximate proportion of Americans who are NOT living paycheck to paycheck. (The $8,000 figure is for households rather than individuals, so those two statistics are easy to square; it doesn't mean that the median individual is living paycheck to paycheck and also had $8,000 at the time they were surveyed.) Stock market gains are not helping the 2/3 of Americans who are barely getting by. |

Date: April 22nd, 2026 8:59 PM Author: sick idiotic mediation It's true more should be done for the masses. But the MC is doing not that bad plus most of them own real estate, and the UMC is doing REALLY great and living lifestyles close to actual rich people 20 years ago. That being said the total # of people who can access the middle class has never been larger. And MC is more of a flavor of rich than it is the middle. It's tough to say what the bottom 50% of people will do, but at least they can afford Netflix or something. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5859331&forum_id=2#49835825) |

Waymos will grow in popularity as most people would prefer not to talk to some Persian cab driver. Most tech companies can function with fewer and fewer employees the more AI can do coding good. At any rate this is the inevitable progress of technology. These things happen. The printing press, the steam engine. Technology comes along and life changes for humans. Nearly every CEO involved in AI has said that there won't be any jobs in the future unless you're a genius creative or you turn wrenches. This is just the most likely outcome of the future. And we have to find a way to deal with it. People who own large positions in tech companies are going to live ostentatious lives of opulent wealth while most people will be begging the government for assistance and there's nothing Trump or the next President or the President after that can really do about it.

Date: April 22nd, 2026 1:59 PM Author: sick idiotic mediation Working class has been on a downward trajectory since 1996 with a little blip during Covid where it shot up for like two years. Working class also more resilient to changes from AI and won't get wiped out as much.
What do you want me to say? Things aren't great for the working class. No one has been able to solve this with a magic bullet. It's been cheaper to shear a sheap in New Zealand and transport it on a boat to the UK than it is to shear a sheep in Scotland and sell wool locally since like 1980.
You know full well that has nothing to do with Trump. Warren Buffet said the one industry he never made a dime on was textiles. There are no blue jeans made on US soil (not counting some boutique guy in his house). There's no longer any denim material made in the US. Some things simply change over time in a global economy and you can't go back, you can't just triple down on a fantasy that entire sectors of the economy are gone. Studebaker is not coming back. People in Bangladesh make fast fashion garments for subpennies per hour. How is any of this going to change or go back to the old ways? How is it Trump's fault? |
