@Fpl_Furious@cafreiman *Constant 2022 Dollars* means all figures are inflation adjusted... So no, there are literally just more people that are upper class.
@JaredMclaurin@JoshYoung Yeah his behavior here was beyond inappropriate, like a coke fiend coming down from a binge. Would make me beyond nervous to take on shares of a company this guy runs.
@ReesePolitics I hate all of this, but I think its relatively clear. $9B Cash on hand + $20B loan = $29B cash piece. Issue $29B in shares of new Amalgco GME+Ebay. Total $58B in value going to Ebay s/h. Why anyone should want $29B in new equity issued to fund an acq. here is the question
@OSometimes6011@VladTheInflator This graph doesn't show that at all. Again, using the same example, 1960 average boomer vs 1975 average Gen X, their 2010 and 2025 (50 year old accumulation) is higher for Gen X. At all points at roughly the same age, Gen X is ahead of Boomers in the same age gap
@VladTheInflator All this graph says is old people have had more time to amass wealth.
If average boomer is born 1960, and average Millennial is born 1990, the amount of wealth accrued in 1995 and 2025 respectively by each band is about the same.
So yes, the Millennials will eventually buy it.
@bfryereplyguy@katewillett (unless of course its found he didn't intend to send some sort of message to influence government policy... which seems unlikely given his "manifesto")
@bfryereplyguy@katewillett No one answers this coherently because it definitionally is. It might be a "lesser form" of terrorism compared to what people normally would associate terrorism with in New York, but it 100% was a terroristic act.
@theserfstv Lance once again proving you can be a semi-notable streamer while being functionally illiterate. If the situation were completely different the outcome would be different, shocking
@CAM08594808@EnbieFlorence@packerpoppa @ViolentQuiche1 @upper_reality@RJPD101@iAmKLP@TJayMiddle1@LegendOfWinning I hear what you're saying, but if 19% self-identify as Latino for census reasons why would only 10% self-identify for Latino for voting purposes... that disconnect doesn't make a lot of sense either. historically, 65% or so of voters were white, this election is a divergence
@packerpoppa @ViolentQuiche1 @upper_reality@RJPD101@iAmKLP@TJayMiddle1@LegendOfWinning Thank you for fighting the good fight that is statistics. Relative to population proportion even more clear, given 19% of America identifies as Latino, 14% Black and 61% White. Shows the big gaps in who showed up
@sherpa_tenzing@upper_reality@LegendOfWinning To clarify, 73% of the voting population was white vs 61% of the actual population. Yes eligibility and registration matters but that is a huge discrepancy at the scale of 300M person country. Again, no blame, just pointing out what this shows
@sherpa_tenzing@upper_reality@LegendOfWinning 2% of the US population is not incarcerated and black. This is a statistics comprehension problem. Black people were not even that outsized compared to Latinos. Nor am I even putting blame. But had other groups turned out proportionately the results clearly would have been better
@RandyPond@upper_reality@LegendOfWinning Look I was just explaining what it means. Not explaining the why. Clearly non-whites needed more initiative to turn out than they got.
@Silverback872 @Dubswrld00 @LegendOfWinning And also why they, proportionately, did not show up to vote. 10% of the voting population was black, relative to 14% of the total population. 10% of voters Latino relative to 19% of the total population. White people disproportionately showed up to vote and it shows in results
@upper_reality@LegendOfWinning 100% This shows that, proportionately, white people showed up to the polls while other races, particularly Latinos (10% of total vote relative to 19% of population!)... did not. Why is the big question, but it seems from numbers so far the right was more motivated.
@sherpa_tenzing@upper_reality@LegendOfWinning That means that they did not show up to vote in the same % to the population. (i.e. 14% for black, 19% for Latino)
This shows of all votes, 10% were black. You should expect 14%. Similar for Latino. White people disproportionately showed up to vote, while other races did not.
@StephenPiment@martyrmade His narrative implied that Churchill could have stopped the war in '39/'40 (before he was PM), that Germany dropped "leaflets", and that after the Fall of France the UK should have surrendered to let Germany fight the East instead of fighting/bombing back. 100% Nazi apologist.
