BREAKING: 🇺🇸 American wages have fallen to 43% of national income, the lowest since the Great Depression.
For every $1 the US economy produces, workers are getting less of it than at any point since 1929.
The rest is going to corporate profits, which are now at an all time high.
This is why the economy keeps growing but most Americans feel poorer. GDP goes up, wages go up in dollar terms, but workers are getting a smaller and smaller slice of what they actually produce.
Asset prices keep rising for the same reason.
Money that used to go to wages is now going to shareholders instead, and shareholders put it into stocks, real estate and other assets.

@EvolutionGlobe@sw_holocron Sigh, they did. The problem was that it was totally incoherent and just pandering to fans of the original trilogy. Also, the stories weren’t interesting enough. It was basically copy and paste from the old films

Lol fuuuuuuck off. As a gamer I'm devastated. Devastated that we consumers are forced into an all digital future. Devastated that there is IN GAME CONTENT paywalled behind a $100 deluxe edition. Devastated that these devs are so incompetent that games like this suffer multiple delays. But mostly? I'm devastated that gamers are such fucking pussies, cowards, and corporate bootlickers they eat this shit up, cry over companies that don't give a fuck about them, just see them as piggy banks and dollar signs, and that they've all been gas lit into thinking this is the direction the hobby should be going.
Fuck you Rockstar, and fuck you gamers for allowing it to get this far.
