Thats how averages work, unlike eg maximums.

But Im sure reversing that chart would correlate with math test scores.

TIL not everywhere companies are required to report shareholders (unless they are quoted on stock exchanges, in which case it’s the central authority there who has the register).

Yes, while I know how much western CEO get payed, they are still workers, guard dogs.

But naming CEOs without naming shareholders as the actual ruling class really just further serves maintaining the status quo.

I was expecting an ass-moon(ing) joke. It wasn’t there. So not a joke guide.

… tho they don’t specify with what is the astronaut waving at you …

Hm, so roughly corresponding to middle class purchasing power with Norway (and Finland a bit) being the outliers?

This yeets the lamb.

I can’t/won’t read runes.

Everything after 430 Ma ago was a mistake. We need to go back.

Yeah, if I did the work (a full minute :)) & someone else can benefit from it too it just means less net work was expended.

Also clip shows should only contain clips that never aired before, or completely new ones (like IASIP).

The first two sub-6.0 episodes are clip shows.

wiki S06E03:

“Another Simpsons Clip Show” is the third episode of the sixth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on September 25, 1994. In the episode, Marge reads a romance novel in bed, and it prompts her to have a family meeting, where the Simpson family recall their past loves in form of clips from previous episodes.

wiki S09E11:

“All Singing, All Dancing” is the eleventh episode of the ninth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on January 4, 1998. In the fourth Simpsons clip show, Homer claims he hates singing, so Marge shows family videos of musical numbers from previous seasons. The episode is in the form of a sung-through musical, featuring spoken dialogue only at the start and end of the episode. The original material was directed by Mark Ervin and written by Steve O’Donnell. It was executive produced by David Mirkin. It features guest appearances from George Harrison, Patrick Stewart and Phil Hartman, although these are all clips and none of them recorded original material for the episode.

The last few seasons had a big jump in plot quality imho, with some exceptional episodes. But also yes, 10 years ago entire seasons felt comparatively bland & empty. I also feel like I would rate early seasons a bit lower today than at the time.

The lives of the many for the good of the few.

Shame there aren’t billions in real estate profits that could be used to attract workers with higher wages.

There isn’t a labour shortage, there are more people working than ever, there is a demand shortage - the same demand that is saying the supply is the problem.

If you want to get workers you have to pay them competitively (in relation to what other companies are offering). I work in an office but if someone offers me twice the salary I would go in construction.

Saying there is a shortage of labour is like going to the store full of bread, demanding to buy the bread at 10% the asking price & when they won’t sell it to you at that price complain there is a huge bread shortage … as you stand in the middle of a huge stock of bread (and with enough money in your pocket to easily afford the asking price).

It’s just propaganda to not pay workers more & keep profits up. There is no labour shortage.

And, you know, while at it, why not built as green as possible? That def means no suburbs, that much land & roads, and building techniques that aren’t meant to last just some decades?

We aren’t living in the sci-fi society of tomorrow because we keep building stuff from a century ago.
