“It’s a veiled aristocracy-but it is an aristocracy none the less.” Marianne Williamson

Bwtn 2018&2019, US median hh income grew by 6.8%, unseen for more than a half century. Black hh income grew faster than everybody but Asians. White hh income grew the slowest. It didn't appear Trump has helped the whites.

If this continues for another four years ... we will be in big trouble!

@JoeBiden here is some fuel for that debate. @Thom_Hartmann @FastCompany is speaking your language!

YES I AGREE.. But the REAL REAL SHOCKER is here: That wealth transfer was NOT based on meritocracy. Here is the proof, the math doesn’t lie, the policy implications are obvious. I believe that this is the other bookend to the Rand Study. Do you agree? worldscientific.com/doi/pdf/…

“It explains almost everything. It explains why people are so pissed off. It explains why they are so economically precarious.” Yeah. It does!

I wonder if they’d be shocked that millions of people aren’t shocked at all because they’re living the negative results.

I think the title was meant to convey that the researchers, already critical of the wealth inequality and knew it would be bad were still surprised at just how bad it actually was. I think that was the implication. Still a bad title, though.
