Yeah and those are national statistics.
You don't hit the top 10% in New York state until you break 330k

It is and while I don't think that was Eisenhower's 5d chess play it is more or less directly from cold war era policies that encouraged Americans to live anywhere besides a city.
They don't even have a different God, unless you're talking Mammon.
All Abrahamic religions have the same god. Allah = Yahweh = God.
The reason there isn't a revolution in the USA is mostly down to atomization. Suburban growth directly leads to insular communities with no sense of responsibility to the rest of their brothers and sisters. Working class families in the burbs have functionally 0 ability to organize.
To add that on, I like to underscore the gravity of the situation here with details:
- The top 10% of earners starts at ~170k/yr
- The top 1% start at ~820k/yr
- The top 0.1% start at ~3,300k/yr (3.3 million)
- If Elon Musk had 100% of his net worth in really basic bonds giving 5%/yr he'd be pulling in 22 BILLION dollars per year, forever.
The interest on his earnings alone is equivalent to 130,000 workers at the start of the top 10%. That's the entire workforce of American Airlines for comparison.
If the average person was paid like the 0.1% for 1 year they could retire and live off 65k/yr forever.
This chart is broken down by quintiles but it illustrates the disparity well imo.
Half of the wealth of the top 20% here (excluding top 1%) is in businesses or real estate they own. Most of that will be their own house and a small business, though ~~leeches~~ "landlords" mostly fall in this category too.
For the top 1% that's more like 20% of their net worth.
My theory on why he's doing that is since he sees it as inevitable he'd rather have it happen on his terms/under his control.
Tbh it sounds like the core one is a good choice here. Look at tinkering as something you use the printer to do and less as something to do to the printer itself.
I've got 2 prusas and while the XL has required a bit more work than my mk3s+ they both are excellent machines that I've run for thousands of hours with very little effort.
Welcome to the hobby! CAD modeling is the absolute best way to make your printer useful. A good pair of calipers are all you need to solve myriad issues around the house.
How are any electric car makers so unreliable. They're so mechanically simple.
How the hell do you fuck up so badly that you're the bottom of the list Rivian??
Nah there are too many left radicalizing videos on the platform for Trump to ever approve. (Ignore the overwhelming torrent of Trumpets and MAGAtts on the app - they don't matter to him)
Thiel has 2 real fears and he's been pretty consistently worrying about them.
- His own mortality terrifies him
- He's convinced that an apocalyptic end to the USA as we know it is coming any day now.
A proletariat uprising would be apocalyptic in his view AND he would undoubtedly get the Mao special if one happened.
There's 0 chance of one because Americans are way too divided but this killing is the biggest source of existential dread for him and he's probably been waking up with nightmares about it.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy
Sufficient horse trading I expect.
Last time was immediate and this time they've cajoled or bribed the PP leaders to get onboard.
Either that or the public unrest is bad enough that they've had their hands forced. Maybe some mix of the two.
My mid 20s were when I hit a major mental breaking point. If I hadn't had a good support network of friends close to me and family I could turn to...
26 is old enough to feel like you've lost everything and that nothing will ever be good again. He left a good career for his morals and lost all hope of employment from it.
It was also a significant amount of right wing agitprop opposing any reduction to fossil fuel usage...
