How about putting some error bars (sample standard deviation) in the graphs too (if it doesn’t make it look too crowded)? That way we’d have an idea of the spread. I imagine that the top 1% plot would have substancial error bars, but I’m not sure “how big” is that substance.

My post last night relates to this:

Just few quotations from the words of the ppl who managed to survive the ’30s: “I was going home from a kinder-garden, and i saw a guy dying from starvation. I came closer.
Then a cart was passing by, and a man jumped from the cart and came to us: “Hey, this one is still alive”
Another man on the cart replied: “It’s stupid to ran the cart back again, take the shovel”
He took the shovel and killed the guy:”And what about this one he said, pointing at me”
- “No, they won’t give 500 grams of bread for this one, let’s go”

Another comment from the guys who were doing raids and confiscating wheat:”There’re a lot of ppl dying, but while these bastard die from hunger, they still manage to hide wheat for seeding next season, so we managed to find it and confiscate it. These bastards even eat their kids, in one house there was a woman with loose hair, she was finishing eating a kid.”

If you think it’s a stupid joke, brush up the your history and see these things ARE real.

There’s no vaccine from aids but ppl must be aware of HIV. The same applies to wealthy 1%. There’s no way a democratic country can exits, but it’s more dangerous to think you live in a democratic country than to know the truth.

Therefore even if it’s not you who make the decision if oil business worth blowing up 2 skyscrapers, it’s still your right to have your own opinion about what happens.

Stop watching stupid discovery show “The colony” where ppl tell you their problem was they had no water in the bathroom. It’s #O489HAKJDHF !!! Believe me, ppl in Ukraine in ’30 didn’t care about water in the bathroom, and neither ppl in Palestine do today. You real problem gonna be how to survive, how to save yourself from being eaten, how to overcame fastidiousness to cannibalism…

Let’s say you work 40 hours per week and make 10 apples. Boss pays you $1 per an apple.
I work 40 hours per week and make 10 bananas. Boss pays me $1 per each banana.

So we get your $10 and buy apples and bananas. But with development of technology we start to produce 15 apples and 15 bananas per week. So bosses pay each of us $15. You are planning on buying more bananas, i’m planning to work not 5 but 4 days a week.

And then crisis comes. Bosses tell us that nobody wants to buy our apples and bananas, so they can’t pay us $1 per an apple or a banana, but they can pay 70 cents or fire some ppl from the factory. So we say:”Ok, I don’t want to be fired, i’d rather continue to work for $10 per week.” So, we continue working for $10 per week and in a while bosses tells us that we need to produce 20 apples/bananas and he’ll pay us 20*0.70=$14. We make more apples/bananas waiting for a new crisis….

Therefore you’ll never get more bananas, and I won’t have a chance to work less then 40 hours per week, probably my kids will have to work even 50, or will have the right to retire at 100 years. Because average life span is 70 years, and bosses don’t want to pay pensions. (in Ukraine 55 years for men, and 65 for women, and government wants to allow retirement after 65 years, cool ?! )

Actually in reality it’s little bit more complicated, because there’s inflation, that makes you believe that you make more money. You used to earn $1000, and now you make $1100, so boss can tell you: “You see, you got a raise, you get more, you have to work harder, or i’ll replace you by a machine/robot”. And at the same time you have to pay 1,5 times more for the same things you used to buy when you had $1000.

So, do you really believe in all these crisises, made just to allow these guys to fire ppl, they have managed to replace by robots or power tools. Even if you’re not fired you produce more but get the same money or even less.

Same thing in Ukraine. In 90s an electric car was produced by AutoZaz but it have never been released and most of the ppl even don’t know about it.

Others who managed made electric cars by themselves can not certify and register them (Authorities comment:” You see, there’s no procedure defined how to register such cars”). If one compares the prices, it’s easy to understand that if running on an electric car costs up to 3% of the money you pay for gasoline, somebody would loose 97% of their profits.

Furthermore, many particularly conservative rich families still put pressure on their women not to work outside the home. One of my cousins by marriage was on the verge of wedding a guy whose hyper-rich Fundie parents wanted her to give up her job and just be this pretty blond ornament that popped out genetically-approved grandkids for them to spoil. She broke off the engagement.
