@lordbowlich @SteveRoth housing wealth appreciation, which is housing cost appreciation, is indeed a burden for us all!

but you are better off with an asset that has tracked housing price rises than those of us who have no such asset.

(that’s not any kind of criticism! i’m glad you have some insurance against housing price spikes.)

@Alon @SteveRoth i don’t think you are right. lower quartile labor income did well, increasing faster in % terms than higher quantiles (though not necessarily in dollar terms).

but those numbers far from >> comprehensive income in higher quartiles, including capital income and valuation changes (the latter i think is what you mean by wealth).

in any case, @SteveRoth has the best numbers on these questions.

@admitsWrongIfProven i agree. it’s time to renounce this getting older thing.

by the way this was not about anyone here not a subtoot or whatnot https://zirk.us/@interfluidity/112610135959415728

sometimes i notice myself disliking people then i dislike myself even more.

we could save a lot of time if we wrote a bot to automate our posting of complaints about AI slop.

@GuerillaOntologist I stand corrected.

Your feedback is very important.

a lot of us have these questions.

@csaltos how many are the stars in the sky? here is one from yesterday, but they are not infrequent. https://zirk.us/@interfluidity/112594630679863086

i get mad at apple a lot but elon musk’s ranting can’t help but rehabilitate them a bit to me.

@marick @franktaber@mas.to no. social media is a vent for political expression that serves as a tool for social control much more than a means of effective, persistent organizing, at least in my (admittedly not objective) view. blogs weren’t exactly an organizing tool, but they created a public open literature and shared conversation for people to organize around in a way i think both social media and the newslettersphere do not.

@marick @franktaber@mas.to that is how it ought to be. i’d prefer about 1000 per. https://www.interfluidity.com/v2/9069.html
