Exactly, you and I pay taxes even if we get fired and can't find a job while rich just get richer.

But the pie gets larger
Even though you make 1% less of the pie, the pie is 2% bigger (these are random numbers, but my point still stands, look at raw earning, not percent of all earnings)

If you count China, the number would be even higher

They cannot print infintitly there is a give and take, and you are correct the pie isn’t infinite. I agree that scarcity exists.

Here in Austria the green party has about 9% of votes. The right (ÖVP) and far right (FPÖ) parties have 20 and 27% respectively. Both parties barely admit that human made climate change is a thing and something should be done about it.

Lol easily? Most people agree that climate change is an issue and want to deal with it. The system won't allow candidates who want to make a change

What does a good gift mean?
I don’t think I put as much thought as my parents at all. But I make more than them so my gifts can sometimes be absurd displays of cash. Who is go say which is better? The sentimental one or the expensive useful one

Help to get ranked choice voting adopted in your locality.
That way voting for other candidates isn't "throwing away" a vote.

The chart literally covers your concerns on the bottom. On the top it covers those who prefer volume. I made it for both groups. However, although I’m a per-game guy, the NFL recognizes volume records regardless of games played. This is tailored more for the official record because that is what matters, that’s what gets people in the Hall of Fame and remembered historically. There’s nothing in your argument I didn’t account for here.
You just got caught being inconsistent in your logic so you attack the chart. Just accept the L and move on, because you’re not bringing anything to light I didn’t account for. And your comment on Johnson was il-informed as he wouldn’t meet your criteria either.

Reply to comment by jnemesh in [OC] 5 of the top 15 employers in the world are military entities. The largest non-military employer is Amazon with over 2 million employees worldwide - that's just over the population of Slovenia by giteam
Here's a trick - Russian Army has 1.9M of "employees". And employee is a person who gets paid. So 1.9 = office staff + more or less professional soldiers who signed the contract + officers and so on. And besides of that there's a regular army staff - these who are not getting any money, but they just HAVE to spend a year there. For free. It's not a job, or privilege, it's a duty to waste there a year of their lives.
So basically the numbers are bigger, even if we take into account these 100k left somewhere in Ukraine.

Yeah? What happens when they do that?

However you slice it, the pie isn't infinite.

- Countries do print money
- Wealth is not just money. The size of the pie shrinks and grows.

> while those in the bottom 90% saw their real earnings fall 0.2% between 2020 and 2021.
This sounds like an artifact of low-wage workers coming back to work after losing the extended unemployment benefits and pulling down the average.

-28 is my rating. I’m the worst at gift giving which only makes my anxiety even worse. I hate the holidays.

Attack? Wow. I was only pointing out the discrepancy between a 17 game and 16 game record. You're reading way too much into my words.
