What is no money?

The average income for the bottom 66% (2/3rd) of income earners in US was $19,512. Read that again - not welfare, not unemployed, not sit around the house in your underwear, but income earners.

60 million people are making that as a median.

Since that is around $16/hr (many are involuntary part-timers) people are saying that is good pay.

And they are out taking shit, lifting boxes, making coffee, collating spreadsheets, getting performance reviews, hoping against hope that someday they'll be made full time.

If you are sitting on your ass in front of a screen typing sardonic replies and looking at pretty girls, you are doing better than them.

Is there less money? Clearly, to hear everyone tell it. Same as tech, same as real estate, same as bond sales, shit moves on. This isn't the space where a lucky dumbass will be a millionaire tomorrow. BTW, if anyone knows what the new space is, tell me. I have a ... friend who wants to be a lucky dumbass.
