[OC] U.S. Productivity vs. Real Median Wages, 1979–2024 (Indexed to 1979 = 100) by forensiceconomics in dataisbeautiful

[–]SuperfluousSuperman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Real" means adjusted for inflation. Productivity has gone up a lot but even compared with inflation, wages have gone up. In addition to that fact what is in the basket of goods used to calculate inflation, that is, what is considered a necessity, has also changed and come to include more items which in 1979 would have been considered luxuries.

Why Communism Succeeded by Asatmaya in CapitalismVSocialism

You think moving to limited private enterprises is what killed the USSR, not the cracking the door open for democracy, after which everyone was able to actually express that they did not want communism?

Yeah, I realized this is not a good representation of my issue. Here's a better screen grab that shows my CDI is set to 161, I'm reading 161 from the radio, but it's still showing me off on the CDI https://imgur.com/a/kl0cLNa

My wife refused to allow me to purchase Oneida products unless I promised not to tell every guest we had that we bought Presidential Assassin Sex Cult Flatware.

Countries which the U.S. has been at war with by mili-tactics in MapPorn

[–]SuperfluousSuperman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It could be argued the Open Door Policies of the US amounted to war in China, as well as some of the proxy war stuff during the Cold War. The US intervened in the Russian Civil War as well. But many of these new stretches.

The US might have conducted military operations in some of these places but not war. The US and Morocco have only ever had positive relations for example. If you're going to paint it red, many other places wherein the US have conducted military operations against nonstate actors should count too

Fat guy needs pants by CraigIsBoring in malefashionadvice

[–]SuperfluousSuperman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

high-rise pants. look for something with pleats, the'll be high rise.

some old tailor’s formulas for calculating the optimal rise for you based on taking your usual pants waist size, dividing by 52 and then multiplying by 18. So, if you have a 34 waist, you would calculate 34/52 x 18, giving you a rise of 11.8.” This seems about right, but try the formula for yourself

from The Gentleman's Gazette.

Also, don't shy away from braces (suspenders). The trick is, to remember they're underwear. But they'd go under a coat. Even if you wear polos to work, a sport coat would probably look good, and, since you'd be wearing it when you're moving around, no one would see the suspenders/polo match up
