lowest unemployment in 50 years, but still no real wage growth i'm not even surprised i still maintain that a combination of obama-era monetary policy and trump-era deregulation/tax-cuts and consequent optimism is responsible for this current economic zeitgeist and that's not sustainable and overdue for a catastrophic correction --- ...

"living wage" aka "nice house, car, clothes, electronics, fine dining every night wage" to be fair a sensible living wage might actually manage to cover those kinds of things if the cost of domestic production wasn't obscenely inflated by heaps of red tape zoning inflates the value of housing - just look at the bay area clothes and electronics would be far cheaper if produced here at a similar price by virtue of the fact that it wouldn't need to be shipped from overseas manufacturers and all the expenses and complexities associated with that dining - and any kind of business that depends on having a physical presence like stores and factories - would be less expensive if restaurants didn't have to deal with property taxes, never mind the aforementioned red tape affecting costs along the entire supply chain --- ...

Sort of a trade off between having to pay for a kitchen and just being able to dine out (which was admittedly cheaper due to lower regulatory burdens on that end as well) --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. ...

the real beast is a saturated market for underskilled labor because education for skilled labor is both unnaturally inflated in price due to decades of indirect federal subsidization and because education for skilled labor doesn't actually prepare most for skilled labor imo its mostly attributable to a level of risk aversion that employers have with respect to labor costs which is itself probably attributable to market consolidation it's more profitable to keep wages low and prop up your stock prices through buybacks and whatever else than it is to actually compete or improve your business --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. ...

Really I'm glad our economy is continuing to get better and I feel that the people on the left who want it to get worse to stick it to Trump are wrong. Just like the people who pretend that it wasn't Obama who started the recovery and well keeping something going well is great but fixing a problem and setting us on track deserves credit too. Don't ignore Trump or Obama give both of them credit. That is something both sides fail to do.
