        50% is a key threshold, and explains a lot of the disillusionment and anger in the country

        .@HRAskMe.@Atul_Gawande @lisafieldsms If born 1940, would have had to have been total screwup not to have earned more than your parents.

        .@Atul_Gawande @lisafieldsms @nytimes Big issue, but 1940 is a ridiculous starting point. We were still fully mired in the Great Depression.

        Myth: bootstraps. Fact: the rise of inequality damaged the #AmericanDream more than the growth slowdown. Fact: I love data.

        Does the study account for changes in family structure? Changes in starting income level? Changes in std of living?

        Better: Not just compare later to Depressn-era parents. Do chances by quintile of parents. Rich fams don't need to do better.
