        Glad to see another optimist brave the haters, naysayers and cynics. Welcome home, Marc.

        The % of Americans living in poverty is almost exactly the same as in 1986, the first year on that chart (and middle of this chart), and the absolute number is 10 million higher. Shouldn’t the actual living conditions of real people be the part we care about?pic.twitter.com/eWwgITYqXP

        We are on an economic bender right now with unsustainable fiscal policies and deregulation. The hangover is inevitable, just like most of what recent GOP administration'ys have left behind. In the wake of the next one, automation is likely to sharply increase wealth disparity.

        Cool. "Mission Accomplished." Given the 1950s definition of poverty, $25k for a family of 4 breaks down that barrier of poverty. Unfortunately that's not regionally adjusted. So the Bay Area the struggle is real. #sarcasm #badanalysis #opinionsaremyown

        I think this stat is in large part an illusory effect resulting from inflation. For example, in parts of the bay area a six figure salary is now considered "low income":https://www.mercurynews.com/2017/04/22/in-costly-bay-area-even-six-figure-salaries-are-considered-low-income/ …

        Marc. You know this is utter nonsense, though you are egregiously rich, in a silicone bubble, which as a collective is ripping apart our country. We need you to fight with us. Poverty is at 40% right now. That a truth. Stoic Integrity I am.
