    The one where you get paid to say shit like that. Seriously, fuckin dude thinks wages have actually increased proportionally with productivity over the last 40 years and linked a Larry fuckin' Summers paper lol. And even in that paper they claim wages haven't increased with productivity by blaming "external factors" or whatever it was, he didn't even really read it. But he gets paid to say shit like that from his libertarian think tank. I guess if you just count CEO's wages going up, it's basically the same thing lmfaoo

      So much of modern economic journalism is justifiably attributed imposter syndrome.
