i wonder how fast things would change if the rest of them actually advertised that they are looking for a job rather than just reveled in the hippie stinkfest.

Considering I've been applying to various positions for the last year-and-a-half, and have only gotten part-time jobs at minimum wage so far, probably not many.
Good that you're apparently doing well enough though, Pink.

Didn't read that part of it. Haven't been able to get a hold of too many managers/bosses yet. The grunts are pretty damn good at fending me off and throwing applications at me.

Did you secure a doctorate in biochemistry first as well? It seemed to work for that lady in the article.

Unless you are retarded AND living in seclusion, the quality of life (an actual tangible issue) of America's poor is great. Get some perspective: we are a nation of kings in the land of opportunity.

And on top of that, not only is the importance of income inequality being exaggerated but the inequality itself is also exaggerated.

... honorable mention: the top income brackets pay a disproportionately large share of the tax burden according to the amount of wealth they own, while the lower income brackets (45th percentile) have no net tax liability, and brackets lower than that percentile are tax *consumers* rather than tax payers.
