Unfair Bullshit At Work

>Company is busier than ever because of the lockdown.
>Company offers employees the ability to take unpaid leave during the lockdown if they want to.
>Everyone on my team decides to keep working to get paid, except one girl in her 20's.
>Girl has really rich parents that spoil the shit out of her.
>Basically we can all go fuck ourselves while she's at home eating Devil Dog's because she's like 250 fucking pounds.
>Company won't even think of asking her to come back in or fire her because her dad's company works alongside ours on a lot of important stuff.
>tfw our company won't just hire a temporary scab worker to replace her to alleviate some of the work.

AFAIK the most intelligent people are libertarian. And don't liberals reject the IQ in favour of multiple intelligences? Which might in itself discredit them in certain regards in which conservative elements of behaviour could be more intelligent. If they so decide to add an "intelligence" to these conservative elements, instead of rejecting it for reasons of "we are superior" confirmation bias.

I'm "leftist," too, btw. But not in today's sense of the word with "feminist theory" and other kinds of nonsense running rampant that border literal idiocy. Reddit, and the ideals they represent today, are definitely not intelligent. I don't see how an intelligent person can support many facettes of today's "leftism." Because the idiots have literally taken over. The entire "left" with its bloated academia today needs a good, big purge and serious cleaning up.

So I learned and practiced, and boom, suddenly friends and raises and promotions.

Also torrent up a copy of "How to win friends and influence people" as a crash course in how not to be a sperg who pisses everyone off/creeps everyone out. Between those two things it's like finding the cheat code to life.

The weird thing is that when you hit that realization, being a sperg is actually an advantage when it comes to social skills, because unlike normals who just sort of float along never really thinking about anything at all, we can recognize the skills as skills, that can be levelled up, and then seek out the information we need to do that.

It takes time and practice to git gud at people, but it pays off almost literally every day of your life.

Succeeding in it FINANCIALLY, yeah, that's the argument we're having. To recap: I say data shows economic mobility is a meme, you respond with 'blah blah niggers blah blah IQ'. If intelligence were more correlated to financial success than luck, why isn't their more economic mobility in modern America? Stick to this line of reasoning or fuck off, it's like arguing with a disabled child

You lazy nigger, something like 15% of people are in the same tax bracket now as they were 10 years ago.

You're an economic incel

I explained it. Mass economic mobility is not predicted by anything I said. Based on everything I said you would expect only the rare non-retards to move upwards which is exactly what your data shows.

A lack of education keeps people retarded, being brought up by retards is one of the biggest predictors of retardation. If you somehow manage to escape the retardation you'll be fine. Like your data shows and like anyone who is not a retard can predict. You can actually make money on this fact like almost anything else because there will always be retards around to bet against you.

Assuming you're not lying on the internet, which I strongly suspect you are, you won't for long. You don't understand the basic concepts involved.

https://www.stlouisfed.org/publications/inside-the-vault/spring-2010/us-income-inequality-its-not-so-bad

>Supporting relatively high levels of intragenerational mobility, Thomas A. Garrett[38] reported on a US Treasury study of income mobility from 1996 to 2005. This found "There was considerable income mobility of individuals in the U.S. economy during the 1996 through 2005 period as over half of taxpayers moved to a different income quintile over this period"; 80 percent of taxpayers had incomes in quintiles as high or higher in 2005 than they did in 1996, and 45 percent of taxpayers not in the highest income quintile moved up at least one quintile.[39] Fewer than half (between 40–43%) "of those in the top 1 percent in 1996 were still in the top 1 percent in 2005. Only about 25 percent of the individuals in the top 1/100th percent in 1996 remained in the top 1/100th percent in 2005."

Krugman, continuing his reign as The Wrongest Man In Economics, tried to spin this as a negative

>Studies by the Urban Institute and the US Treasury have both found that about half of the families who start in either the top or the bottom quintile of the income distribution are still there after a decade, and that only 3 to 6 percent rise from bottom to top or fall from top to bottom.

That is a full 50% of both the richest and the poorest moving to different income brackets in 10 short years -- the two groups that should have the LEAST economic mobility if the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor.

They don't.

If you believe poor families have an identical amount of opportunities to take profitable risks without going broke as rich families, you're a privileged dipshit and I'm happy with that conclusion. Most wealth in modern America was inherited, you can accept that or you can't.

[Anonymous No.19255871]

>>19255589

And yet, retard, the actual numbers show the same percentage of the wealthiest families stay in their tax bracket from decade to decade as the poorest families, and the same percentage go from the bottom to the top (3-6%) as go from the top to the bottom

So, sorry your excuses for being lazy and poor aren't backed up by any actual facts, but them's the breaks

>Most wealth in modern America was inherited,

Wealthiest Americans:

1. Jeff Bezos (self-made, $147b)
2. Bill Gates (self-made $106b)
3. Mark Zuckerberg (self-made $85b)
4. Warren Buffett (self-made $68b)
5. Larry Ellison (self-made $66b)
6. Steve Ballmer (self-made $65b)

That's more than a half TRILLION dollars in self-made wealth, about as much as the rest of the top 10% put together. So even if EVERY SINGLE OTHER PERSON in the top 10% inherited 100% of their wealth, which they of course haven't, no, most wealth in America is not inherited.

Christ, Ellison was the son of a single mom who got knocked up by some Army pilot. Stay poor.

Yes but not because I inherited money. I inherited a superior white brain and was taught how to use it. I worked my way up from a situation that no delusional amerinigger would believe or could ever hope to deal with. How many 30 hour shifts of hard labor have you done in your life? Have you ever seen a man burn himself alive just to escape the wage cage?

You lazy nigger, my parents went bankrupt and lost the house when I was a kid, 10 years ago I was exactly the sort of lazy whining shit that you are, and today I can nearly put $250,000 on my credit card. Because I realized I was making excuses, and I started taking risks.

Weirdly, I have done 1 36, a 24 and a 20, hour shift, but hundreds of 12s.

Weird how working long hours at hard jobs seems to correlate to raising yourself out of poverty, almost like it causes one to become part of a select few

I must've inherited those hours!

You're supplanting logic with propaganda about things like "privilege". The entrenched patterns that for example help keep niggers from thriving affect the flawed stats you tried to use to convince me that understanding the world isn't the most important factor to predict if you're able to extract money out of it.
I doubt you ever used logic in your life. Most of the time people just repeat conditioned patterns and learn to label certain patterns as logical. That's what you do when you invoke propaganda memes like "privilege".
