This annoys the hell out of me. What they mean is, that the windfall to the world of the end of communism; the windfall to the world of automating clerical work by computers; the windfall to the world by the development of the internet; gave us insane rewards from the late 80’s to the 2001 Crash which reset to normal. But that they dumped money into the economy creating the overexpansion of the housing market, which then led to that correction (crash). Meaning that we are back to the trend of the 1980’s.
I don’t know how smart you have to be to grok that american’s have been the beneficiaries of numerous windfalls that the rest of the world has not: the conquest of a new continent; the Louisiana Purchase and the western Expansion; the immigration of hordes of the underclasses into those territories; the introduction of fiat currency to finance those immigrants; the crash that followed; the world wars that followed leaving the USA as inheritor of the British Empire; Leaving the US worker the only industrial labor left with production capital intact. This ‘jolly’ led to the social activism of the 1960’s which sought to imitate the soviet union and destroyed most of industrial america. The consequential export of work to other countries free of non-market labor; the use of petrodollars under nixon to defeat the Soviets and the Chinese and World communism, and expanded moreso by Regan to complete that defeat. The use of that military technology to produce computer revolution; and the creation of vast changes in our economy due to technology. At present we are going through another vast change due to amazon, google, and facebook altering the commercial sector dramatically – and the world is catching up eliminating our military advantage, our petro-dollar, our technological advantages. The only advantage we had left was demographic and normative – and the left is destroying that too.
So when someone says, that we have lost income growth it’s empirically true but logically false. Why? Because we had windfalls from heaven one after another. And the world is returning to the status quo. Except there are 10x as many of us.
—“The slow early-2000s recovery and expansion, combined with the damage done by the Great Recession, has led to nearly two decades of lost income growth for typical American households,” says economist Elise Gould of the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute.”—

There are certain Genies that can’t be rebottled(magics), certain Pandoras that cannot be re-boxed(evils), certain events than cannot be undone(accidents), and certain technologies that cannot be unmade(inventions), and much knowledge that cannot be un-known.
(a) patterns of sustainable specialization and trade adapt faster and faster with greater divisions of labor and knowledge, and there is no evidence that this will cease.
(b) women are more adaptable to social circumstances. Men are specialists and less adaptable to social circumstances. There is no evidence that this will (or can) cease.
(c) women have longer working lives in those circumstances. Men have shorter working lives in most circumstances. Men absorb and accumulate cellular damage on behalf of women and children both because of direct the effects of testosterone and the consequences of their drives *caused* by it. There is no evidence that this will or can end.
(d) Men have invented the end of physical labor. Men will soon invent the end of warfare labor. And soon after invent the end of calculative labor.
(e) The only labor that will remain will be service – with very low returns; organizing people – with low returns, sales – with slightly higher returns; and organization of network; and organizing networks of people to take risks – with higher returns.
(f) women are superior in the workplace at all but the high risk innovation of higher returns.
(g) there is little evidence that two thirds of men are necessary in the work force, or even desirable mates for women. There is evidence that women require or desire the financial support of men *if it means the cost of caring for them.*
(h) A surplus of men always leads to civil war. A shortage of men always leads to conquest. The west is being conquered at present.
(i) Vast numbers of men have left the workforce. With a minimum survivable wage, far more men will leave the work force. Other than men’s higher food requirements, men are far less costly to maintain than women. With men leaving the workforce more women will enter it. Albeit in work with decreasing returns.
I can see various equilibrations playing out. But in the end, I see basically this: wome return to the clerical equivalent of doing all work in the agrarian era. A few men have access to most of the women and wealth. And the vast majority of other men laze around a lot and enjoy life, and do nothing other than prevent encroachment upon their ‘herd’ of working women.
* the principal means of preventing revolt at present is income requirements. *

THE UNCERTAIN FUTURE (a) War is certain simply because it is always certain. (b)
THE UNCERTAIN FUTURE
(a) War is certain simply because it is always certain. (b) Plague is certain because it is always certain. (d) economic Malthusian limits are certain because they are always certain – it’s just demographics; (c) Resource exhaustion is certain because Malthusian limits to the earth are always certain.
The question is only whether we make civil war certain so that we CHOOSE the war rather than are victims of war, plague, economic exhaustion, and resource exhaustion.
The hypothesis that we have defeated Methuselah is very hard to stand behind. The question is whether we choose to control and survive those certainties or choose to be the victim of them.
There exist no theories without limits other than the certainty that all theories (general rules of limited precision) have limits. Dark ages are a regular occurrence. Civilizational collapse is a regular occurrence. The reasons are always the same: technological innovation followed by mass migration, causing information, incentive, and organizational collapse within the civil orders.
We always choose our destiny. We choose to pay for the one we want, or we choose not to and get what we deserve.

REVOLUTION COMES
—-“Seriously, this is all out of Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals.” Go back and review the Glenn Beck programs of 2012-2014…when he presented some very good information on the Weather Underground (particularly Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers), as well as Cloward and Piven, and all the “outstanding” work by Van Jones to topple the system. I’m not a personal fan of Beck’s, but back then he used to have very comprehensive layouts that were easily referenced and noted that concerned these Marxists and Communists marching under the banner and guise of “social justice.” All that stuff that Van Jones had planned back then, with funding from Acorn and George Soros…it is manifesting itself here and now.
There is a civil war coming, as it is the domestic initiative that must be pursued to bring the United States down to the canvas…rendering her ineffective when the foreign initiative…an attack comes…to give the final count. In both battles, nobody will be able to retreat to a neutral corner. If the U.S. stays intact, then the NWO loses, and vice-versa. These protestors (paid and genuine) are but a sampling of the platter to be served…a buffet right out of Pandora’s box.”—–
