Here's a source for the analysis, but it probably is not the source.

Labor share of income hits record low as corporate profits soar

Workers’ share of US economic output has fallen to its lowest level since the government began keeping records in 1947, according to data th

Some points of interest:

Corporate profits are soaring. After taxes, they now take 12.3 percent of national output, far above their postwar average of 7.3 percent.

Adjusted for inflation, hourly wages have risen 3 percent since the end of 2019, Ip noted. Corporate profits over the same period have risen 50 percent.

The Economic Policy Institute calculates that since 1979 the productivity of American workers has grown 90 percent while the pay of the typical worker has grown 33 percent. Had wages tracked output, the average worker would earn $16.40 more an hour today.

The profits are concentrated among the largest corporations. Earnings at the 500 biggest US firms rose 28 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier, the fastest pace since 2021, and their profit margins reached 14.8 percent. The seven technology giants known as the “Magnificent 7”—Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Tesla—grew their profits 63 percent.

In the United States, the richest 1 percent of households hold 31.7 percent of all wealth. The bottom half hold barely 2.5 percent.

Look, it's simple. If a person has to actively work to make money, they're not "the rich" and they're not the problem. A surgeon making $200k a year still stops making money if they stop showing up to do surgery, because they're still selling their labor. The radical discrepancies in how we value different skills are certainly a problem, but the guy who makes money when he doesn't even get out of bed is the one making money on the value of other people's labor.

It's been said before by smarter people that Project Hail Mary (the movie in particular) doesn't have a villain, not even the astrophage, which is just an organism that evolved to live a certain way.

Both elements that could be termed antagonistic, Eva Stratt and the astrophage, are shown at their most beautiful and emotionally affecting back to back, in the sequence going from "Sign of the Times" to "A Moment".

Eva sings and connects the sadness of their situation and the sacrifice of the astronauts to an element of hope and perseverance. Ryland is transfixed, happy, comforted.

The Petrova line at Adrian is so devastatingly beautiful to behold that Ryland spins to bask in it. The music swells as if in celebration. He is moved to have Rocky name the planet for love and devotion.

Both of these elements are beautiful. Their nature or position contains properties that make them dangerous. Eva will force Ryland on the mission. Astrophage is literally killing the Earth and and the fuel leak will almost kill Rocky and Grace.

But nevertheless, the movie insists, they are beautiful.

Astrophage provides the fuel that powers them. Eva's choice saves two planets down the line.

Nothing is simple. There are no villains here. There is pain. But there is also beauty. And if you keep going, life.

I love this observation. Such a beautiful movie.

The burning question: When she has her hands on either side of her face, right at the start, is this the moment she realized, “I’m gonna have to marry this guy” ?

There’s an episode of Sesame Street (on Netflix! you can watch it easily!) where Elmo attends a toy-swap, where you offer up old toys you don’t play with anymore and receive someone else’s toys that are new to you. Cute!

But Elmo, after cheerfully surrendering his old toys, sees that the children who swapped toys with him are playing with his toys “wrong”! They’re imagining entirely different make believe scenarios! They’re pretending the football is a dinosaur egg instead of a rocket ship! Aaahhhhh!!!! And this is so distressing to poor Elmo that he does the unthinkable: He does swapsies-backsies and takes all his toys back!

This being Sesame Street, he learns that you can’t control how other people play pretend, but you can join in if you want to! And if you don’t want to, that’s ok, you can just play pretend your own way by yourself or with someone else who wants to play that way too. You can still be friends with people who play pretend differently than you (and aren’t being mean/harmful/etc, do not bad-faith-read this 🤨).

Anyway this is a post about fandom.
