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

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.

90% of age gaps don’t matter when you’re a grown adult as long as you don’t have a repeated pattern of dating people barely legal. I would date someone 30 years older than me if I liked them who gaf

This entire conversation is somehow 90% people infantilizing themselves and 10% actually people talking about the issue of men who never grow out of dating 18/19 year olds. No it is not a big deal when a 25 year old dates a 35 year old please get a grip

junglejim4322

Honestly if you’re in your mid twenties infantilizing yourself on this level maybe you shouldn’t be dating anyone

Free! Series ORCHESTRA CONCERT 2026

―Beyond the New Journey―　in TOKYO

夜の公演に参加しました。演奏、歌声、映像も大変すばらしかったです。

夜の公演内ボイスは遙＆凛でした。内容としては、競泳選手として励む2人の近況と未来への目標についての語り合いです。

～うろ覚えの内容～

凛「最近新記録を出しただろ」

遙は新記録を達成し成果を上げ続ける一方、凛はなかなか結果が追い付かず遙を尊敬すると同時にちょっと悔しい状況の様子。遙にはまだ敵わないが必ず追い抜いて見せる、結果を出すと改めて決意していた。

遙「凛と一緒に泳ぐと熱くなれる。そんな凛の泳ぎに俺は救われた。」

遙「凛もできる（成果を出せる）」

己の実力不足を嘆く凛に、凛には凛の才能があり、努力しているのだから必ず結果に繋がると励ます遙。

凛「最近泳ぎが変わったよな？」

遙「そうか？水は～(抽象的な説明)」

凛「え～っとつまり…何かを掴んだって感じか？」

遙の泳ぎの変化に気付いた凛、その事を問うと抽象的な答えが返ってくる。凛はその答えに少し悩んで"何かを掴んだ"ということだろうかと解釈する。

凛「見たことない景色、また見ようぜ」

遙「何度でも見よう」

互いの近況や変化などを語った後、この先も共に競泳の道で"見たことのない景色を何度でも見よう"と新たな目標を掲げる遙と凛。ここでお終い。

大雑把ですがこのような内容でした。

Sokka constantly joke-flirting with Zuko has consequences. He does not mind them.

If you're a new writer and you're asking yourself "is this too personal, is this too much, will people think this is weird" that feeling is the exact location of your actual voice. The stuff that makes you want to close the laptop is the stuff nobody else could write. The safe version is always worse. Always. I have never once read something and thought "this would have been better if it was a little less honest." go further. It's always go further.

my favorite genre of fictional character is like "i am terrifying to almost everyone, i'm very good at killing, i can endure anything, i've become exceptionally good at playing into my reputation, and if you try to give me positive social interaction i will react with confusion and cower in a corner like an abused animal. and i may try to shoot you. but there is also a chance i may imprint on you like a feral dog receiving its first loving touch! good luck."
