First and foremost, thanks everyone who commented on my inaugural post. I appreciate the warm welcome. And much food for thought.
A couple of people/robots/aliens brought up inequality and why talk about it. While I imagine it’s bad form to call out anybody directly by name, we do need a little anonymous snark to kick things off.
I mean, come on man…
![I stopped reading at wage inequity](https://www.theburningplatform.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/wage-inequity-comment-350x83.png)
This is a great Freudian slip – inequity tends to be the formal acadamese rather than the informal plain language. The reference was to wage inequality (which actually was in the piece), and we’ll treat it as meaning that moving forward. But first a little bit more snark: to get to that point, the commenter encountered the phrases “Occupy Wall Street” and “Social Security Administration” and kept going. Sounds like a closet commie to me. At any rate, a real American would have stopped after I said I was a tad younger and more liberal. Don’t worry about me, I’m not paid by the reader.
