I thought about starting to talk to myself, but I was afraid of what I might say.

maybe add an option that goes along the lines of "reducing government involvemen/regulationt in the market"
replied 1558d
I should have put an other catch-all option for people to add their own solutions.
replied 1558d
That is also a option.

50% will always earn below the median by definition. Otherwise everyone should earn the exact same income.

Dang nab it! I was baiting the economic geniuses on here to make fools of themselves. I was hoping my snarky poll options would make that obvious to those in the know. 😊

"...everyone should earn the exact same income."

I think you found the actual solution to the "problem" then. I should have made that an option on the poll.
replied 1558d
Wait a minute... median income? I doubt 10% make that much if you go by the median.

I thought you were in on it with your tautology comment, then you said this.
replied 1558d
Nothing can be done about it. This will always be true since it is a tautology.

At first glance it looks like "studies show 50%of people are bellow average."
Rethinking it later I realised that the median dollar amount between the highest and lowest isn't the same

Then again people often confuse the richest person by value with highest income. I think Elon makes minimum wage, but his stocks are worth a lot.

Just stoned thinking.

Any option involving government helping the people would end up making it worse. We have been mismanaged by tyrants and morons for too long.

Minarchy or Tribal Commune rule.
