"The Great Decoupling" chart from
@erikbryn and
@davidautor
Labor productivity has kept increasing.
Real GDP per capita has kept improving.
But median family income has stagnated since the 1980s (with an exception under Clinton/Gore).
The Republican Party has repeatedly screwed the American people since Reagan.
The only way it can stay in power now is by destroying democracy.
Which is exactly what it's trying to do.
