There ' s nothing intrinsically disgusting about it . That ' s just your interpretation really . <| sep |> He ' s being honest . Most would literally say the same about rpolit . TBH he probably , like most , thinks we all hate any one south of the border and we are all white nationalists . We aren ' t . I ' m a latino libertarian for instance . <| sep |> Oh yeah I forgot Verizon gives me that . Thank you for the reminder ! <| sep |> It is bugged right now and will only apply skins to brand new cars . <| sep |> I know right ? So much hair on that dude ! <| sep |> This methodology is flawed because it splits the general populace into equally sized quintiles . Why is this a problem ? Because income and wealth across a population tends to follow a longtail model . . To give an example let ' s say the cutoff point between quintiles 1 and 2 buttom 2 quintiles is a 10 Kyr salary . If your dad makes 9 . 99 K and you make 10 K , congrats you ' ve technically accomplished upwards social mobility by moving up 1 quintile . Then , let ' s say the cutoff point between quintiles 2 and 3 is a 15 Kyr . If you make 15 K , then you ' ve jumped 2 quintiles ! And if you make 30 K , then wow you ' ve jumped 3 ! However , let ' s say your dad makes 50 K just barely putting you in the top quintile . If you make 60 K , you ' ve technically accomplished no upwards social mobility . Same if you make 70 K , or 100 K , or 200 K , or 500 K , etc . The methodology says that by virtue of being born to middle to upper middle class parents , you have already peaked . That means its measure of social mobility is completely dominated by movement between the lower and middle class and to a lesser extent between the middle class and the lower upper class . In the US , the chances of an upper middle class person becoming very rich and successful is actually relatively high . This is not so much the case in most of Europe there ' s still a lot of ' old money '. This is made evident by the fact that in countries like Austria and Sweden , nearly half of all the rich people are primarily inheritors of their wealth . The US and UK stand out as the only western nations where the vast majority of rich people can actually be described as self made .
