You forgot one of the best part of the Arc my friend Chopper ' s BeamfRMbvbz 18 M <| sep |> No they dont <| sep |> Hey it ' s me ur brother . I heard it ' s a leak to a new colab <| sep |> this is one of the monks at the temple of the Bailey <| sep |> I addressed the US and other developed countries . To summarize , I made two points 1 . while wage growth has slowed , it has not slowed as much as people believe . The statistics often shared on wage growth give an inaccurate picture of the situation . 2 . the best explanation for why wage growth has slowed in the West is that social welfare spending has dramatically increased . I ' ll post that part of comment againAnd labour compensation is growing much more quickly in the US than popularly understood . Wage statistics hide this fact because they do not include the nonwage component of compensation , which has been growing faster than the wage component w o r k e r c o m p e n sationtrackedproductivity 986 . htmlIt has slowed of course , and the reason for that is most likely in my opinion the destructive effect on economic development of the rise of social welfare spending . Social welfare spending has increased 4 . 8 % per year since 1972 . Welfare spending has increased 4 . 1 % per year . This is AFTER adjusting for inflation . This signifies a massive shift to economydestroying socialism . This era of expanding social democracy has coincided with slowing productivity growth in the US s o u r c e s r ealwagestagnationbosworth
