I thought this was interesting. At least more interesting than deciding which names everybody should call each other.

Quote:
Wages have hit an all time low as a percent of the economy.
This means that a record-low percentage of the vast wealth these companies have is being shared with the people who help earn it. Another result is that companies are now scrimping on capital investments, which have also dropped sharply as a percent of the economy. (See chart).
Both of these efficiency initiatives help "maximize profit," at least in the near term.
But they hurt the economy.
