on Laura Inghram earlier tonight. I'm sure there will be a video of it.

But if I recall correctly, he stated that income is up 4 %, while inflation is up 32 %.





Yet, I don't see this talked about hardly anywhere, especially not on the mainstream media. I know the answer as to why, but the real question is ... are many Americans too stupid to actually realize this?

#1 people do realize inflation has gone up more than their salaries

#2 that guy is a clown, can’t you find someone more reputable

He’s an a-hole on Shark Tank, but are y’all arguing that he’s an idiot business-wise and doesn’t have the pedigree to talk about this stuff?

Over what time frame is he making this claim? If you haven't got more than a 4% pay increase in the last few years you're probably lucky to be employed at all or the biggest moron ever.

I think this is the icing on the cake. Outsourcing, offshoring, and importing, and AI, putting a lot of pressure on the job market.

O'Leary is a democrat Obama voter by the way.

Those things can be mutually exclusive. You can be a great business man and say really stupid shite

I remember him going big on Ailbaba. He’s lost 20% in the last year, while the market is killing it

It's terrifying to me. We're about to be slaves to our own creation. If Jesus hasn't come back already, just tells me shits about to get a lot worse.
