The travesty is that a majority could double their economic power, at least (the equivalent of 80k median... though currency would probably adjust given a shift like that).How Much Americans Make
Median income only tells you where the middle is. The distributions of income are a lot more interesting.flowingdata.com
Wow, this is worse than I thought, median income just slightly over $40K, only 2% make over $300K, which likely means your average guru/coach who claims he's a millionaire is likely full of shit.
I talk to a lot of people, and the most mystifying thing to most is that they're allowed to try out an idea, allowed to offer services on their own instead of looking for jobs, allowed to mess up, fix the problem, and make something better and better over time.
Things are just the way they are, this is how it's done, "it is what it is"... Millions of people believe they're constrained by rules or physical principals that don't even exist outside of their own misconceptions. Their friends and families reinforce these false truths daily. They take on less useful, less appreciated work in jobs for cartoonishly stupid managers who are also working off of false principles. They think their lives are dictated by external circumstance, so they never push through that internal resistance, wasting nearly infinite potential. The fact that so many people have been demoralized into this low-agency state is really frustrating if you start thinking about it.
