If the US slipped from #1 to #20 in HHI over a 30 year period people would be writing op ed columns every day comparing it to the fall of Rome.

It’s still like the 99.4th percentile so if there are 200 countries in the world it’d be like slipping from 1 to 1.

This is serious cope. Imagine if the country slipped from 1 to 20 in Trump’s term. Would you reason it all away with this percentile argument? Please be honest with yourself. By this rationale if Maryland schools slipped to 49/50 they’d still be good because compare to the rest of the jurisdictions in the world they’d be in the top 99%.

You don’t seem to understand basic math. Moving 49 places out of 50 is the entire scale— it’s like going from A to Z. Moving 20 places out 3,000 is virtually indistinguishable, it’s margin of error in measurement stuff.

You don’t seem to have basic reading comprehension skills. The point is in the context of every jurisdiction in the entire WORLD (uppercased because you have trouble with reading comprehension as noted before), falling to 49/50 states isn’t notable either.

What you are doing is adjusting the goalposts for rhetorical aims, and these goalposts wouldn’t be moved if America went from 1-20 in a similar metric under Trump. You know that and I know that.

Does Elrich pay you by the hour for this?

How often do we celebrate the guy who finished 20th in the Boston Marathon because it's virtually indistinguishable from first place?

Do not engage with this Elrich bot. This person is delusional.

Almost every large shopping or gas station has a beggar asking for money. I've heard a lot excuses. One man said he left his wallet at home and his car is out of gas at the station. I told him open the trunk up and let me see what you have that worth $20 that you can give to me. He couldn't open the trunk up. I guess it wasn't his car. His lost.

DP. The idea that the ranking slip doesn’t matter is bad take. The median income of the top county is 32 percent higher than moco. Imagine how much better moco would be if the median household had 32 percent more income. It would be amazing. And we had the human capital to do it, it was bad politics that ruined it.

The trend line also matters. Will probably be a 100 or worse in a generation, massive compounded loss. And cost of living in the area combined with an increasingly k shaped income distribution makes it feel worse.

They should make Montgomery county part of Baltimore county. They both look like dumps run by liberals.

You post this constantly. I understand it’s annoying to be priced out of Bethesda, and so you post these bizarre screeds out of bitterness. But no one is confused between Bethesda and Baltimore.
