How long has this been goin' on?
(ooh-ooh, yeah)
You've been creepin' 'round on me
How long has it been goin' on, baby? Oh (ooo-oh)
How long has this been goin' on? (You gotta go tell me now)
It seems like 40 years is more than enough.
One upon a time there was only one truth. https://dbeagan.blogspot.com/2022/01/resiliency.html. Which led to the Spanish Inquisition, the Crusades, Jihad, and all that stuff. In statistical
terms the mean is equal to the median is equal to the mode, but the variance is zero. This is called a normal distribution. ( can we say SNAFU)
Relativity said that there is more than one truth, that your
perspective, frame of reference, matters, and the variance should not be just
zero. The mean can still be equal to the median,
but the variance should be more than 0 . If the variance is equal to one, then this
is referred to as a uniform normal distribution,
the familiar bell shaped curve. But the
skew is still zero.
As a way to increase the mean, the Reagan, supply side, tax
cuts were approved. They did increase the mean, but they also increased the
skew. It was not limited to just zero. It might have been expected that the distribution
would have been only moderately skewed, but this turned out to be wrong. After almost 40 years, the United States has an extremely skewed distribution of income,
and has the most skewed distribution of wealth in the world ( not counting the Sultanate
of Brunei and the tax haven of the Bahamas but they each have less than 0.01%
of the wealth of the United States.) https://dbeagan.blogspot.com/2022/04/distribution-of-wealth.html
Terms like normal and skew might seem to be biased but these
are what the mathematical terms are called.
And math does not lie.

If the skew was less than 1 it would be characterized as only
moderately skewed. If the distribution
was an exponentially modified Gaussian (normal) distribution, the skew would be between 0.0 and 0.31. The fact that the skew is now so much greater
than 1.0 proves that if you give some people an inch, they will take a mile.
