In other news, I am very much looking forward to watching Alien on Blu-Ray in anticipation of Prometheus.

Wages for college graduates haven’t increased for 10 years.
I guess my main question is: so what? It’s all in 2011 dollars (i.e. adjusted for inflation), which means that purchasing power for 21-24 year old college grads (Americans, I’m assuming) is roughly the same as it was in 1990. If we’re thinking in terms of share of the total economy per capita - not presented here - we might have something to note. Wages are only meaningful relative to what they can be used to purchase, and relative to what other people are earning. The variety and sophistication of what we can purchase now is tremendously higher than it was in 1990. And not unrelatedly, people don’t seem to want to work less and spend less. Higher wages (or less work) isn’t progress, at least not to most people. iPhones are progress; 80 story condominiums are progress; local, organic, free range eggs are progress. Regardless of the wage figures, we’ve made significant progress in the last two decades.

Oddly enough, I feel like progress is being made when the bigots have to preface “marriage” with “traditional” so their point is understood.
