I think of all the oil, mining, forestry, construction, etc. jobs out there domininated by men. These aren't particularly high paying jobs by the hour but these guys put A LOT of overtime in which will put them over the average. I didn't see that adressed in the article, though 🤔

In 1970, we got Arthur Burns, the first Jewish fed chair since WW2. In 1971, Bretton Woods ended. Shortly after that wages stopped increasing despite massive productivity increases while the rich got richer and more Jewish. And we've had four more kike Fed chairs: Volcker (hereditarily, not religiously), Greenspan, Bernanke, and Yellen, for 45 years of Jewish Fed leadership out of the last 50 years. And now 1/3 of American billionaires are kikes in a country that's less than 2% jewish. I wonder if there's a connection between those facts.
