Hey Lane, you been in a bad mood lately because Olympia helped seal the deal?

Not at all. I was hoping she'd vote that way. Great strategy. You'd best waid and see what she ends up voting on at the end of the day and how she votes on it before getting too cheerful.

I think it's pretty clear that over the past decade things are heading downhill for all but the top.

My projected net worth has taken a hit during the last decade but I haven't had to make any life-style adjustments because of it. I don't know anyone who has. I know that the last decade has been horrid for a lot of people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time but hardly "all but the top." That's pretty hyperbolic.

I still have trouble attributing your concern about the excesses of a few people to anything but jealousy, which is one of the "deadly sins" for a reason.

It appears that isn't enough time to declare a 'trend' yet for some of you...

The loss of manufacturing has long been a concern of mine. For a long time the service industry compensated. Don't know how long that can last. As for trends in executive compensation, I don't have any reason to think the last ten years has made any difference.
