It says "yearly income of every individual" -- that means sum, right?
I'd interpret "income of every" to mean "income of each" rather than "income of all", though I think household income makes more sense.
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm so bummed that no one was watching PGL this season -- I know a ton of people watching, but we must have been it!

Always Anti-fascist!
-t is me on IJ.(I actually did find most of the sections quite clever, there was just that little bit *too much* wtf, if you'll follow me. I don't need everything tied up with a ribbon, but I don't like feeling like I got jerked around to no purpose. It's like "Dude, we're on the same side, ok? You cared enough about your addiction metaphor to write 1000 pages about it...clue me in just a speck, would you? But I guess his size issues were more important)I watched "Project Greenlight", Jesse. And I'm sad to say I have nothing to add to the multiple conversation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think household income makes more sense.
Especially since wealth was conclusively household. Either way, I see the old money folk laughing. Or having their staff laugh for them.
I know a ton of people watching, but we must have been it!
I didn't. I'm sorry. I'm sure I'd have enjoyed it too.

Exactly, erika! That was a hefty tome to get to the end of and not know what the point was.

I blame you.

What is even happening?
It may be circumstantial and open to interpretation, but I don't think it's absent.
But what is it? I'm not saying it's not there -- I'm saying I haven't seen it, and asking for it.The main reason I think it is absent is that for a while at the beginning, I was waiting for it to either be confirmed, or to be debunked (I was betting on the second as a plot twist).
I thought the season was going to be a more explicit condemnation of U.S. foreign policy.
Also, for me it was important not to jump to the conclusion that because a number of the higher up terrorists are sort of swarthy, they must be Muslim. Salon worked their piece from the angle of showing how this wasn't a realistic plot -- from the nukes, to the football, to the power plants to the blonder characters having such crucial roles in a religious jihad. But it was largely because apparent outsiders (ex US marines, etc.) had such prominent roles, that I thought this was going to not be a religious jihad story at all, and since I can't remember confirmation of it, I'm still wondering.
Oh well, sexy whispering and torture are still all right by me.
