I don't get why people complain about Yi. His questions are usually reasonable (or always, since I can't think of stupid ones).

Because they're often pointed, but since they're questions he can't be pinned down to a particular position. This is frustrating to people who seek to "win" arguments.

Heh, because he already knows the answer.  Would've made a good ambulance chaser.

I had planned a thread but that darn work stuff keeps interfering.
Short answer is financialization and deflation.  The latter has been influenced by globalization and offshoring but also by the rise of Eurozone and post-Volker hawkish orthodoxy at the Fed.

I'm looking forward to your work slowing down a bit so you can post that thread

... because your short answer is intriguing, but I'm pretty sure I don't really understand it 

Hate to be rude Joan (well ok I dont often hate being rude) but you are keeping us waiting.
