I mean, my wealth has more than doubled over the past decade. The stock market has been going absolutely bananas, and my retirement accounts have done well.
I guess when corporate media told us the economy was doing great, it was you they were talking to, and not the other ~80–90% of Americans.
Your wealth has more than doubled. So? A significant number of people are in the shit. But I suppose as long as you’re doing ok, that’s alls that matters….
OK for some I guess.
