If 99 homeless people and Elon Musk are in a room, the average net worth of every person in the room is 2 billion dollars. Why aren’t all 100 happy about that?
Because Elon got jumped by 99 homeless people and he’s no longer happy?
Watching Elon get ripped to shreds by 99 ravenous homeless people is a special kind of pornography.
But seriously, fuck the rich, fuck the investor class, fuck private equity. Goddamned tulip-speculating pieces of useless garbage.
That’s because it is… the economy may be growing on paper but the portion of it most people have access to is constantly shrinking.
But, but, muh GDP.
The economy is fine, if you have money.
I just have one question: Growth for who?
Yeah I thought so….
Because disability benefits haven’t increased in the past decade
Its because the economy works mostly for the rich and & underpaid employees reap none of the rewards.
Except real wages are up the largest percentage for the lowest income brackets and the least for the highest.
Yeah, people should be grateful everything is expensive as fuck and the planet is burning while the c-suites get more money than ever. A real accomplishment this good economy.
How does this “economic growth” benefit me? That’s right, it does not.
Inflation has been a killer. It has hurt the lower class the most.
Thats not inflation its price gouging
It absolutely has not. Real wages are up the most among the lowest earners.
