They tell us that government DATA is more real than our wallets and that we are just too stupid to comprehend how good the economy is. Bulls**t!
2/3 of Americans dont have 1000 Dollars in case of an emergency
3/4 of the Middle Class are “gasping for air”
Inflation was easily 2x what they officially admit. For me rent+groceries went up from 1200 in 2019 to 2300 now. House prices have doubled within the last 5 years.
People are unable to afford a house/family. Except for the top 20% everyone is struggling financially far more than 5 years ago.
If 5 years ago you could afford 100 things and have 500 Dollars left at the end of the month and now you can afford just 90 things and have nothing left – then you are objectively doing worse. But some people outside the 20% – actually believe that they are doing better despite not being able to afford food at the end of the month.
