Again with this clown shit. This fucking idiot does not understand that when real income is falling, Americans arenโt going to feel like they are doing better โ because they are not.
Or, see here: Inflation was so bad last year that real household income tumbled the most in 12 years, causing families severe economic pain. (Surowiecki also uses a very-obviously deliberately-obfuscatory time period of 2018-2021, when stimulus was occurring, to conceal this fact.)
I wish I could get paid to write utter dipshit stuff like this. What a dream gig.
