Exactly this. I'm sick of people saying "The Economy™" is doing so damn well. Never has it been clearer that there are many economies, 2 of which are the economy of the investor and the economy of the working class*. The absolute tone deafness of statements about "perception mismatch" only serves to illustrate the brutality of class conflict. It's not a misperception of reality, we're living in 2 different realities.
*Also the economy of the impoverished and the black market among others.
None of that shit matters.
Rent is up, food costs more, pay isn’t going up.
Most people are worse off than end of 2022.
Dems should be constantly attacking republicans for making things worse.
