Living standards for which Americans?

And a steep decline in living standards correlates to a rise of fascism.

Kind of feels like it already fell 27%

Curious what is meant by "living standard" here. Because a 27% drop in HDI would be potentially catastrophic. A 27% drop in like median household income would probably be painful, but for context the median Canadian household income is roughly 27% lower than the US.

So we're gonna go from "the toilet" to "hell"?

Cool zone imminent.

Who is ready for some hyperinflation?
