According to consumer sentiment surveys, the index is saying the economy is worse then it has been in years. Worse then during the Great Recession. Worse then the era of stagflation and the misery index in the late 1970s. Is the economy really that bad?
Nothing is easier than defending the status quo.

if birth rates are below replacement then it means the economy is so bad that your species is literally going extinct.

well yeah. And it also existedbin the 50s when birth rates were far above replacement. Income inequality itself doesn't make economies bad.

In the seventies, the very worst year for families saw wives contributing on average 26.4% of the families income. In general,wives continued to raise the kids and keep the home in the 70s.Monderegal » 11 Mar 2024, 5:21 pm » wrote: ↑ According to consumer sentiment surveys, the index is saying the economy is worse then it has been in years.

Today, it takes two incomes just to pay the bills.
I will grant that we have bigger homes and more crap - so we should expect that things will be more expensive for families. But anyone who actually shops knows that groceries have basically doubled in price under biden. That puts a hurt on millions and millions of families.

Should surgeons and dish washers have equal pay, in your opinion?
Or should there be income inequality?
Choose.

yes. America doesn't have its own supply chain anymore. Ruling elites swindled it away. It can be reestablished but it will take a year or more to get it back online.Monderegal » 11 Mar 2024, 5:21 pm » wrote: ↑ According to consumer sentiment surveys, the index is saying the economy is worse then it has been in years.

Income inequality widened under Biden and Obama, but narrowed under Trump.
How did that happen?

This "income inequality" thing is a real pile of dook.
Implicit in the complaint is the notion that incomes OUGHT to be equal, as I see it. And that notion is as retarded as any notion I have ever heard. The likelihood of a young man completing law school or medical school or engineering school if he can make the same money washing dishes or lifeguarding or working as a pool boy is pretty **** slim.

One of the things that used to indicate to people that prices were going up was right in your hands:
price stickers.
That convenient upc bar code made that go bye-bye long ago.
Some ancient item in a package at a yard sale might have a sticker now and then.
But they're like Elven Runes to our millennials snickering at the evidence that their lives continue to worsen.
Our money is like our values: diluted to worthlessness.
Old people shake their heads and figure, "**** it, I'm outta here soon."
Young people are frogs in a slowly heating kettle. So immersed they don't realize what they're losing.
Please seat yourself.
I like the very things you hate.
