    That ties in beautifully with the “the economy is booming”. Well, it is, but the news conveniently forgot to mention that all the gains go to the top and the workers are getting nothing. Instead prices are kept high and more wages are being stolen to squeeze the working class even more.

      Yep. And there’s actually really 2 economies in this country. There’s “the economy,” which is the one the government and media talk about incessantly. That’s the one that is booming and it affects only rich people. The economy, is the one that affects the rest of us and it’s in the shitter and has been for decades. But they won’t ever talk about that, because that ruins the narrative and more people would wake up if they knew how awful it truly is.
