That's literally fucking true though, all the data proves it, surveys even show that individuals consider their own circumstances to be better than in previous years but they assume they're the exception and that the economy is shit.
No wonder he's frustrated.
The economy is literally just paper.
People's ability to buy bread is not just a paper problem. Prices have gone up across the board, out of step with earnings, housing is beyond unaffordable to the point that multiple generations are having to accept that they will never own a home. Student debt has been through the roof for years, and now credit card debt is soaring.This economy is not even close to healthy for the median American.
All of that is quantifiable on paper.
Really all the data proves it? What is the relationship between minimum wage and average rental cost now and four years ago?

I asked about minimum wage not about cherry picked stats.
Asking specifically about minimum wage and only about minimum wage is cherry picking stats.
Tell me that you never had to pay rent on minimum wage without telling me.
