Are you perchance in a situation where you don't plainly see the dual economy right in front of your face when you go outside? I'm about as skeptical as they come, but not as much about things I can watch happen with my own eyes. Or was there something more specific in the article that seemed dubious?
I'd encourage people not to let HN's ridiculous faux-scientific culture enable you to persist in denial about how around 100 million people in the US live.

If we want to debate inequality, we should do it on one of those articles, not this 0-content opinion piece.
