Cherry picking by looking at males only, which somehow didn't make it into the title here in what I'm sure was an innocent oversight. It's also flat out lying by saying "earn same" - the tweet only claims earning enough to pay for typical household expenses - the typical household buys a lot more things than they did in 1985.
Title is heavily misleading and inaccurate and should be changed.

- ikeboy 7y agoNote that Warren isn't claiming that everyone is poorer, rather specifically middle-class households that chose to buy expensive housing to get into better school districts. Her argument can be read as saying that housing/education inflation is higher for those families specifically (and therefore lower for everyone else - if it's higher than average for some it must be lower for others, that's the nature of averages). Also this is unrelated to my point, which is that OP has a misleading and borderline false title.
