So really what you and @lanai are talking about seem to identify you both are in completely different strata.
As the US experiences more and more social/economic stratification, these separate realities become more divergent (canonical YMMV).
It's peak ignorance to pretend everyone has the same conditions as you. Stats show many people are suffering.
- EVdotIO 6y agoThis is pretty much the crux of why we see unrest and increased polarization. There are the afore mentioned CPAs with just too much stimulus money to spend, people buying houses faster than they can be built, or the high net wealth individuals that might as well be aliens on mars (and coincidentally can't wait to do). Meanwhile people are falling deeper behind on rent payments with delinquency figures at 25% in NYC, unemployment figures hovering around 10%, small businesses forced into insolvency, and a radically different landscape when this is all said and done. Those at the very top made out like a bandit, and there are a cohort of the PMC that will to be fine. For this group to be so out of touch with reality to downplay or outright ignore these issues is a direct path to a very angry segment on society.
