Those metrics are disconnected from middle class reality.
- tekla 3y agoWhat metrics are you looking at for your claims
- lockhouse 3y agoThe ones that matter to me personally. Namely my paycheck, price stickers, my bills, and my bank account. The rest of the metrics are mostly for economists and rich people.
- knewter 3y agoThis is my experience and that of everyone I talk to in my daily life. It's like a very weird bubble on HN and in the media, where people are ignoring things like "my tracked expenses for groceries are 60% higher than they were in 2019, and my restaurant budget has grown though I go out to eat 1/3 as much" I don't have to guess about these things, I have receipts. Still, everyone here and on the news tells me things are great!
