Wealthy doesn't mean anything when paired with unaffordable.

Wealthy doesn't mean anything when paired with unaffordable.
- ajross 1y agoNo, no, no. Americans are wealthier in PPP metrics than they ever have been. There are no numbers that show what you believe. None. It's wrong. And yet you, and everyone else, believes it anyway. And because Everyone Believes It you figure it must represent some great truth and thus people showing you numbers to the contrary must be wrong, or lying. And so you end up prey for politicians lying to you, and you elect a government that starts a trade war. And I guess it does represent such a truth, but it's a great truth about universal delusion at the end of an empire, or something else. It's not about wealth. It's not.
