What about clickbait sites selling demand-side economy story as some sort of revelation despite being heavily represented in the field of economics and government policy for the last hundred years? Do they create jobs? Or just confusion?
While it's true that Americans take less money home, it's not true that compensation has fallen. In fact, "total compensation reflects growth in productivity."[1]
BTW What actually allows trees to grow is the CO2 from the air. That's what they're made of. Partial credit for mentioning water.

But what actually grows and sustains trees is the combination of the DNA in the seed and the soil, sunshine, water, atmosphere, nutrients, and other factors in the environment that nurture them. Pretty sure they cover CO2 in that list under the broader category of atmosphere.
