    Good luck trying to explain to working-class people that the struggle they’re feeling is only because they don’t understand economics well enough.

      Good luck trying to explain to tech-savvy upper-income Lemmy users that average income adjusted for inflation, at the bottom end of the scale, has actually been rising faster than the grocery prices, and that that’s a good thing.

      I’ve been trying for a couple of days now with apparently no success.
