    Yes, that’s what I’m talking about. Do you think the lower class only spends money on food, rent and gas? Some may but there are a lot of “non rich” people who buy nonessentials.

          Credit card debt is at an all time high, more people are living paycheck to paycheck than ever before, Americans rejected Biden explicitly because of his gaslighting about how good the economy was, union membership is up, and nearly all Americans celebrated the death of that CEO.

          People aren’t in a good spot. They don’t have disposable income unless they above median wage. The great depression had better ratios in terms of money spent on essentials.

            This is utter bullshit and you know it. I know several people below median income, one is sending a child to college. They have iPhones, TVs, etc. To claim that these people are only buying the absolute necessities is just lefitst BS.
