I can already tell, without needing to read Michael Green's report or Kiel's full rant, that the first point, thus the whole rant, is an outright lie. What does Keil mean that Michael Green is purely "conflating" the $110k figure with the lower percentiles on the current class bell curve (if it's still a bell curve)? Is it simply Green pointing out that the $32k line that demarcated between poor and middle class ten years ago no longer applies because of inflation? How is that pure conflation? That sounds like Green is demanding economists, intellectuals, and influencers respect basic economic realities in their many models and formulae, beyond the other problems. Why is conflation wrong anyways, if the reality is that the number is not representing upper middle class anymore? If the numbers show that average person in America is starting to live like the average of average poorer countries, how is "well the average American is rich ackshully compared to world" proving Green illogically conflates his figure range and the American poor?
It's too easy for the academics to lie to people, and I'm tired of it.

The rich are actually getting richer and the poor actually poorer, like the socialist trope says; and yet, the same rich are embracing gay race communism that supposedly hates them to the core.
Make it make sense.

@SuperSnekFriend @professionalbigot69 @sickburnbro they want to establish a neofeudalism with the super rich on top and a huge slave caste to serve them.
Their hindsight is that people need to have money to consume product.

They are already complaining that people are holding for too long to their computers and aren't buying the new over-expensive tech slop.

I don't care about the economy
I care about people getting goods and services
Although it may sound like the same thing it is not the same thing because the measurements economists use to measure the economy do not actually measure that
Helping the economy is just an excuse politicians use to hatm the working class
By helping the economy they mean they mean helping the slave master class
@shortstories @SuperSnekFriend @professionalbigot69 @sickburnbro proof of that is the gdp "growing" when it's just 7 companies giving billions of dollars to each other in what is totally not a bubble bro trust me, while the average person is being priced out of absolutely everything.
