    What’s the comparable number in 2019? What percentage in poverty before the pandemic vs. now? If you don’t have the answers to these questions, you’re not actually contributing to the conversation

      Numbers are pointless, as may be explaining myself further. There is no use in trying to counter numbers with numbers as many of these statistics are disingenuous already.

        I mean, everyone is employed and has more money than before, but let’s not stop us from being mad about the economy

          Jesus dude, maybe take a minute from your Facebook level “research” and look around at the people you’re claiming are doing SO MUCH BETTER struggling to rent a 1 bedroom because “hurr number higher!” Than people who bought homes and had yearly vacations on a single income with an entire family just decades prior. Get a grip, man.

            That’s just anecdotal evidence. What’s the actual proof? You can’t just say people are struggling more now than before without showing me the facts
