Exactly this. I’m sick of people saying “The Economy™” is doing so damn well. Never has it been clearer that there are many economies, 2 of which are the economy of the investor and the economy of the working class*. The absolute tone deafness of statements about “perception mismatch” only serves to illustrate the brutality of class conflict. It’s not a misperception of reality, we’re living in 2 different realities.
*Also the economy of the impoverished and the black market among others.
