And even then your premise is still largely false. The median and average economic outcome of white men has increased perfectly reasonably since the late 1970s. That includes both income and net wealth figures. The American white male is economically better off than the white male in: Britain, Sweden, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and so on.

It's primarily the labor-heavy working-class white male (in the white male demographic) that has been brutalized by changes in the US and global economy. They have been left behind to drown in a pool of fentanyl.

That sounds like most people are actually more negatively affected by the economy compared to decades prior.

No, not "most". It's 30% or 40% of people. That's not "most". In particular, it's not enough to dominate the statistics.

Let me say very clearly: It's far too many people. I don't care if it's less than a majority, and I don't care if it swings the overall statistics. It's still too many people that are being economically destroyed.

I love hacker news, complaining about semantics when someone says most people are having their lives ruined with the clap back that it's only 40% is the best possible reply!

What needs to change so people (not just white working-aged males) aren't destroyed?

Enforce balanced trade in the global economy.
