A comment on Shrinkflation Is Quietly Making All Gadgets Worse. Parent comment
I am saying it would be better to be poor now than poor in 1980 even though the inequality is higher now.
I am saying that inequality by itself is not an especially meaningful measure.
I am saying that recently, 2019 through 2024, low wage income has risen in the US faster than high wage income.
