Just a weird article.
It admits everything the NYT article said was just fine.
It posits a bunch of hunches. And the only evidence it has is a “surprisingly candid” interview with a chief strategist from JP Morgan, indicating that the author of this article doesn’t understand what the JP Morgan strategist’s job involves (there absolutely nothing surprising about them being “candid”).
The only piece of “evidence” currently available is that wages grew slower than inflation, but that’s been the case for most (all?) years since the post-pandemic economy settled.
I don’t think it’s wrong to strongly believe this is the case. What is incredibly stupid is to act as if an article in a newspaper which is explicitly not about wages but about number of jobs, not covering speculative theories is evidence of a lack of knowledge or conspiracy.
