@pbsnews: Despite continuing concerns around the shutdown, tariffs, and inflation, the markets have continued to climb. In fact, the S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq have set records more than 30 times this year. Other data suggests the economy is still chugging along at a steady clip. Yet, that's only part of the story. For the vast majority of Americans, this economy is landing very differently right now. Their incomes have not kept pace with inflation, they're encumbered with debt and they don't have any assets. Paul Solman reports. #pbsnewshour #newshour #pbsnews#governmentshutdown #tarriffs #inflation #DonaldTrump #trumpadministration #sp500 #nasdaq #economy #debt #assets

I love being lectured about money from billionaires who have never struggled a day in their lives.

just one million dollars invested is 40k a year without breaking a sweat. More than millions of people make in a year from just 1 million. Imagine a hundred million, or a billion.

if someone is able to buy a Rolls Royce in cash, on a whim, they're not "upper middle income," they're wealthy

Interesting how hoarding objects is a mental illness since it creates dysfunction in one's personal life; yet hoarding wealth and creating dysfunction on an entire society isnt considered a mental illness.

I think that the bottom 80% should all stop paying & filing taxes. The people in power have enough money.
