Bernie Sanders says it over and over again: 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Centrist critics swear this is false. Once we sort through the noise, we see Bernie is right on the money.

I have been getting into with neoliberals on Lemmy who are adamant that the economy under Biden has never been better. Survey anyone who has to do actual work for a living and they can tell you it’s a shit show. I was week nigh bartending this summer and fall and my good shifts i would take home $20, where as the same shift 2 years ago my bad nights i was still taking home $80 in cash tips, and it wasn’t just my bar. All the restaurants in my area are struggling because peopme have zero disposable income anymore.
But stocks had never been higher and “everyone is hiring!” (despite it actually being impossible to get a new job) back in November, so obviously everything was just fine.
I have never seen this. The economy under biden was getting close to recovering from the trump years but the only time I hear its the best ever is from people saying it was not the best as they heard say. Its like trump with his folks are sayin. It was better than it had been before him but not better than like the 90’s
