Real median household income is down 8% in the last seven years. Mortgage applications are down 60% in the last seven years. Wage growth is non-existent. Healthcare premiums are increasing at double digit rates. Food prices are skyrocketing. Savers get .15% on their money. But, the stock market is at all-time highs. And corporate profits and stock buybacks are at record levels.
Things are just so fucking great, it’s driving people to drink. No wonder the MSM is reporting consumer confidence is at a seven year high. Everyone they interviewed was drunk.
