Perhaps tariffs and juiced stocks resolve this discrepancy. Would perhaps explain why spending and wage data among lower income is holding up while sentiment (UMich) and account balances (BOA) show a growing rich/poor divide. Thoughts?
"Career prosecutors determined that there was no evidence to support these charges. They were pushed out and replaced with individuals whose only qualification is their loyalty to a single man, not to the Constitution or the law. That is corruption. That is abuse of power...we must all speak out."
INBOX: National Bar Association President Ashley L. Upkins calls the charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James “unjust and dangerous” and a representation of "the continued weaponization of our nation’s justice system for political gain."

We can and should be critical of reflexive centrists who think the answer to ever electoral loss is more centrism. But desperately seeking to argue (without evidence) that optimal electoral strategy should be basically this individual's policy (leftist) preferences... is no better & not productive.
How can we read the first half of this paragraph and think this is an excellent piece? The second half of the paragraph is correct, but the leftist ranting in the first half is evidence-free itself! Plus no nod to Biden's pro union policies? Abundance is the product of "Billionaires"? Come on.
