Shit Is Fucked Up And Bullshit

"We" get a bit richer every year, on a per capita basis, but most of us are getting poorer.

I can't quantify this, but I do sense that as the great stagnation creeps up through the income distribution, as we go from things sucking for the bottom 40% to the bottom 50% to the bottom 60% (etc.), as people increasingly see that there's no possible way for their kids to have the kind of life that they had, that attitudes are changing. People who thought they won the meritocracy lottery are seeing things a bit differently.

Of course we need some politicians to champion some policies to help people, but Third Way.
