Fun fact: 63% of US workers can't afford a $500 expense
  • And to add to this it's not only the strength of the economy, but also the effect that the strong economy is having on workers as a plank of his campaign is my biggest gripe. For a good number of people in my region gross wages rose over the last year or two, but nowhere near enough to meet inflation. The base rent alone on non-subsidized units have more than doubled since the pandemic with an anemic response in wages or public assistance.

  • This has been my general sense of it as well, and likely the reason why Tildes is also popular for those looking for a Reddit-alternative. They're quieter platforms allowing for a more engaging conversation between people of similar interests. I'm excited to see how this all shapes out.
