    Tldr:

    1. Author doesn’t understand “the economy” is just about corporate profits

    2. Wages are (slightly) up, but not enough to afford food and housing.

    3. Author looks at mean instead of median retirement savings and say everything is great.

    If you’re wondering why she has such bad takes, she’s a self described “crypto reporter” who was trying to convince us inflation was a good thing a while ago.

    She’s completely detached from reality

      I appreciate the summary and the warning about the reporter. I had a feeling, but confirmation helps. 👍
