If you draw graphs & base articles SOLEY on social security wages & an inequality article you’ve lost me. I think we need to be more intellectually honest and present all the variables based on a multitude of sources. The incentive to claim unemployment during Covid and/or switch to alternative income methods that are beyond tracking methods was at an all time high. The gap growth between the top 1% and the rest of us is true but what happens in the true meat of our nation is beyond what this garbage article wants to try to dive into. I’m so so tired of narrative based metrics derived from a single source to prove a point. It defeats goals we might commonly share & potentially turns intellectuals away from a cause.
