Take 2 here. (The board ate 3/4 of my post)
Paychecks are not going up. Energy costs are spiking (not going down). While some businesses are throwing around a pittance of bonus money (less than 1% of annual profits), they are also looking to consolidate operations (in other words, make lots of people redundant). 401Ks are exploding, but that doesn't help the average joes who haven't been able to afford to contribute to them for the last decade. Meanwhile increases in cost of living (health costs, housing, food, etc.) continue to outpace wages and inflation. So what are you cheering for again? Trump was supposed to be about the people in middle America who were getting a shitty deal, but other than low employment (no doubt propped up by shitty part time jobs), what exactly are we celebrating for them?
