And right there nuzzled into the last two sentences it is. NYT telling us how wonderful the economy is, just look at these statistics! Let’s not consider how much of folks income goes to housing and food, NYT just wants to talk about the economy in broad strokes because all the profits from squeezing you plebs looks great on this graph.

All these words saying “oh there’s totally statistics that back up that things are actually good” without ever citing them.

Income inequality is at an all-time high. Full-time minimum wage is not enough to afford an apartment anywhere in the country. Homelessness is rising. Red states are rolling back child labor laws. House prices, rent, health care, education, and other items have been inflating much faster than wages for my entire life. The only positive metrics you can find are for owners of capital investments.

Don’t call Krugman an elitist though, it hurts his feewings.
