@rbreich This is exactly the problem that I only ever really hear you talk about Robert. The elites in Washington are completely disconnected from the struggles of real people, the people they are supposed to represent. The news talks about how the economy is doing - and they nearly always mean the "stock market" which has become nothing more than a casino for the wealthy. I make a six-figure income and it still costs me half a month’s bring-home pay to cover rent. And because consumers are pulling back in this vibecession, my job in a consumer focused company was just eliminated. Laid off at my age with little social safety net available is certainly a cause for some "bad vibes."
