.gaia.

 The bottom 60% of earners only account for 20% of consumption and economic activity. The top 10% account for 50% The poor are becoming statistically invisible in macroeconomic data. “The economy’s great!” Not for most of us. This was true under Biden too

and so we need to keep incentivizing the rich to do their economic activity here by giving them literally anything and everything, so its a self sustaining cycle of: we need economic activity - help the rich! - the rich get richer - the rich want to get richer and are leaving, taking their economic activity elsewhere - we need economic activity - help the rich!

the wealth doesnt even need to trickle down anymore. the economy looks good because the 10% keep doing better and better, becoming a larger share of that apparently good economy, so nothing needs to change. pick yourself up by the bootstraps (aka levitate)
