Meanwhile, more than 16 million Americans have filed for unemployment in the past month.
It's very telling that people are so surprised by economic stats like "3 out of 4 individuals make less than $75k/year."
This country is set up to discourage class consciousness/solidarity, and one of the key ways it works is misinformation about how much money we all make.
@KatieHill4CA I recently saw a social media post from someone who used her stimulus $ to buy a ton of booze. The caption was so arrogant. For millions of Americans, $1200 will not cut it. They’re still unable to feed their families and pay their bills.
