@cenkuygur@benshapiro@marklevinshow You’re usually so insightful and reasonable, and then you say something moronic like this. And I say this as a fan. It’s beneath you.
Since Trump took office, Americans' real wages and 401ks have risen, inflation has fallen, productivity has surged -- and voters' ratings of the economy have fallen off a cliff.
Today, consumer sentiment is lower than it was during the Great Recession.
What explains the public's economic discontent?
In a good post on the broader "vibecession," @mtkonczal offered one explanation: The prices of essentials -- groceries, transportation, healthcare, and housing -- have risen faster than overall inflation. Maybe flat-screen TVs have been getting more affordable. But the things people truly *need* haven't.
This has been true for much of the past four years. But since Trump's inauguration, wages have been rising faster than most essentials. https://t.co/5boWajRWy4

Number one mistake we're all making is referring to people on "the left" or "the right." There are hundreds of millions of Americans who fit those descriptions - and almost none of them did anything wrong. The real problem is not left or right, it's extremism! From both sides.
