Very good short essay about living as a household of four in 2025. This explains a lot about the material conditions the people actually struggle with. Give it a read!

How a Broken Benchmark Quietly Broke America

@wackJackle I do not like this article. The writer seems to use a little bit of truth to whitewash a lot of lies, and smells very conservative.
Seems like he supports a "single income household", and cutting both taxes and the social safety net (or "benefits").
Also, it's like a preview for a paid subscription something. A kind of coaching for "let me teach you how to be rich". Seems like grifting.

@DrorBedrack I also think that he has conservative views or he is probably right wing on many issues. I think that he can't offer real solutions to the problem.

Though, I can acknowledge his argument and the data he put together. It does explain a lot what's broken in the USA. I don't have to like the guy; the information is still well thought out.
