      Even if true, poverty is growing and the income gap is widening. The percentage of people living paycheck to paycheck is growing, the percentage of people that can’t afford their rent is growing, the homeless population is growing, with the fastest growing segment being the elderly. No amount of gaslighting from the government changes those numbers.
