I'm missing your point here Bucky.
93-94% have what? while 25-30% have college degrees.
College Degrees?
bucky is, as usual, using semantics to "prove" his narrative.
the OP blithely declares that theres been 200% inflation since the 80's based on the CPI numbers, while economists and government bureaucrats continue to mutter "what inflation?"
meanwhile the official unemployment number is "7%" while the number of people desperately trying to get a job at mac burgers or walmart continues to skyrocket.
inflation, unemployment, "income", the tax burden, government expenses, the deficit and the national debt are all measured and reported by the same assholes who are responsible for the problems they are expected to measure and report.
if you make booze manufacturers and distributors responsible for measuring and reporting alcoholism and drunk driving crashes, shockingly enough, those problems will be solved overnight.
it's the magic of bureaucracy.
redefining a problem can make that problem disappear.
