Ugh, I’m sick and tired of these whiny employees not thinking about the real hardworking heroes of America. Shareholders.
Major life experiences have been stolen from a large % of the population, all to make a handful of people richer. It’s tragic.
On the bright-ish side, there’s an even more tragic fate waiting for those handful of people in the coming years…
Half of America makes more than that now. Though not by much.

It’s tough because the snopes article moves between individual and household income amounts–which are two very different things. Kinda wish articles were written more clearly, and provided contextual data regarding how many households have multiple earners.
My first job out of college paid $28k/year. Of course that was in the mid 80s. Almost 40 years later, half the country is making less than $7k more than that.
