In my home are 6 males over 18, me and my 5 sons. Three of us work FT & it's just enough to keep our head above water.
One son just graduated HS & will enter his final year of trade school this fall. His twin is entering his senior year of HS.
During most of the post-2008 recovery (that news orgs endlessly crowed about, especially after 2012) we ate rice, being unable to afford beans or anything else. Some days we ran our of rice.
From my perspective, most of the recovery was limited largely to shareholders & wealthy metro areas.
I don't fault or credit any PotUS for terrible years or less terrible years. I do, however, hold some lingering resentment for news orgs that stayed resolutely out of touch with all but select sq mi of the US. It's hard to not feel they earned whatever oblivion they may find themselves staring into.
