2/ 🧵When I was younger, the phrase ‘upward mobility’ was a key part of any economic talk or policy. Government was focused on providing pathways to prosperity and to the middle class. Poverty was not viewed as permanent. Jobs were plentiful, wages were fair for the time. Now, our leaders, financed by corporate and billionaire dollars, are intent on keeping us down, extracting as much wealth as possible (think subscriptions for everything and rising costs with shrinking packaging) while distracting us with bogus social/cultural war issues and massive #Disinformation campaigns. #USPOL #USPolitics #economics #MiddleClass #UpwardMobility
