Sorry about the rant, I have a lot of feelings here.
Realistically, we all have this inherent bias and no one in my life has had their lives improved by Biden. Not a single one. I’m not upper class, my family is stable lower middle class now but we grew up very poor on food stamps and money is still a constant struggle for all of us. I’m glad that apparently people at the bottom have benefitted under Biden but I frankly don’t believe it.
Unions in my city are always fighting tooth and nail to get livable wages and most don’t succeed. I know many people in lower paying positions at my company who left and moved because they tried to get a livable wage and failed, so they went elsewhere because the only way to get any semblance of a good wage anymore is to quit and start anew. Everyone I talk to has suffered under inflation since 2020, without exception.
Again, if some people have benefitted that’s great. But I just haven’t seen it. What I have seen is year over year the C-suite giving themselves 10%+ raises while the rest of us get increases under inflation. That’s not Biden’s fault directly, but he sure hasn’t done anything else to make it any easier on us.
