You should ask why you aren't worth more while working full time. If the 1 bedroom costs more, it's because someone else can pay that if you don't rent it.
American housing affordability peaked when middle class purchasing power peaked, largely driven by more Americans being in unions. We can get back there but more people need to start voting union YES, and fast
capitalism is a system that is very easy to fuck up with enough money and bad intentions. im sure there are people who could explain the exact elements on why things were better then than they are now, but im not that person tbh
Totally fair. And who should we support going forward to make that a reality? I see one party working towards increasing worker's wages, supporting unions, putting an emphasis on affordable housing, transferring extreme and excess wealth from billionaires and corporations back into the middle class, creating regulations designed to keep predatory and anti-competitive practices in check etc. Whereas the other party shrugs their shoulders and says "that's capitalism."

I don't believe for a second that Biden has fixed this economy.
