How exactly has the working class "fallen behind" I. The timespan of that chart? Working class live in luxury compared to 60 years ago!

Luxury relative to what and to whom? The 1%? Or my grandparents? Just because I have toilets and they had outhouses doesn’t mean I live in “luxury.” Do you believe all have proportionately benefited from innovation in that period? We spent 25% of our income on health in ‘22. Not luxury.

The working class still lives hand to mouth and has not benefited in any way from productivity improvements. Fancy new tech makes no difference if you can't afford it.
