Economic Statistics Don't Tell the Full Story: Most Americans Still Struggle with Low Wages and Unaffordable Essentials
- Economic statistics don't reflect many Americans' difficult realities of low wages, unaffordable housing, etc.
- We need to listen to people's actual experiences rather than just tell them the economy is fine.
- Extreme inequality and corporate power have caused an economic crisis.
- To create change, we must disrupt corporate power through strikes, boycotts, changing laws, etc.
- Wins like the UAW strikes and Inflation Reduction Act show progress, but we need more systemic change.
