NO . Anyone who has investments should be well ahead of what they had 4 years ago, even after covid. I am at almost double.

4 years ago I owned 1 house in the USA. I now own 2 houses and a condo in the country I live now. I have close to 30 acres of land. My health insurance went from $4000 my share a year or $8000 for me and my wife, + $1500 deductible each to $3800 for both of us, no deductible and it is good in all Asian countries, Australia and Europe. My US health insurance wasn't accepted here. Yeah I am about 200% better off than I was 4 years ago.

The question was about the country in general, not your personal finances.

Well that is wonderful for you, but not everyone has been as fortunate. There is still a lot of poverty in our country.

Most people in poverty live in Democrat run cities.

A great example of the GOP mantra of "I've got mine, eff you"

Who cares if hundreds of thousands of people are dying when your stock portfolio is going up, amirite?

Irrelevant, as there will always be poverty. The #1 way to fix poverty is to not incentivize it.
