The economy is fine! We just have… money dysmorphia. /s
The gaslighting is at warp speed now.

The gaslighting is at warp speed now.
This is the kind of attribution they are making, that its just a psychological condition and not an actual endemic issue that needs to be addressed.
I can definitely see why the term “gaslighting” was used
“Sir, 50% of the population has this virus called COVID.”
“It’s just a virology condition and not an actual endemic issue that needs to be addressed.”
To know how endemic it is to younger gens, we would need a baseline and to know the prevalence in prior gens.
I suspect that the progression of social media and influencers has amplified a false lifestyle perspective — the same as tv and ads/consumerism would’ve amplified them for prior gens — but I haven’t seen any large cross sectional or generational studies; only ones that are, at best, anecdotal.
In a for profit world tech isn’t it mathematically straightforward that 50% is financially behind the other 50%?
