We're barreling into a "K-shaped economy."
The upper part of the K refers to higher-income Americans seeing their incomes & wealth rise. The bottom part points to lower-income households struggling with weaker income gains and steep prices: ctmirror.org/2025/12/01/w...

A rigged economy for the ultra-rich, plus decades of tax and wage policy failures, led us to this moment.
Nearly half of full-time workers in America fail to earn a living wage.
No wonder workers are stressed when they cannot afford basic essentials.

Affordability isn’t a “hoax.”
Families across the country say the cost of groceries, utilities, housing, and health care is squeezing their budgets — and many worry their situation will get worse.
