    You’re confusing the experience of the average working class person with the purse strings of an entire nation.

    Yes, people are poor. People are poor because wages have stagnated while prices and productivity have increased.

    The capitalist class however have seen unprecedented wealth increase.

    Britain is still among one of the richest countries in the world as a whole, despite its working class being squeezed for all they’re worth.

      and how do you expect to squeeze money out of the capitalist class? same as australia ive never been worth more because my house is insanely overvalued but my day to day hasn’t changed much

      maybe we shouldn’t use wealth as a barometer of a rich country and look at the experience of the average person instead ?
