And that's the fix we're in. We all expect to feel some financial pain. But that pain is not evenly distributed. Another "what did you expect?" facepalm after decades of policy-driven wealth accumulation towards the very top. And what's considered "pain" varies from individual to individual, too, I'd imagine. McScrooge losing one nickel might cause more trauma than someone used to doing without losing much greater amounts. :shrug:
I wonder how much of that we've been brainwashed into just accepting. Know your place. :(
