Dow is up 56% since 2020. Any of you doing 56% better? Any normal Joe's out there were making $100k in 2020, and now pulling in $150k? Did you get your yearly 10% bump last fall from work? Me either. Something will break eventually. We're judging the health of our country by how well our nobility play.
