  • Replacing salaried desk jobs with hourly wages and no pay increase isn’t exactly employment growth. If everything recovered just fine, why are millennials miles behind where their parents were at a similar age? Homeownership has been steadily declining, savings accounts have steadily been dwindling, and the rate of Americans living paycheck to paycheck has only gone up in the past 20 years. That’s not a recovery, it’s an adaptation to a new normal.

    I would say that less than half the pickup trucks in the US have ever towed a single trailer, maybe one in four have towed a uhaul to help a buddy move once. Even guys working construction barely do anything that actually requires a pick-up. The boss’s truck will move all the heavy expensive stuff, but a van works even better since you can lock everything up and not have to worry about someone stealing your tools while you are out to lunch.
