The other day I was reading a Bloomberg article about how income inequality in the U.S. has hit a disturbing new threshold.
It went on about the fact that wage growth is ridiculously slow, despite our near full employment situation... that African Americans and women are still disadvantaged... and that the wealthiest are accumulating more money than ever.
Really, none of it surprised me. This is one of the issues that boosted Trump into the White House.
It's also a trend I don't see changing much in the near future, thanks to the demographic path we're currently on. And, as I see it, it's a path that doesn't end at a beach resort with perfect weather, an all-you-can-eat buffet, and limitless free cocktails.
