The economy is fine! We just have… money dysmorphia. /s

The gaslighting is at warp speed now.

    It also says that people are doing far better than they think according to those who actually service these customers.

      Well I’m not young but I haven’t been able to afford to go to the dentist in twenty years so I’d say that’s quantifiably shitty.

        I’d say you’re using your specific experience to project to everyone else’s.

        I’m middle aged and I’ve always been able to afford dental insurance and go twice a year as recommended.

        Your experience is, indeed, shitty but it’s not an argument dispelling what the article’s experts are saying. It’s just a strawman argument.

            Just because one person has an issue and one doesn’t means nothing to the actual story. But I don’t know why I expect anyone to actually read the articles. Lot to ask, I know.
