      >A K-shaped economy describes a divergent economic recovery where different sectors or income groups move in opposite directions—the wealthy prosper (upper arm) while lower-income households and certain sectors suffer (lower arm).

      this is just describing capitalism

      Basically the gains that the 0.1% had in the past two decades all came from the back of the working class. Pretty clear picture if you look at the chart of wage growth and stock market growth for the past 20 years.

      > Since the pandemic ended, life for the wealthy has been a joyride. Financial markets have been soaring. The TSX has risen 87.5 per cent since January 2020. South of the border, the S&P 500 has risen 111.8 per cent during that same time period.

      It bewilders me at the idea that only the „wealthy“ can be involved in the stock market. People are blowing more on interest per month by financing crap they don’t truely need than what would be required to retire with dignity.

      People pretend they don’t have money to invest meanwhile the average new car payment is well over 500 bucks a month, it’s completely moronic.

      I mean all capitalist countries would be K-shaped. The arms of Canada’s K would just diverge so much that it barely resembles a K anymore

      Fifty years ago. 1976. In Ontario that year, the minimum wage was $2.65/hr, or about 400/month. Welfare paid a single employable adult 180/mo. Disability paid 250/mo The median family household income was about 1400/mo after tax.

      Rent on a 3 bedroom home in the Toronto suburbs was about 250/mo. Such a home could be purchased for about 50,000. A 1 bedroom downtown Toronto rented for about 150 / mo. A cheap single-room occupancy could be had for maybe 80/mo at the most.

      A loaf of bread 0.40, lb ground beef 0.90, gasoline 0.18 / litre, electricity 0.01 per kWh.

      TTC in Toronto cost 50 cents. A new Ford Pinto 4500. A new 14″ colour TV 500.

      Telephone service 15/mo. But calling long distance in province was 0.30 a minute and across the country 1.50 a minute.

      Some things have gotten cheaper for us common people but mostly not.

      To be in the top 1% earner global is 30k to 60k annually.  Still billions of ppl that would love to be Canadian poor vs actual poor.

      You honestly get what you deserve and Canadians just don’t seem to care that they’re being ripped off and treated like slave labor.
      Most of our government are puppets to either the ccp or India or American influence and people dont seem to care enough when 100 years ago they handled these things very differently.

      Right now people should be holding general public strikes, coordinated boycotts targeting one corrupt corporation at a time and using our purchasing power to fight back but we as a country just take it dry over a barrel. The most people do now is argue online.

      I don’t think tptb have ever had people this divided and conquered before in history. Between social media and the bs news from every side it’s a check mate imo.
