Is that 'poorer' measured in actual USD $, or old Italian lira or pesos or something?

This is American techbro poor, where rampant asset inflation has been occurring ever since the government has been more or less printing money, and now buying corporate bonds (BOJ of course is the ghost of economy future here, having done this since the late triassic).

Not really a purely American problem- everybody else has this too- which is why young people are so pissed everywhere that they have no future.
