Ten years back, something remarkable happened: the folks earning the least saw their paychecks climb faster than anyone else's in America. Fast forward to today? The script has flipped entirely. Wealthy households are now watching their wages accelerate while lower-income workers fall further behind. That gap? It's not just sitting there—it's actively widening, stretching the distance between America's economic winners and those struggling to keep pace. The reversal is stark, and the trend shows no signs of slowing down.

Wow, ten years ago I could still turn things around, but now it's a direct reverse operation? The foundation is being firmly held down.

Ten years ago, that wave could still pump the bottom wages, but now it has directly reversed? The rich are getting richer, and the poor are running slower and slower; this gap is really skyrocketing...

I don't get it. How did the good things from ten years ago turn around like this? This reversal is just too fast.

Ten years ago, I could still turn things around, but now I'm just lying flat. The script written by the US is absolutely amazing.

Laughing to death, ten years ago the people who had the fastest wage rise were the poor, now it's directly reversed, the rich are earning more, and the wealth gap is getting bigger and bigger, what kind of magical script is this?
