It's wild how so many Americans view the outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China over the past 25 years as some devious Chinese plan for domination rather than a strategy by which the American ruling class exploded its profit margin by exploiting global inequality. ~ @tsengputterman

Median Income during Donald Trump's Presidency
Trump loves to talk about how middle class incomes have increased during his presidency—and that was true in his first three years. In September, the Census Bureau released data showing that the median American household earned $68,703 in 2019—up $5,800 or 9% from 2016, after adjusting for inflation. A strong job market helped lift incomes, as more people worked full-time, year-round. And more than 20 states also raised their minimum wage, boosting earnings for low-income workers. Source: CNN
