The point of the video is that "things are getting worse for the working class" is a myth. In that, it's quite correct. What you're arguing is the next point. One thing at a time guys. |
But it isn't a myth entirely, but rather is driven by specificity in terms of end market.
Look man, the video is stupid. It is shallow and not well thought out. So I'll get to the point.
"Things aren't getting worse because cell phones" has nothing to do with college continually becoming out of reach financially. Same goes for medical expenses. People having cell phones has nothing to do with the income gap increasing exponentially.
There are real problems facing the working the class that directly impacts their ability to move up is social class and directly impacts their health. Wanting to improve those areas isn't a bad idea, because "cell phones."
Additionally, and this is what makes the video beyond stupid, the same "logic" can be applied to China. China's general population has more technology in the home today when compared to 100 years ago. Proof communism works, am I right???
Technology is one aspect of "being better off" and cannot be used to extrapolate to a completely unrelated metric. That is like me performing a biologic survey, I count the number of birds and conclude the reptiles are healthy....
