Diesel is $5 a gallon, groceries are far more expensive, and my home insurance just doubled. Those are just some personal examples that come to mind, but there are many more.
Every metric a working class person uses to measure the health of the economy is abysmal. The only "disconnect" that exists is the one between real people and the fucktard elites we see on TV and in government.
Inflation is going down, but most people think that means prices will go back to what they were. That's not what it means, prices will stay this high, they are just going up more slowly now. If inflation went to 0, that just means prices will stay where they are now, you'd need deflation for prices to go back down, or an increase in wages to match existing increases.

And more importantly, wages have not kept up!

...and once you increase wages, all the prices start going up again.
