Counter argument. I have also never made this much money. Neither has my boyfriend. We work at a hospital and make decent money. In Oct 2020 we were finally able to get our own apartment. We then moved back in with our old roommate last year. Because we were getting close to being homeless.

People were warning up about the disappearing middle class decades ago. I remember hearing about it in the 90s. And here we are. The wage gap between the top and the bottom has only widened.

How is that in any way a counter argument?

Person 1: Here's a thing about the economy

Person 2: My argument is that I am doing fine, so it is fine

Person 3: I would counter that by saying I am not doing fine, so by Person 2's logic, it is not doing fine, this proving it is not a good argument

Adult conversations aren't for everyone
