I think you will find this to be thought provoking, even though you may not agree with all which they say.
Keep in mind that in the US currently there is a record disparity between the haves and the 'have enough to just get by.'
So when one talks about economic states and statistics, and they are naturally referring to the familiar averages and norms, in fact there may be much fewer people there at the average than usual.
Enjoy.
