We'll see if the people actually get sick and tired of seeing headlines like this while being asked by the same billionaires to donate so families who can barely make rent can eat while free school lunches are canceled.
`The company said their projection is based on taking the average percentage of yearly growth over the past five years and applying it to future years.`
Past results are not an indicator of future performance.
6 months of unemployment payments (if you have worked for at least 6 months and live in a state that doesn't play games with unemployment) is a somewhat cilivized safety net.
While finding a job in a bad economy can certainly be hard, at least you will be able to pay your rent and buy food and plan for the event that you are not able to maintain your current lifestyle.
However our medical insurance situation, unless you are able to qualify for a free/less than $30 per month plan, is really horrific and cannot be justified. If someone is healthy and becomes unemployed, it is not terrible but definitely not good. If you have routine medicines and you are unemployed.... death sentence.

I think this misses self-employed people, under-employed people / people with reduced work hours who are working. It also under-appreciates how difficult it has been for people in even well-meaning states to get through the hurdles of filing.
Is there so little to report that taking the average growth of his wealth for the last 5 years and extrapolating for the next 5 is worthy news? This is an absolutely worthless prediction. How can this be journalism?

This is not news. This is clickbait advertising.
