like this. Maybe the stock market as well as economic demise of the middle/working class continues, pandemic driven or not.

How is it that home values as reflected in the current real estate market have increased by 50 to 100 percent in many market areas over the past 12 months or so? How is it that the stock market has gone up so much since the lows of March 2020?

Something is out of whack. Worker income has declined over that same period. Has it not?
