If the shift from Covid19 stories to riot stories wasn't your clue, the wealth gap stories had just made their appearance again as the economy was set to rebound. Forget all that "we're in this together" nonsense. The Columbus Business Journal has a lock on the article, but you can see the same stories, different characters that were appearing in 2005.
Here's my take. It takes marriage and family backing usually by parents or grandparents to live well. You only need to look as the highest income people in America, and that isn't "whites" as the demographers and dividers like to call people like me. Those would be "Asian," or more specifically Indians, Filipinos, and Japanese Americans. They have the highest marriage rates and strong support from the couples' parents.
I live in a very nice neighborhood with great amenities, good school system, many churches, and good shopping (although not as good as in the 80s since retail chases the money). It would be difficult for a mom with 3 children who does not have a handsome divorce settlement and alimony to live here. However, I would look low income compared to the areas northwest of my community. Wealth gap is relative. I'd look like a pauper compared to Colin Kaepernick and yet he whines about injustice because he didn't get picked for the NFL and wanted his own rules.
