The divide: who really profits in today’s economy?

The article discusses the economic divide in the United States, where certain sectors are struggling despite rising costs, while others, like the tech industry, are thriving. The key points are: 1. Broadway shows are failing to make a profit despite rising ticket prices, indicating that the benefits of the increased costs are not reaching the producers. 2. Farmers are facing significant shortfalls, largely due to the impact of Trump's tariffs. 3. The tech industry, on the other hand, is cashing in, suggesting that the economic benefits are disproportionately accruing to the ultra-rich and large corporations. The article suggests that the insistent feeling in the US is that few but the ultra-rich and businesses are making enough money to afford the basics of a comfortable life, while the majority are struggling to make ends meet.
