People will be broken out of their denial by actual economic growth. That's what this is all meant to be for... I think we might start seeing some surprising numbers.

How do I directly benefit from this supposed "growth"? Seems like its just making things worse for most people.

Would something like "services deflation" even show up in the numbers? That's what I'd expect to happen first

But who benefits from that economic growth? If it's only the capital owning class, and the rest of us are left in the dust, then the growth is irrelevant.

I ,for one, have read enough history to know that it's never the proles who end up benefiting.
