It’s worth keeping tabs on the various elements of elite disconnect with the lives of those they regard as the masses. An obvious one has been the economy, where pundits insist the meal is the menu, and because their preferred measures of labor market health look perky, and inflation has moderated significantly, those who dare say that the natives are unhappy with Biden policies are wrong and/or trying to foment discontent.

Never mind that even if food prices aren’t increasing by much in the US these days, they’ve risen by so much that many still have not adjusted to the higher baseline. Housing is not-to-barely affordable for many. Health care is too pricey and getting more so. And that’s before getting to health care shrinkage via service degradation, such as substitution of less-trained medical professionals for MDs.

Basically everything is falling apart for the working class, and the Democrats want to pretend it's a "messaging" problem.
