为什么美国人对当前经济的看法大相径庭？
正文翻译
There’s something weird happening with the economy. On a personal level, most Americans say they’re doing pretty well right now. And according to the data, that’s true. Wages have gone up faster than inflation. Unemployment is low, the stock market is generally up so far this year, and people are buying more stuff.
现在的经济状况有些奇怪。在个人层面上，大多数美国人说他们现在做得很好。根据数据，这是真的。工资的增长快于通货膨胀。失业率很低，今年到目前为止股市普遍上涨，人们购买更多的东西。

And yet in surveys, people keep saying the economy is bad. A recent Harris poll for The Guardian found that around half of Americans think the S. & P. 500 is down this year, and that unemployment is at a 50-year high. Fifty-six percent think we’re in a recession.
然而在调查中，人们一直说经济很糟糕。哈里斯最近为《卫报》进行的一项民意调查发现，大约一半的美国人认为标准普尔500指数(s&p 500)今年会下跌，失业率处于50年来的最高水平。56%的人认为我们正处于经济衰退之中。

There are many theories about why this gap exists. Maybe political polarization is warping how people see the economy or it’s a failure of President Biden’s messaging, or there’s just something uniquely painful about inflation. And while there’s truth in all of these, it felt like a piece of the story was missing.
关于为什么会有这种差距，有很多理论。也许政治两极分化正在扭曲人们对经济的看法，或者是拜登总统的信息传递失败，或者只是通货膨胀带来了一些独特的痛苦。虽然所有这些都是真实的，但感觉好像缺少了一部分故事。

And for me, that missing piece was an article I read right before the pandemic. An Atlantic story from February 2020 called “The Great Affordability Crisis Breaking America .” It described how some of Americans’ biggest-ticket expenses — housing, health care, higher education and child care — which were already pricey, had been getting steadily pricier for decades.
对我来说，那缺失的部分是我在大流行之前读到的一篇文章。2020年2月的一个大西洋故事，名为“打破美国的巨大负担能力危机”，它描述了美国人的一些最大的费用——住房，医疗保健，高等教育和儿童保育——已经非常昂贵，几十年来一直在稳步上涨。

At the time, prices weren’t the big topic in the economy; the focus was more on jobs and wages. So it was easier for this trend to slip notice, like a frog boiling in water, quietly, putting more and more strain on American budgets. But today, after years of high inflation, prices are the biggest topic in the economy. And I think that explains the anger people feel: They’re noticing the price of things all the time, and getting hammered with the reality of how expensive these things have become.
当时，价格并不是经济中的大话题，人们更多地关注就业和工资。因此，这种趋势更容易被忽视，就像一只在水中沸腾的青蛙，悄悄地给美国预算带来越来越大的压力。但如今，在经历了多年的高通胀之后，价格是经济中最大的话题。我认为这解释了人们的愤怒：他们一直在注意东西的价格，并被这些东西变得多么昂贵的现实所打击。

The author of that Atlantic piece is Annie Lowrey. She’s an economics reporter,, and also my wife. In this conversation, we discuss how the affordability crisis has collided with our post-pandemic inflationary world, the forces that shape our economic perceptions, why people keep spending as if prices aren’t a strain and what this might mean for the presidential election.
《大西洋月刊》的作者是安妮·劳瑞。她是一名经济学记者，也是我的妻子，在这次谈话中，我们讨论了负担能力危机如何与我们的后流行性通货膨胀世界发生冲突，塑造我们经济观念的力量，为什么人们继续消费，好像价格不是一种压力，以及这对总统选举可能意味着什么。

Absolutely. And with the fear of not being able to retire comfortably, people might be tempted to make risky investments or neglect proper financial planning, which could spell trouble for their portfolios in the long run.
完全正确。由于担心无法安稳退休，人们可能会冒险投资或忽视适当的财务规划，这从长远来看可能会给他们的投资组合带来麻烦。

It's a vicious cycle. If people can't afford homes, they might delay retirement savings, but if they focus solely on saving for retirement without considering their housing situation, they might miss out on potential investment opportunities.
这是一个恶性循环。如果人们买不起房子，他们可能会推迟退休储蓄，但如果他们只专注于为退休储蓄而不考虑住房情况，他们可能会错过潜在的投资机会。

Most times it all comes down to proper financial planning cause most people don’t realize how important financial planners are until they messed up. Staying productive with the latest strategies and analysis really pays off. With professional help I turned $220k into $880k despite the market ups and downs.
大多数时候，这都归结于适当的财务规划，因为大多数人直到搞砸了才意识到财务规划师的重要性。保持最新的策略和分析真的很有回报。在专业帮助下，我把22万美元变成了88万美元，尽管市场有涨有跌。

that in competitive markets businesses are not price setters but price takers. The fact that businesses are setting prices higher because they can reflects that the markets are not accepting new competitors, because there is a vision of profit, and existing businesses in the market have political or otherwise power to set prices. Home insurance market, pharmaceuticals, defense industry, Medical insurance…. The list goes on and on. We have just had 44 years of suppression of the enforcement of Anti Trust Laws.
在竞争性市场中，企业不是价格制定者而是价格接受者。企业提高价格的事实反映出市场不接受新竞争者，因为有利润的前景，而市场上的现有企业有政治或其他权力来制定价格。房屋保险市场、制药业、国防工业、医疗保险……名单还在继续。我们刚刚经历了44年反托拉斯法的执行被压制的情况。

How to do business like an American corporation-
Step 1: Buy politicians and lobby for regulations, tariffs, and subsidies to protect your monopoly and destroy domestic competition
Step 2: Cut costs by using cheaper materials and ingredients, cut employee wages and compensation, and refuse to innovate or do R&D so you can maximize shareholder value
Step 3: Outsource any remaining American jobs to the developing world and hire immigrants to work for less
Step 4: Act bewildered and wonder why line no go up when you gut your business operations and destroy the buying power of the American consumer at the expense of shareholder value
Step 5: Cry for more tariffs and regulations when China (or any competitor) surpasses the value offered by shoddy American products and services
Step 6: Lobby to weaponize the US dollar when other countries refuse to be exploited
Step 7: Watch American industry wither and die and the economy implode
Step 8: Blame China
像美国公司那样做生意的方法——
第一步：收买政客并游说法规、关税和补贴以保护你的垄断并摧毁国内竞争
第二步：通过使用更便宜的材料和成分来削减成本，削减员工工资和补偿，拒绝创新或研发，以最大化股东价值
第三步：将剩余的美国工作外包给发展中国家，雇佣移民以较低的工资工作
第四步：当你削减业务运营并以牺牲美国消费者购买力为代价来最大化股东价值时，装作困惑并想知道为什么业绩线没有上升
第五步：当中国（或任何竞争对手）超过劣质美国产品和服务提供的价值时，哭喊要求更多的关税和法规
第六步：当其他国家拒绝被剥削时，游说将美元武器化
第七步：看着美国工业枯萎，经济崩溃
第八步：指责中国

Economists and media keep telling us that the economy is fantastic, but we can't afford anything, so then they just tell us we're bad with money. Executives and landlords are cheering them on while raising prices and rent. You don't need a new economic theory to explain this, it's painfully obvious.
经济学家和媒体不断告诉我们经济很好，但我们什么都负担不起，然后他们只是告诉我们我们不会理财。高管和房东在涨价和加租的同时为他们欢呼。你不需要新的经济理论来解释这一点，这是显而易见的。

Some things you might be interested in looking at are historic housing prices. Look at cities. In my case, while things have levelled off, my house in Colorado Springs more than doubled in value from 2016 to 2020. Rents have followed suit. Inflation? I suggest you look at historical inflation in France, Germany, England, pick five random first-world countries.
Yeah, Biden failed in some areas. Every president fails in some ways. Maybe an autocracy would help? Look at Hungary, Turkey, other places of your choice. Ignore things like Duerted massacring homosexuals and focus on the benefits.
Keep in mind the saying, "when the Fed taps on the brakes, someone goes through the windshield". Do some research. Don't just focus on USA.
你可能感兴趣的一些事情是历史房价。看看城市。就我而言，虽然情况已经稳定下来，但我在科罗拉多斯普林斯的房子从2016年到2020年价值翻了一倍多。租金也随之上涨。通货膨胀？我建议你看看法国、德国、英格兰的历史通胀，随便挑五个发达国家。
是的，拜登在某些方面失败了。每个总统在某些方面都会失败。也许专制会有帮助？看看匈牙利、土耳其，你选择的其他地方。忽略像杜尔特杀害同性恋这样的事情，专注于好处。
记住这句话，“当美联储踩刹车时，有人会撞上挡风玻璃”。做一些研究。不要只关注美国。

You rely on false data. Unemployment does not measure people who are not looking for work. Those who have given up looking for work and are not registered at a state unemployment office are not counted. Housing costs are not in the measure of inflation. Millions work for minimum wage which is not a livable wage. College costs are not included. Moreover, people harken back to the 50s when one income could support a family. Wages have been stagnant for a long time.
你依赖错误的数据。失业率没有衡量那些不找工作的人。那些放弃找工作并且没有在州失业办公室登记的人不被计算在内。住房成本不在通货膨胀的衡量范围内。数百万人以最低工资工作，而最低工资无法维持生计。大学费用不包括在内。此外，人们回想起50年代，当时一个收入可以养家糊口。工资长期停滞不前。

我和一个50岁的家伙聊过，他拥有一家承包商业务，建造柱状建筑和谷仓。他说他太忙了，不会再接电话了。他接下来谈论的是国家如何走向地狱。他忙于赚钱，不接电话，却认为国家走向地狱。这恰恰说明了媒体的力量。
I talked to a 50 years old guy who owns a contractor business building pole buildings and barns. He said he was so busy he won't answer the phone anymore.

My plumber said the same thing, but he also said that 80% of his business is to fix poor quality band-aid jobs done by the last plumber. And just because the barn building business is booming doesnt mean all sectors of the economy are booming.
我的水管工也说了同样的话，但他还说他80%的业务是修复上一个水管工做的质量差的临时修补工作。而且，仅仅因为谷仓建筑业务蓬勃发展并不意味着所有经济部门都在蓬勃发展。

Biden should say: "me and Obama made the 2010's great economy, Trump inherited it, then screwed it up by not taking the pandemic seriously because he doesn't listen to the experts. Now I'm cleaning up his mess."
拜登应该说：“我和奥巴马创造了2010年代的伟大经济，特朗普继承了它，然后因为他不听专家的话而没有认真对待疫情，把它搞砸了。现在我在收拾他的烂摊子。”

The biggest line item on everyones budget (especially younger people) is their rent/mortgage. Housing prices have gone up drastically. So yeah you might have gotten a 7% raise and your 401k is doing OK but big goals like home ownership and starting a family are getting more and more out of reach.
每个人预算中最大的一项（尤其是年轻人）是他们的租金/抵押贷款。房价大幅上涨。所以是的，你可能得到了7%的加薪，你的401k也还可以，但拥有房子和组建家庭这样的重大目标越来越难以实现。

Indeed. And these are some of the main reasons that people aren't having kids, and the birthrate is well below replacement. We'll be looking at a cratering population--just when the worst effects of climate change are hitting us, I think!
确实如此。这些是人们不生孩子的主要原因之一，出生率远低于更替水平。我认为，当气候变化的最坏影响袭击我们时，我们将面临人口暴跌的问题！

When will someone write an article that captures mortgages in 2024? Visual Capitalist took a step in the right direction by comparing median house price to median household income (the ratio by year). That's good for the third of home buyers that buy in cash (probably trading up to a nicer house).
They should compare the ratio of lifetime mortgage cost (principle + interest) to median household income. Or, annual new mortgage cost as a share of annual median household income.
什么时候会有人写一篇文章，谈一谈2024年的抵押贷款情况？视觉资本家通过比较中位房价和中位家庭收入（按年份的比例）朝着正确的方向迈出了一步。对于三分之一的现金购房者（可能换一栋更好的房子）来说，这很好。
他们应该比较终身抵押贷款成本（本金+利息）与中位家庭收入的比例。或者，年度新抵押贷款成本占年度中位家庭收入的比例。

A CEO of a hardware supply company said to me we raised prices (and our margins) significantly during the pandemic and we're not backing down. Or as an economist would say, prices are sticky and slow to adjust, meaning they do not respond quickly to changes in supply and demand. Just walk around a Home Depot or Lowes and prices haven't dropped even as the pandemic ended and supply chains recovered.
一家硬件供应公司的CEO对我说，我们在疫情期间大幅提高了价格（和利润率），我们不会退缩。或者用经济学家的话来说，价格具有粘性并且调整缓慢，这意味着它们不会迅速对供需变化做出反应。只需在Home Depot或Lowes走一圈，即使疫情结束，供应链恢复，价格也没有下降。

Inflation is a direct result of income inequality. Simple math, those with extra money buy assets and that raises rents and mortgages. Same with equities (as CEOs raise prices to get the P/E into less crazy territory).... Without tax there is no mechanism to remove money.
通货膨胀是收入不平等的直接结果。简单的数学，有多余钱的人购买资产，这就抬高了租金和抵押贷款。股票也是如此（因为CEO提高价格以使市盈率进入不那么疯狂的领域）……没有税收就没有机制来移除资金。

Inflation is a major factor in higher prices and lower profits.
You can be insolvent and very very busy.

通货膨胀是价格上涨和利润下降的主要因素。
你可能忙得不可开交，但仍然无力偿债。

The hard news orgs still do a pretty good job: Reuters, AP, BBC, and many local newspapers.
Turn off cable news channels; it is often opinions-first infotainment. Don't use an article written by the summer intern or an opinion columnist to paint the whole news company with a broad brush. Beat reporters--like traffic reporters who have covered the same thing for years--have a good idea what is going on in their specialty. The specialization creates value for the reader.

Every year, my Social Security check is increased. Then, my Medicare premiums go up by an amount equal to the increase in my Social Security check. So an extra $100.00 per month comes in, then it goes right back out, then I have to pay income tax on the $100.00. Thus, I end up poorer after getting a raise.
Why would anyone be surprised that I am mad?
每年，我的社保支票都会增加。然后，我的医疗保险保费上涨的金额等于我的社保支票增加的金额。因此，每月多出100美元，然后它又马上流出，然后我必须为这100美元支付所得税。因此，加薪后我反而变得更穷。
为什么有人会对我生气感到惊讶呢？

what has not been talked about is drilling into unemployment more. More specifically, UNDER-employment. Yeah sure unemployment (by the survey's limited qualifiers) is low. But... The quality of jobs has gotten worse. The gig economy and part time job economy is lowering these unemployment numbers, while screwing the workers whose total compensation is terrible (no benefits). Additionally, we have companies going more lean (see tech layoffs) to squeeze profits. We have a white collar job recession. Unemployment may be relatively low, but the quality of jobs is trash.
还没有讨论更多的失业问题。更具体地说，是就业不足。是的，按调查的有限资格，失业率很低。但是……工作的质量变得更差。零工经济和兼职经济正在降低这些失业数据，同时搞垮了那些总薪酬很差（没有福利）的工人。此外，我们还有公司在裁员（见科技行业裁员）以压榨利润。我们有一个白领工作衰退。失业率可能相对较低，但工作的质量很差。

I agree with this completely. You're only as secure as your current job, and you can't count on keeping it, because you can be laid off at a whim. Corporate management likes to tell you that your career is under your control, but that like most of what corporate America peddles, is a lie.

Low tax rates on wealthy investors mean they search for investment opportunities like buying up housing and renting it out to you. That lowers the supply and keeps those assets up in price.
It's all about wealth inequality.
对富有投资者的低税率意味着他们寻找投资机会，比如购买房屋并出租给你。这降低了供应量，并保持这些资产的价格上涨。
这一切都与财富不平等有关。

@MrSteeDoo No, in my little town and in the big city, people bought up the homes at 0% and at 5.5%. If they could flip or rent the homes for less than the cost to own the home they do. A hard working handy man who can fix up or maintain homes will buy a second home as income and investment. He is not rich. He is merely making money on his skill. The rich guy who rents his house may chose Vegas vacations instead of saving. Nothing in the bank, but he has a high paying job. Wealth inequity will always grow because zero is flat and some people always make and have zero. With inflation, others will make and have more. So depression is the only way to cause wealth equity, everyone has zero. But as long as there are more and more government employees, they always benefit when high taxes and depression kill everyone who does not make money through the government.
不，在我的小镇和大城市，人们以0%和5.5%的利率买房。如果他们可以翻新或出租房屋的成本低于拥有房屋的成本，他们会这样做。一个勤劳的手工艺人可以修理或维护房屋，会购买第二套房作为收入和投资。他不富有。他只是靠自己的技能赚钱。那个出租房子的有钱人可能会选择去拉斯维加斯度假而不是储蓄。银行里没有钱，但他有一份高薪工作。财富不平等将永远增长，因为零是平的，有些人总是挣零或拥有零。随着通货膨胀，其他人会挣更多。所以萧条是导致财富平等的唯一途径，每个人都没有。只要政府雇员越来越多，当高税收和萧条杀死所有不通过政府赚钱的人时，他们总是受益。

Politics determines how wealth is distributed within a country, while wars and diplomacy determine how wealth is distributed between countries.
The citizens of the world's richest country with the most expensive military are enjoying these benefits: Economic inequality, inflation, stagnant real wages for the last fifty years, costly healthcare, an expensive education system, student loan debt totaling $1.7 trillion with an average balance of $38,000, poor public transportation systems, racial inequality, mass incarceration, the militarization of police, deteriorating infrastructure, housing affordability, homelessness, the opioid epidemic, and gun violence.
Instead of prioritizing the welfare of its people, the US meddles in other countries to spread its version of democracy.
政治决定了一个国家内部的财富分配，而战争和外交决定了国家之间的财富分配。
世界上最富有的国家，拥有最昂贵的军事力量，其公民正在享受这些好处：经济不平等、通货膨胀、过去五十年实际工资停滞、昂贵的医疗保健、昂贵的教育体系、总计1.7万亿美元的学生贷款债务，平均余额为3.8万美元、糟糕的公共交通系统、种族不平等、大规模监禁、警察军事化、基础设施恶化、住房负担能力差、无家可归、阿片类药物流行和枪支暴力。
美国没有优先考虑其人民的福利，而是干涉其他国家，传播其版本的民主。

Education, health, housing, and child care are the difficult to globalize sectors. They increased in price relative to everything else because they could not be off-shored to China. In addition to being domestically anchored, they are the traditionally feminized sectors, which are ‘care’ services, requiring emotional ‘work’, and human connection. Until the 20th century, these social needs were met as part of household management, as gendered work. Often this was supplemented by the church delivering services to local communities. In most advanced economies, as religion declined in importance and women joined the workforce, welfare states took over responsibility for those sectors, and transformed them into modern public services.
教育、医疗、住房和儿童保育是难以全球化的部门。它们的价格相对于其他所有东西都上涨了，因为它们不能被外包到中国。除了在国内有基础外，它们还是传统上女性化的部门，是需要情感“工作”和人际联系的“关怀”服务。直到20世纪，这些社会需求作为家庭管理的一部分得到满足，作为性别化的工作。通常，教会提供的服务补充了当地社区。在大多数发达经济体中，随着宗教重要性的下降和女性进入劳动力市场，福利国家接管了这些部门的责任，并将其转变为现代公共服务。

@Rnankn Accurate. In America, the rearing of healthy, well socialized, educated and emotionally intelligent, emotionally stable children is dued as are the roles around caregiving and mental health. I would like to see a change. There is too much emphasis on pure economics, not enough on well being and human flourishing.
准确。在美国，抚养健康的、社会化良好的、受过教育的、情商高的、情绪稳定的孩子的价值被贬低了，照顾和心理健康的角色也是如此。我希望看到改变。过于强调纯经济，而不是福祉和人类的繁荣。

Part of the problem... Our brains are distorted by the flood of social media that constantly shows us friends on holiday, buying something cool, having a great meal, attending a concert or other exciting event. We see the icing on their cake, not the reality of their workdays, childcare, housework, etc. But we are fooled, and feel less-than.
问题的一部分……我们的脑子被社交媒体的洪流扭曲了，社交媒体不断向我们展示朋友们度假、买酷东西、吃美食、参加音乐会或其他令人兴奋的活动。我们看到的是他们蛋糕上的糖霜，而不是他们工作日、育儿、家务等的现实。但我们被欺骗了，感到自卑。

an exile Russian talked about what is happening inside Russia right now. Basically, he said that the wealth in Russia was going to the war and to the oligarchs who kept Putin in Power. This left no money for the ordinary citizens. The same thing is happening here just slower and in a less dramatic fashion. There is only so much money, and as the inequality increases -- i.e. the rich get richer, the money has to come from somewhere. Where it comes from is the ordinary citizens who gets poorer.
一位流亡的俄罗斯人谈论了俄罗斯现在的情况。基本上，他说俄罗斯的财富都用于战争和维持普京掌权的寡头。这使得普通市民没有钱。同样的事情也在这里发生，只是速度较慢，戏剧性较低。钱是有限的，随着不平等加剧——也就是说，富人更富，这些钱必须来自某个地方。这些钱来自变得更穷的普通市民。

We have WORSE health outcomes than Europe. We do not have a real budget deficit. We have homelessness, poor health care, etc. because our elected officials in WA knowingly refuse to finance basic needs. We have unused economic resources and we knowingly do not use them. Modern monetary theory tells the story and apparently you guys can't afford the time or energy, despite your jobs, to learn about it.

Americans are always caught between their belief in 'entitlement' for 'cheap goods' and their belief that Business should be deregulated and government should not interfere with Business. This produces an insane economy. 'Cheap goods' come from overseas countries with 'cheap labor' and often no environmental concerns. On the other hand, there is a belief that everything should be privatized to keep government out of our business ... so to speak. And, the business model of Business shifted to profits for shareholders and high CEO salaries and therefore, prices such as medical care, housing, and child-care all become 'for-profit' and not for wellness or affordability and therefore off the wall expensive. When everything is 'privatized' with such a business model, then expect to have your money sucked out and aggregated upwards.
美国人总是陷入“享有廉价商品”和“企业应当放松管制，政府不应干预企业”的理念之间。这导致了一个疯狂的经济。“廉价商品”来自“廉价劳动力”的海外国家，而且往往没有环境问题。另一方面，人们认为一切都应该私有化，以便政府不干预我们的事务……可以这么说。而且，企业的商业模式转向股东利润和高管薪酬，因此，医疗、住房和儿童保育等价格都变成了“盈利性”而不是为了健康或负担得起，因此价格高得离谱。当一切都以这种商业模式私有化时，预计你的钱会被吸走并向上聚集。

I'll slow you one stat from my county where I live that's more than makes up for any reduced inflation or even dropping in prices. Home in my county (very poor area in northern NY) went from avg of $78k to just under $200k in 3 years and mortgage rates doubled and housing inventory is down 92%. So that means the average mortgage here went from $330 a month in 2020 to $1,500 a month in 2024 and it's actually worse than that because there's no homes for sale in the market of home I would be looking at buying would would have been in the rage of $225,000 before the pandemic and now it's $600,000 even up here. So the mortgage on a house I would have got would have been about $900 a month now it's about $4,500 a month and insurance and tax's would be much higher as well. So no the lower of the gain in inflation doesn't do anything compared to that. But anyone that owns assets like a home with a 2.8% mortgage like all my older siblings they all got almost a half million dollars in equity gained in their house some even more in my home state of Massachusetts for doing nothing..
让我慢慢告诉你一个我所在县的统计数据，这个数据足以弥补任何减少的通货膨胀甚至价格下跌。我所在县（纽约北部非常贫困的地区）的房价在三年内从平均7.8万美元涨到刚刚低于20万美元，抵押贷款利率翻了一番，房屋库存下降了92%。这意味着这里的平均抵押贷款从2020年的每月330美元涨到2024年的每月1500美元，实际上情况更糟，因为在我看房的市场上没有房子出售，疫情前价格会在22.5万美元左右，现在甚至在这里也涨到了60万美元。所以我本来可以买的房子的抵押贷款大约是每月900美元，现在大约是每月4500美元，而且保险和税收也会高得多。因此，通货膨胀的降低与此相比毫无意义。但任何拥有资产的人，比如拥有2.8%抵押贷款的房子，就像我所有年长的兄弟姐妹一样，他们都在房屋中获得了近50万美元的权益，有些人在我的家乡马萨诸塞州甚至更多，而他们什么都没做。

termites. Not literal termites, but economic termites: businesses that worm their way into some small niche of the economy and start slowly devouring it. A lot of this has been made possible by the abandonment of antitrust policy by the Reagan administration. Considering that businesses can now just buy up all their competitors, it's not surprising that prices are stubbornly high.
白蚁。不是真正的白蚁，而是经济白蚁：企业蚕食经济中的某个小利基市场并开始慢慢吞噬它。这在很大程度上是由于里根政府放弃了反垄断政策。考虑到企业现在可以收购所有竞争对手，价格顽固地居高不下也就不足为奇了。

We have not yet come to grips with the elephant in the housing market.
Homeowners have both the political power and the financial incentive to restrict supply and drive up prices. Universal homeownership is a chimera, and a particularly destructive one to pursue, because once a majority of people own homes, they can shut down construction for the rest. And that is exactly what has happened. The result has been a massive transfer of wealth from younger generations to the Boomers.
There is no way to keep housing affordable in the long run except to limit homeownership to about 1/3 of the population. If 2/3 of people rent, they will demand sufficient construction.
我们还没有真正解决住房市场中的大问题。
房主既有政治权力又有经济激励来限制供应并推高价格。全民拥有住房是一种幻想，而且是一种特别具有破坏性的追求，因为一旦大多数人拥有房屋，他们就可以停止其余的建设。这正是发生的事情。结果是财富从年轻一代大规模转移到婴儿潮一代。
从长远来看，除了将房屋所有权限制在大约三分之一的人口外，没有其他办法可以保持住房的负担能力。如果三分之二的人租房，他们将要求足够的建设。

The cost of a mortgage, the rising interest rates for loans of any kind, the cost of insurance for both homes and cars, have skyrocketed; I can't really say the same about wages. As someone on the lowest end of the wage scale I can tell you that despite what Ezra says, my wages have NOT kept pace with my rent, my car payment, my insurance, gasoline, the groceries, etc etc. I'm not young and not looking to buy a home at this point, but any thought I had of retiring has vanished along with my 401k. I'm not alone. I'm part of a growing segment of the population. And we are NOT being discussed here - it's like we don't exist or they think we're making this up. But you can't, you know. You can't make this up.
抵押贷款成本、任何类型贷款的利率上升、房屋和汽车保险成本都飙升了；我不能说工资也一样。作为工资最低端的人，我可以告诉你，尽管Ezra这么说，但我的工资并没有跟上我的房租、车贷、保险、汽油、食品杂货等的步伐。我不年轻，目前也不打算买房，但我曾经考虑过的退休计划已经随着我的401k消失了。我不是一个人。我是人口中一个不断增长的部分。我们在这里没有被讨论——好像我们不存在，或者他们认为我们在编造故事。但你不能，你知道的。你不能编造这些。

Greedflation is a huge problem when the goods and services in question are necessary goods. I'm poor enough that I spend all of my money, living paycheck to paycheck. As prices for everything rose, I had to put the excess cost of my life on credit cards. That debt still exists even as things change for the better (not nearly fast enough).
当所涉及的商品和服务是必需品时，贪婪通胀是一个大问题。我足够穷，我花光了所有的钱，靠薪水生活。随着一切价格的上涨，我不得不把生活的额外成本放在信用卡上。即使情况有所好转（速度不够快），这些债务仍然存在。

Builders are concentrating on building apartment units and senior multi housing units. Health care costs going up while we send billions of money to other countries. We need to take care of Americans first. One reason why Americans are pissed off. As far as food, we have too many individuals having children who can barely take care of themselves, yet they expect society to help feed their children.
建筑商专注于建造公寓单元和老年人多户住宅单元。医疗费用上涨，而我们向其他国家送出数十亿美元。我们需要首先照顾美国人。这就是美国人生气的原因之一。至于食品，我们有太多个人有孩子，他们几乎无法照顾自己，但他们期望社会帮助养活他们的孩子。

Fascinating discussion - my perspective (I am 69): Your discussion was rife with comments about interest rates as being really high. Well it depends how old you are. My parents (who lived through the Depression) bought their first home after WWII and paid 6% interest! During my working life interest rates were NEVER that low and were 10-19% for cars, housing, education borrowing, etc. I lived through what was thought at the time to be very high unemployment - 8%. Now we have 3.2% unemployment. The recent home loans for 4% were an amazing gift to me. I chased (kept refinancing) my home loans while they went down -how low can they go? Now they have bottomed out and have gone up a small amount. 5% home loans are a huge gift (if you are 69). My two oldest children have bought homes with 4-5.5% notes. They think they are very high interest rates. I do understand but both myself and my children are in the same economy and have different perspectives.
引人入胜的讨论——我的观点（我69岁）：你的讨论充满了关于利率非常高的评论。好吧，这取决于你的年龄。我父母（经历过大萧条的人）在二战后购买了他们的第一套房子，并支付了6%的利息！在我的工作生涯中，利率从未如此之低，汽车、住房、教育借款等的利率为10-19%。我经历了当时被认为是非常高的失业率——8%。现在我们的失业率是3.2%。最近的4%的住房贷款对我来说是一个惊人的礼物。我在利率下降时不断重新贷款——它们能降到多低？现在它们已经见底，并略有上涨。5%的住房贷款是一个巨大的礼物（如果你是69岁）。我的两个大孩子以4-5.5%的利率买了房子。他们认为利率非常高。我理解，但我和我的孩子们在同一个经济体中，却有不同的看法。

For younger and/or lower income people, the situation is horrible for the upward life trajectory that they might expect. Even if the jobs/wage data is 100% as wonderful as it's made out to be, those aren't even close to making up the gap in housing costs and interest rates. The stock market also doesn't really matter unless you have tens of thousands to throw at 1 or 2 tech stocks.
This is also likely the main reason why Biden is losing lower income minority voters. It's aspirational.
对于年轻人和/或低收入人群来说，他们可能预期的向上生活轨迹的情况是可怕的。即使工作/工资数据是100%美好的，也无法弥补住房成本和利率的差距。除非你有数万美元投入1或2只科技股，否则股市也不重要。
这也可能是拜登失去低收入少数族裔选民的主要原因。这是有抱负的。

Trickle down economics and trickle down morality in religion are based on the patron-client relationship, or the divine right of power to control the good fortunes of dependents, jobs from corporations and self-righteousness privilege from God. Neither are based on the natural rights of humanity to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness (a good life well lived).

Swedish tax rates on lower middle class people are 3x higher that's the trade off. Child care is very simple there are over a billion woman around the world that would love to come to America with a special worker visa and make $15 per hour. Like the Au Pair programs when they live with the family and get all the expenses paid are the best example. But no that's illegal. There is no way you can pay childcare workers more and lower the cost to parents unless childcare workers become much more productive and that's not going to happen. Or you can subsidize it like Sweden does but we still have the pay the same amount for it just through our taxes. We already have a labor shortage and childcare is pretty low productivity and low paying so no way you will get enough workers if your only hiring Americans. It's unsolvable unless you get workers from outside of America.
对低收入中产阶级的瑞典税率是美国的三倍，这是权衡。儿童保育非常简单，世界上有超过十亿的女性愿意持特殊工作签证来美国，每小时赚15美元。像互惠生计划，当他们与家庭同住并支付所有费用时，就是最好的例子。但不，这是非法的。除非儿童保育工作者变得更有生产力，否则你不可能支付更多的费用给儿童保育工作者并降低父母的成本，这不可能发生。或者你可以像瑞典那样补贴它，但我们仍然通过税收支付相同的费用。我们已经有劳动力短缺的问题，儿童保育的生产率和工资都很低，所以如果你只雇用美国人，你不可能找到足够的工人。除非你从美国以外的地方找到工人，否则这是无法解决的。

While that is no small amount for most consumers, producing the phone in America would cost more than double. One report found that producing an iPhone in the U.S. would cost around $2,400.
虽然这对大多数消费者来说不是一笔小数目，但在美国生产手机的成本将是现在的两倍多。一份报告发现，在美国生产一部iPhone的成本约为2400美元。

I live in one of the most affordable apartment buildings in my city (that isn’t designated for low income). Here’s the thing, though… I’m not low income. I earn $90k or more per year. The rent is comfortable for my budget ($1,800/ month).
I have no idea how people are able to afford the average rent in my area for 2 bedroom apartments is around $2300 a month. Obviously, I could afford a higher priced unit, but I need to save for retirement and I’m over 50 so health insurance is quite expensive for my age demographic.
我住在我市最实惠的公寓楼之一（不是专为低收入者设计的）。但是，我并不低收入。我每年赚9万美元或更多。这个租金对我的预算来说很合适（每月1800美元）。
我不知道人们是如何负担得起我所在地区两居室公寓的平均租金大约为每月2300美元的。显然，我可以负担更高价位的单元，但我需要为退休储蓄，而且我已经超过50岁，所以健康保险对我的年龄段来说相当昂贵。

I seriously have no idea how people can afford rents on larger properties. Like, how many people in my region are earning more than $150,000 a year? With housing prices rising to a median of $500k and rents being about $4-5k per month for a family sized home, something isn’t adding up.
我真的不知道人们如何负担得起更大物业的租金。比如，我所在地区有多少人年收入超过15万美元？随着房价中位数上涨到50万美元，家庭住房的租金大约为每月4-5千美元，有些东西不对劲。

People will buy what they need. If people don't buy things that they don't need until two weeks or two months later, how is that a problem? It's only a problem in a world where natural wealth is not shared. [Not sharing natural wealth means that poor people get EVEN poorer, as the rich get richer due to their heightened ability to maneuver into the most advantageous positions from which to gain more wealth / exploit a free ride on the Commons. (We are not accounting for externalities, so much of the opportunity the economy provides for amassing wealth / making profit is related to instances where environmental costs are foisted onto the larger society, future generations and the larger community of life.)]
人们会买他们需要的东西。如果人们不买他们不需要的东西，直到两周或两个月后，这有什么问题吗？只有在自然财富不共享的世界里才是问题。[不共享自然财富意味着穷人变得更穷，因为富人由于他们更能操纵到最有利的地位来获得更多财富/利用公共资源的免费机会而变得更富。（我们没有考虑外部性，因此经济提供的积累财富/盈利的许多机会都与环境成本被推给更大的社会、后代和更大的生命共同体有关。）]

IF natural wealth were shared, people would be assured of a substantial minimum. There would be less pressure on central banks to 'juice the economy' by boosting the money supply. The system could be dynamically stable without manipulation of interest rates by government, if natural wealth were shared.
如果自然财富是共享的，人们将保证有一个实质性的最低标准。中央银行将减少通过增加货币供应量来“刺激经济”的压力。如果自然财富是共享的，系统可以在不通过政府操纵利率的情况下实现动态稳定。

Prices are going up because there is not enough competition and too much regulatory capture by companies through lobbying. The government can’t afford to spend more on social services because the defense budget sucks out about half of government receipts. America could make different choices if the political will was there. Political parties seem more interested in culture wars and manufactured problems than solving actual problems faced by ordinary people. There is a general lack of clarity on cause, effect and possible solutions.
价格上涨是因为竞争不足，企业通过游说获得了太多的监管控制。政府不能在社会服务上花更多的钱，因为国防预算耗尽了大约一半的政府收入。如果有政治意愿，美国可以做出不同的选择。政党似乎更感兴趣于文化战争和人为制造的问题，而不是解决普通人面临的实际问题。对原因、影响和可能的解决方案普遍缺乏清晰认识。

This is the best good faith conversation I've heard regarding the current state of our economy. I feel Biden's issue with taking advantage of good economic numbers is the following: capitalism works really well if you're rich or upper middle class. It does not work well for you if you happen to be poor or lower middle class. The stock market being at an all-time high doesn't really matter if you don't own any stocks. Housing prices going through the roof was pretty great if you already owned a house...not great otherwise.
这是我听过的关于我们当前经济状况的最诚实的对话。我觉得拜登利用良好的经济数据的问题如下：如果你是富人或中上阶层，资本主义运作得很好。如果你恰好是穷人或中下阶层，它对你来说并不好。股市创历史新高并不重要，如果你没有任何股票。房价飙升如果你已经拥有房子是很好的……否则就不好了。

The idea that greedflation is off the mark because it implies something evil about corporations only holds up if one believes that capitalism is not somewhat evil in and of itself. It might be a necessary evil—I don’t know enough economics to say whether other systems could work adequately at the scale of industrial societies—but capitalism provides considerable incentives for the people and organizations which comprise it to behave in ways that are morally repugnant. That’s why, for example, selling organs for transplant had to be outlawed, and why Medicaid provides free dialysis for people with inadequate kidney function (because otherwise survival to reach the front of the transplant queue would be determined by ability to pay). At least as presently constituted, capitalism doesn’t price in externalities like ‘people dying from circumstances imposed on them by others’, and by default punishes entities that would prefer not to create harmful externalities by making them less competitive. That’s evil, plain and simple.
认为贪婪通胀观点偏离目标的想法是因为它暗示了企业的邪恶，只有在相信资本主义本身不是某种程度上的邪恶时才成立。这可能是一种必要的邪恶——我对经济学了解不足，无法说其他系统在工业社会规模上是否能够充分运作——但资本主义为组成它的人和组织提供了相当大的激励，以道德上令人厌恶的方式行事。这就是为什么，例如，卖器官移植必须被禁止，以及为什么医疗补助为肾功能不足的人提供免费透析（否则到达移植队列前线的生存机会将由支付能力决定）。至少在目前的情况下，资本主义没有将外部性如“人们因他人强加的环境而死亡”纳入价格，并且默认惩罚那些不愿制造有害外部性的实体，使它们的竞争力下降。这是邪恶的，简单明了。

认为贪婪通胀观点偏离目标的想法是因为它暗示了企业的邪恶，只有在相信资本主义本身不是某种程度上的邪恶时才成立。这可能是一种必要的邪恶——我对经济学了解不足，无法说其他系统在工业社会规模上是否能够充分运作——但资本主义为组成它的人和组织提供了相当大的激励，以道德上令人厌恶的方式行事。这就是为什么，例如，卖器官移植必须被禁止，以及为什么医疗补助为肾功能不足的人提供免费透析（否则到达移植队列前线的生存机会将由支付能力决定）。至少在目前的情况下，资本主义没有将外部性如“人们因他人强加的环境而死亡”纳入价格，并且默认惩罚那些不愿制造有害外部性的实体，使它们的竞争力下降。这是邪恶的，简单明了。

Also. I will believe that the economy is “good” for ordinary Americans when poor and working-class people in my city don’t commonly live in shantytowns.
此外，当我所在城市的穷人和工人阶级不再普遍住在贫民窟时，我才会相信经济对普通美国人来说是“好的”。

Telling us what we already know. Even when inflation comes down the price of goods remain at the same higher price; example car insurance has gone up some 30% over the last few years.
告诉我们已经知道的事情。即使通货膨胀下降，商品价格仍保持在同样的高价；例如，汽车保险在过去几年上涨了约30%。

One of the problems with inflation is that a person's wage increases lag monthly cost increases. At the end of the year, the company owner looks at your paycheck, says, "inflation has been 6% this year, and we'll throw in a 2% raise". Well, for 364 days of the year you've been running your household on last year's wages but prices have gone up 6%. Not only that, your savings account, which last I looked gains less than 1%/year, has lost 5% of its value.
通货膨胀的一个问题是，一个人的工资增长滞后于每月成本的增加。在年底，公司老板看着你的薪水说，“今年通货膨胀率为6%，我们将增加2%的工资”。好吧，全年364天你用去年的工资维持家计，但价格上涨了6%。不仅如此，你的储蓄账户，最近我看到的年收益不到1%，已经失去了5%的价值。

If you are spending more while your income lags then you are a fool.
You can complain all you want but for RIGHT NOW you need to cut spending. Maybe skip getting that sweet new tattoo? How about skipping the daily $7 lattes? How about learning how to make your own sandwich at home instead of eating out? How about giving plasma to build up an emergency fund?
如果你的收入落后而你还在花更多的钱，那么你就是个傻瓜。
你可以尽情抱怨，但现在你需要减少支出。也许跳过那个新甜美的纹身？如何跳过每天7美元的拿铁？如何学会在家做自己的三明治而不是外出就餐？如何献血以建立应急基金？

Many Americans don’t know that no developed economy has really grown for decades, except the U.S. The growth in the U.S. has been concentrated in some sectors and some metro areas, and that’s how capitalism typically works. For those who want to be a part of the growing sub-economy get relevant education and move to cities. Some others don’t make the right move and complain. The rest of the world knows how lucky those people are to be born in the U.S. We have a lot of economic freedom in the U.S., and blaming that the game is rigged and trying to destroy the institutions and democracy is so childish and irresponsible. White supremacy, racism, and nativist prejudice breed misguided entitlement mindsets. Basic rules, assumptions and shared preferences are where it all starts, and we need to build back shared core values and principles.
许多美国人不知道，除了美国，没有哪个发达经济体在几十年内真正增长。美国的增长集中在某些行业和一些大都市地区，这就是资本主义的典型运作方式。对于那些希望成为增长子经济一部分的人来说，获取相关教育并搬到城市。一些其他人没有做出正确的举动并抱怨。世界其他地方的人都知道那些人出生在美国有多幸运。我们在美国有很多经济自由，责怪游戏被操纵并试图摧毁制度和民主是如此幼稚和不负责任。白人至上主义、种族主义和本土主义偏见滋生了误导的特权心态。基本规则、假设和共同偏好是一切的起点，我们需要重建共同的核心价值观和原则。

As of June 2024, next year's Social Security cost-of-living increase will be 2.66%. Laughable! And it's likely the Medicare Part B premium (subtracted from Social Security) will increase.
截至2024年6月，明年的社会保障生活成本增长将为2.66%。可笑！而且很可能医疗保险B部分的保费（从社会保障中扣除）会增加。

There was so much unneeded stimulus including "the build better" (or whatever it was called) that I am surprised that inflation was just 9%. Too bad this was not mentioned as a reason for the inflation...
有太多不必要的刺激措施，包括“建设得更好”（或其他名称），我很惊讶通货膨胀率仅为9%。可惜这没有被提及为通货膨胀的原因……

In Europe, we had ever longer lockdowns, everyone had their wages covered, and there is not the same rampant inflation as in the USA. I don't understand how inflation was caused by a couple of $1,500 checks, that doesn’t even cover a month's expenses.
在欧洲，我们有更长时间的封锁，所有人的工资都得到了保障，而不像美国那样有肆虐的通货膨胀。我不明白通货膨胀是怎么由几张1500美元的支票引起的，这甚至不够一个月的开支。

First of all - the checks were given to everyone, and not the only those who needed it. My family got the checks even though we continued to work remotely. Then there was also money to businesses with some of these loans forgiven. So you have it.
首先——支票发给了每个人，而不仅仅是那些需要它的人。我的家人也得到了支票，尽管我们继续远程工作。然后还有一些企业获得了部分贷款豁免。所以你有了。

the housing crisis is the everything crisis. It drives up the cost of everything from policing to medical care, because the people who provide those things need a place to live too. But then they start talking about building codes and zoning - yes do this, but realize that the effects are marginal, you won't get 5 million units (I bet it's really 10m+ for 45 year olds to not need roommates to stay indoors) in the urban supermetros where people need to live to get decent jobs from zoning reform, at least not before the demand rises to a 20m unit deficit.
住房危机就是一切危机。它推高了从警察到医疗保健的一切成本，因为提供这些服务的人也需要一个住处。但是当他们开始谈论建筑规范和分区时——是的，做这些，但要意识到其效果是边际的，你不会在需要人们居住以获得体面工作的城市超级大都市中通过分区改革获得500万套单元（我敢打赌，对于45岁以上的人来说，真的需要1000万套以上的单元，不需要室友才能住在室内），至少在需求上升到2000万套赤字之前不会。

Building in heavily populated areas is a slow process, unless you have totalitarian control and can just evict masses of people to clear areas for building. The only real solution is
(1) slow national population growth to let the housing supply catch up
(2) geographically diversify economic activity to regions where housing exists or it's cheaper/easier to build, through industrial planning and incentives.
在人口稠密的地区建房是一个缓慢的过程，除非你有极权控制，可以驱逐大量人群以清理建筑区域。唯一的真正解决方案是
（1）减缓国家人口增长，让住房供应赶上
（2）通过工业规划和激励措施，将经济活动地理上多样化到已经有住房或建房更便宜/更容易的地区。

Note there's a huge amount of land tied up in parking in many cities. This is set by local zoning rules. Lower the minimum parking space counts and bulldoze some one-story strip shopping centers and suddenly there's significantly more space for building.
If land is truly scarce like in Boston, the parking can be integrated into the same building for a price.
注意，许多城市有大量土地被用于停车。这是由当地的分区规则决定的。降低最低停车位数量，推倒一些单层带状购物中心，突然之间就有了更多的建筑空间。
如果像波士顿那样土地真的稀缺，停车场可以以一定价格整合到同一栋建筑中。

Greedflation is a huge problem when the goods and services in question are necessary goods. I'm poor enough that I spend all of my money, living paycheck to paycheck. As prices for everything rose, I had to put the excess cost of my life on credit cards. That debt still exists even as things change for the better (not nearly fast enough).
当所涉及的商品和服务是必需品时，贪婪通胀是一个大问题。我足够穷，我花光了所有的钱，靠薪水生活。随着一切价格的上涨，我不得不把生活的额外成本放在信用卡上。即使情况有所好转（速度不够快），这些债务仍然存在。

The Scandinavian Welfare System removes some concerns for people who are low-income and less educated. It is less greedy than the USA and we have simplified some aspects of daily life for the majority of people. You have still the ability to follow your dream but worries about health care, education, child care, and social events are very reduced.

The idea that greedflation is off the mark because it implies something evil about corporations only holds up if one believes that capitalism is not somewhat evil in and of itself. It might be a necessary evil—I don’t know enough economics to say whether other systems could work adequately at the scale of industrial societies—but capitalism provides considerable incentives for the people and organizations which comprise it to behave in ways that are morally repugnant. That’s why, for example, selling organs for transplant had to be outlawed, and why Medicaid provides free dialysis for people with inadequate kidney function (because otherwise survival to reach the front of the transplant queue would be determined by ability to pay). At least as presently constituted, capitalism doesn’t price in externalities like ‘people dying from circumstances imposed on them by others’, and by default punishes entities that would prefer not to create harmful externalities by making them less competitive. That’s evil, plain and simple.
认为贪婪通胀观点偏离目标的想法是因为它暗示了企业的邪恶，只有在相信资本主义本身不是某种程度上的邪恶时才成立。这可能是一种必要的邪恶——我对经济学了解不足，无法说其他系统在工业社会规模上是否能够充分运作——但资本主义为组成它的人和组织提供了相当大的激励，以道德上令人厌恶的方式行事。这就是为什么，例如，卖器官移植必须被禁止，以及为什么医疗补助为肾功能不足的人提供免费透析（否则到达移植队列前线的生存机会将由支付能力决定）。至少在目前的情况下，资本主义没有将外部性如“人们因他人强加的环境而死亡”纳入价格，并且默认惩罚那些不愿制造有害外部性的实体，使它们的竞争力下降。这是邪恶的，简单明了。
