    You’re not alone in thinking that. The US economy is growing but all of that is allocated to 5 companies, and in any case the owners of that equity aren’t a majority median income earners. We’ve essentially decoupled the economic health of the common person, who would actually spend on the bubble survivors, from the overall “strength” of the US economy.
