The lack of clarity about who is affected by what allows for a rather rosy picture to be painted in the mainstream that does not correspond with the reality on the ground and in the flesh. The Simulation or Spectacle is doing a fine job in that sense by not emphasizing the difference and disparity. It is merely a game of influence that manages perceptions in a way that cloaks the underlying dissolution and Wall Street, as uncoupled as it is now from many people's ordinary lives, still maintains an alluring glow of supreme relevance and impunity in regards to Main St.
One America booms like a hanger full of dynamite, the other languishes in a stagnation and state of disrepair, collectively hoping the paycheck will make it through to the end of the month, with a perpetual concern about remaining housed and an emphasis largely on subsistence. If one economy is booming, the other is clearly busting by contrast which invites the buzzards of vulture capitalism to pick what's left on their bones before they drop into consumer oblivion.
