You're rejecting this article, and the entire publication because it doesn't confirm your current understanding? You're suggesting to switch away from common metrics because they don't provide the answer you expected?
That strategy won't get you far.
Of course, one article is a drop in the bucket. But take it for what it is, not reject it because it doesn't follow the narrative you have. People like the narrative of generational politics that is currently popular, but that's probably because it gives them something to blame that's easy to point at... yet the plot holes are massive and obvious when you open your eyes to them.
idk man I'm late gen X and did OK by being in the right places at the right times, but i see millenials & Z (my students) getting absolutely screwed by housing, education, transportation and healthcare costs. Inflation numbers are obviously understated, the government has a huge incentive to lie about it.
