Life for the Millions of Americans Facing Financial Ruin | Time

The growing gap between America s rich and everyone else is hardly new. But the extra-ordinarily rapid economic collapse catalyzed by COVID-19 has made the chasm deeper and wider, with edges that keep crumbling under the feet of those crowded on the edge. Since mid-March, more than 30 million people have filed for -unemployment more than three times as many as lost their jobs during the two-year-long Great Recession.

The richest and most well connected are seeing their wealth reaccumulate, as if by magic, while middle- and working class families drown in debt that deepens with every passing week.
