The stat he's missing that answers the question is what happened to per capita GDP (14.6x)? Gains there went somewhere, and it sure as shit isn't in the median household.
Every time someone says GDP is good for "the economy", I mentally convert that to "the rich".
Insect populations have declined significantly during that time, so I assume that they just collectively stole all wealth hidden between the floorboards and scarperred off. Little buggers.
