K-Shaped Economy, Housing Crisis, Farmer Bankruptcies | Numbers Scream Ep. 12

Housing affordability has hit historic lows, with the income required to buy a median home far exceeding the typical household income. At the same time, a K-shaped economy is widening the gap between the wealthy and the rest of America, while rising farm debt, weak retirement savings, and medical bills continue to pressure households.

Tom Ellsworth breaks down what these signals mean for consumer health, housing, migration trends, inflation dynamics, and whether markets are stabilizing or flashing early stress signals beneath the surface.
