The American economy keeps on chugging despite critics, but that doesn't mean the critics don't have a point.

Costs of living (read: gas and eggs) are high, many would argue "unaffordable" even though most will still pay up. This means that: No, there is no "affordability crisis" in the literal sense. But there is an "unhappiness crisis", as in people aren't happy about how much money they have to spend. That crisis, the "unhappiness crisis" fueled Trump's upset landslide victory this election.

The Affordability Camel's back isn't broken, yet, but the camel is declaring quite angrily that the point is very close.
