  • The real one?

    Where 6 million more people in the US were employed than before the pandemic.

    Where inflation in the US was lower than that of peer western countries.

    Where the number of people using food stamps decreased.

    Where wages went up almost 20% over 4 years.

    Where GDP grew by some 14% over 4 years.

    Where the S&P 500 increase by 43% over 4 years.

    By what reasonable metric would you consider the economy fucked?

    I’m just basing my opinion on the text of the article. The article you told people to read:

    US inflation increased by more than expected last month, as higher egg and energy prices helped to push up the cost of living for Americans.

    Grocery prices climbed 0.5% over the month, compared with 0.3% in December, as egg prices surged more than 15% … That marked the biggest monthly increase in nearly a decade, the Labor Department said.

    Then you reply with a statistic that doesn’t appear in the article with no reference. Fucking MAGATs.



  • It’s a direct example of distracting people from the actual consequential actions.

    It’s like yall forgot the first Trump presidency. People were protesting and getting angry early on. Then they burnt out.

    They didn’t have energy to fight when important things happened.

    Be angry. Sure. But be smart about what you’re angry about.

    This is something dumb.
