Home prices and rent are crazy high, though. Plus student loans are coming back, no wonder everyone feels poor, unless you already managed to buy a home with low interest rates. So things are great for those people, I’m sure.
3.7 isn’t too bad. Not great, below 3 would be good. But, as long as the rest of the world suffers we will too. Our main trade partners, Canada and Mexico, are doing all right so the chances are we won’t slip into a recession. This is especially true because the US GDP is so good. This is a problem that COVID left the world.
These are real, quantitative measurements that people are WRONG about. It’s not just some dude’s word. It’s the TRUTH, and you’re REJECTING it. It’s sad.
More like 7 years. The workforce participation rate is the only number that matters. I don’t care about your games of “well if we don’t count everyone unemployed no one is unemployed”.
The line is trending around crap. Go ahead and zoom out to what happened in 2008. You told a lie before and I called you out on it with data. Accept it or lol some more but you aren’t convincing anyone what they can see with their own eyes. Lol
Economic measurements were in the tank in 2010 for everyone except wall street. That was when the term “main street” actually got recognized in the media. There were plenty of articles about it.
I think they used it correctly. This whole thing feels like 2010 all over again. We all know things are on fire and the government/media keeps saying how great it all is.
On the other hand, when wage growth continually fails to even come close to inflation, the rah rah economy gaslighting falls a bit flat.
The US inflation rate is 3.7 Britain 6.8 Germany 6.1 France 4.9

Of course that isn’t inflation. That is individual sector increases, which is something that a President can do little about.
In other words, we’re screwed and everyone else is double-screwed.

I keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
They’re using it correctly. When someone tells you the economy is great but you and everyone you know are worse off, that’s gaslighting.
“Don’t believe your own experience, just take my word for it.”
Yikes
Do you think unemployment is near a 50 year low?
Do you think GDP is growing?

Sounds like you’re trying to gaslight him bro lmao
Stop gaslighting me dude
Tell that to my back account, the GDP can do whatever the fuck it wants.

Is that line going up or down lol
The unemployment rate is not the best measure, you’re right. But the point is that it’s improving substantially, whichever metric you pick.
Lol.

I don’t think this means what you think it means either. You’re just going waaaaaaaah economy bad I can’t hear your data waaaaaaah
Data shows the economy is improving under Biden. Deal with it.
