    Lmao.

    Yet more people who make too much money to be connected to reality wondering why the commoners are complaining.

    It’s because the economy is not good for them. It’s really that simple. Shit is expensive and most people did not get pay raises. Most of the ones that did get raises haven’t gotten enough to tackle the increases in food, rent, and utility prices. People are working full time and slipping into homelessness through no fault of their own.

    And we have this gaslighting bullshit blasted at us every day like we don’t have eyes of our own and brains to think with.

        Oh I did. And it’s the same gaslighting that CNBC does. Of course unemployment is down, you need 3 jobs to afford rent. Of course the economy expanded, that’s GDP, that’s what it does unless we’re really fucked.

        It’s obvious to me with your pattern of posting that you’re trying to post pro Biden stuff without regard to reality.

          It’s obvious to me that what you’re claiming the article is happy about, is the exact opposite of what the article is happy about.

          The point of the article is, wage inequality is down, unemployment is down, wages adjusted for inflation are up.

          The fact that you’re gaslighting what the article says, in order to be able to argue against things that aren’t what’s in it, indicates to me that you probably don’t have a real strong argument against what’s actually in the article.

            The article is asking why are people unhappy with the economy when X Numbers are good. God forbid someone answer that question.

              Such as? Am I being singled out because of my dislike of Trump? Because I can assure you it’s a trait shared by a lot of people.

                Lol no. You don’t just dislike trump. You’re trying to spin everything to look great for Biden too. Even this you can’t help but throw Trump’s name in here. And no you’re not being singled out. I’m not following you around Lemmy. I just take your stuff as I find it and it’s clearly biased.

                  Well it’s nice to be followed I guess, and I appreciate your perception but I think you are discounting that I may have a liberal bent that falls in line with Biden. It doesn’t look like you have anything specific.

      like we don’t have eyes of our own and brains to think with.

      You sound like a campaign commercial with an angry-eyebrowed white woman looking straight into the camera.
