    Yeah… how silly to base the economy doing well on data and facts. My gut tells me it’s bad.

    If the whole world is doing badly economically, but we’re doing much LESS badly, then the economy is fine. What’s NOT good is education, which is why people aren’t smart enough to see this.

      Oh, data you’re interested in?

      Ok, how about the data point that says homelessness is skyrocketing? Does that mean economy good, just because stonk line goes up?

      Less bad is not at all the same thing as “doing great”.

      What’s NOT good is education, which is why people aren’t smart enough to see this.

      Yes, people are not smart enough to see if you have mass homelessness, mass food insecurity, and people considering copycatting a CEO killer… The economy is doing great!
