    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.

      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.

      Yikes

      Do you think unemployment is near a 50 year low?

      Do you think GDP is growing?

      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.

        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.

            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
