Should we believe Americans when they say the economy is bad?
In an increasingly polarised and performative society, vibes are now often trumping objective reality
Are Americans wrong about the state of the economy?

I’ve spent the last 20 years working around demented people. You don’t reason with those people.
If people say they feel some type of way about the economy, remind them that there are men that feel like women and women that feel like men.
If people say they feel some type of way about the economy, remind them that there are men that feel like women and women that feel like men.
But there is an objective answer to a question like “In the past years, have prices gone up more or have wages?”
Are you saying the people who said prices have gone up more are demented?
Republican propaganda!
Ignore these so called reports

I’m not playing dumb games with dumb people with a silly agenda. If they say it, I believe it.
What about the story is Republican propaganda?
remember to vote blue no matter who!
All of it!
We live in one of the most robust economic times ever.
More people are working more than ever.
This is a report meant to bring evil Republicans into power again!
Bro the Republicans want to bring back slavery!
Sure they aren't perfect but they are the only thing keeping us FREE!
If you’re being sarcastic, you are doing a bad job.
The point of the article is that while people say the economy is bad, it’s objectively better than they claim.
That would favor Biden… it doesn’t even have to become a political question though.
The economy, for the most part is holding steady Thanks to the Democrats. As I keep telling you, I got laid off a few months ago and I’m good for most of next year. Moneywise. But I am going to look for a job in January just so I could keep my severance money. Oh, and my 401(k) is doing lovely for now. People we had to vote for the Democrats next year or we are going to be living like mad max in 2025.
I thought the article was another hit piece on OUR president!
I'm not being sarcastic.
I'm #teamBiden!
Tell em bro!
I'm already looking into moving to Ghana in January 2025 if Trump evil ass cheats his ass back into the white house.
I ain't going back to slavery bro
You’re not being funny or contributing. The article isn’t bad for Biden or even about him.
Do you actually have anything intelligent to add about the economy?
Wow, you really can’t even have a conversation about the economy without people automatically making it blue vs red.
Everything is not that simple…
Your personal experience does not seem to be affected by recent political developments.
First of all, you cannot talk about the economy and leave political parties out of it that’s impossible in the United States. Second of all my personal experience is tied to who is in office right now. I got laid off two months ago but I had other sources that grew in the last two years. This is why Biden had a pretty good jobs record over the last few years. This is why people quitting lower jobs and going to better jobs. Hell America is starting to make things again thanks to Democrats and Joe Biden Trump and Republicans tried to sabotage Biden with the oil bullshit with Saudi Arabia. Like I said, in the beginning you cannot talk about the economy without talking about political parties.
So a post about the perceived economy is not about the president...
Ok bro.
Keep this same energy when the Republicans wreck the economy in 2024 and all of our gainz go away
What a silly cherry picked statistic. Why are you restricting the range of time to such a narrow band? Fitting it aligns so conveniently with your argument. A classic example of lying ass statistics.
Trump, once again will be handed to him, a great economy... and I'm sure he'll fuck it up again, by the time he leaves, smh.
Oh 100%. Niggas arguing Twump was better for the economy were just wrong.
Or maybe these maga-fucks should fight for wage increases to offset inflation that is happening around the world...not just in the US. They rather vote in their zaddy who is going to continue to fuck them...but still "own the libs".
Stupid fucks...
Stupid fucks...
i Like to call it one hot summer.. what it was is a bunch of people that never made 1100 a week was getting that on the regular bases during covid off of unemployment money for several months.. for like 7-8 months there was a portion of society who was not used to a certain amount of money was getting that and didn’t know how to act.. some of them act like this was gonna be permanent money so they was spending like crazy.. buying all kinda expensive bottles, Uber eats all kinda food, buying all kinda merchandise..for them it was the best yr of their life.. cause of this short as segment they think the economy was so great under trump.. all the stimulus checks recievers all the unemployment people who never touched 1100 b4 was thinking this was heaven.. oh yeah a lot of bizzness and hustlers benefited off this compulsive spending so by their numbers it was the best economy ever.. people stuck on the temporary acting like it was the longevity
There were only 2 checks.
3… 1200, 600, 1400… 3200 in all
and that still means nothing to people who got 1100 a week from unemployment for months… some people even got back pay if they applied late
