It takes special blinders to see a negative in an "improving employment picture."
Congrats! Don't you dare let data get in the way of how you want to see the world!
Go tell people that the economy is lousy regardless!
I do because it is....
What we have had for the last 4 years is very close but not nearly as good as the Cater years when the word of the day was how high the “misery index” was.
Other new terms like stagflation were also invented, but you don’t hear any of that today. Not a word......
The fact is, that economic activity today is largely tied to inflation and to cycles that are based on planned obsolescence or simply the replacement of worn out crap.
I admire your positive attitude, but I can tell you frankly that it is not shared by many and it’s not because they are slackers...
