All anecdotal. For another one our business shipments (housing related) are up 20% this quarter. Our hiring also up for the 12th quarter in a row. All the data has been trending the right direction, albeit slower than it has in any other recovery, for a while. You don’t have to believe it though. Your choice to ignore it.

I am genuinely puzzled. You reliably show up on these threads saying that the economic news is actually pretty good. You have graphs. You have figures. You have hard data. You say: "Look! Things are pretty good!"

You've been doing that for about as long as Obama has been doing that. But the economy just shrank 2.9%, gas prices are high, inflation is hitting everything I buy, I haven't had a raise in years, and the percentage of people out of the workforce is the highest it's been in decades.

But you have graphs. You have figures. You have hard data.
Who should I believe? The official data? Or my lyin' eyes?
