The economy is booming, and yet many Americans are still gasping for air financially. They simply don’t have the breathing room to plan beyond their present needs
I have a feeling that the economic news is maybe put of touch with what people are actually dealing with.
At least if you’re told it’s not doing well you can see space for improvement. But if it’s sold as doing well and you’re not then you get…well this.
It’s been that way since 2008, that’s the source of so much of the distrust in the media. Constantly being fed bullshit we all know might be technically true but that’s only because the upper 10% have usurped not only the entirety of all profit, but theyve sequestered away, or legislated roadblocks to, the means to generate profit. Small business has been destroyed and no one can afford to reanimate it’s corpse. Legislation has been passed to protect these dragon hoards for the the dragons, on the people’s dime no less. That can be re-read as government weaponized. Against the people.
For the simplest example, that’s what permitting is exactly, and it gets much worse and more entrenched from there. Permitting is nothing less than the hall mark of antidemocratic tyrrany. I mean that 10,000% and will die on that hill, you can call it benign cuz it doesn’t effect you - you think, and I guarentee you ever tyrant to ever exist has had a massive bureaucratic nightmare machine behind it. It’s where they employ rich peoples families members, to keep them a part of the stste. Gengis Khan had this shit. It is text book tyranny. I posit there is nothing more damaging to the relationship between the citizenry and the office. No longer a resource, now an obstacle, and like all positions with just enough power to fucking ruin a life’s work on a whim, it’s a candle flame to every karenmoth born.

If the economy is booming and the median american is struggling, your metrics for analyzing the economy are faulty.
100%
We’re measuring our economy by how much can be siphoned off by investors.
That’s a really shitty measure.
I mean at this rate, why don’t we measure it by how many oranges the average citizen can squeeze up their ass?

They said “average”, overachiever
Couldn’t agree more. “Economy” is just code for rich people’s stocks at this point.
It’s just Goodhart’s Law:
