[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, 2025 is only two weeks old, so I can’t say anything particularly terrible has happened in that time.

However, I’m a small business owner, and I do believe the economy is a lot worse than is generally reported.  I don’t doubt the reports from people here who recently doubled their income and now have a $600K HHI, but I suspect that type of success is limited to a small number of jobs in a small number of industries in the big cities.

I think everyone else is finding things getting harder.[/quote]

[b]I think this is off by a lot.  The economy is way stronger than we think[/b] -- Trump will take credit for what I think will be a 2-3 year very strong economy.  PP is not wrong on prices but wages have increased by a lot over the last couple of years.[/quote]

As I said, I'm sure in your bubble (and other bubbles) things are going well—maybe better than ever—but that's not the case for large parts of the country, perhaps even the majority of the country.  I am always amazed at the blind spot that your ilk possesses.  It's likely why you were so blindsided and distraught on election night.[/quote]

Yes, it hurt on election night to realize that I’m in a bubble of facts and data and the candidate of falsehood and delusion managed to win. Seriously, the metrics on the economy have been good and people’s gut instincts that they haven’t done well are just a reflection of shared misconception, not of reality. [/quote]
