TIL I just need to turn off Fox News^1 and I'll be able to afford to live like I did for the first 26 years of my life.
What the fuck is up with this gaslighting. If, by all measurements, the economy is doing great, but people still report "historic pessimism," then maybe the ways we measure the economy are flawed.
This is how democrats lose. Just because inflation is down, doesn't mean wages have adjusted for people to afford the permanent price increases from when inflation was high. Maybe they stopped the bleeding but the people are still wounded
