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.
