    Been to a grocery store lately? Looked at rent prices? How about clothing? Gas? Basic necessities?

    People think the economy’s getting worse because it IS for consumers. I don’t really give a shit if a company is paying less for grain than they did a year ago if the prices they charge for the final product havn’t gone down!

    Until basic costs of living start decreasing, most people aren’t going to see any positive change.

      Yeah, this kind of headline has no bearing on 99% of people’s lives, it’s just corporate gaslighting to try to keep the population sedated.

      This is my thinking. I guess it’s good the economy is good but prices of housing and food are skyrocketing for me so I don’t feel it lol
