    Except I’m not doing that you idiot. The economy is not doing as well as your masters are telling you. I hate to break it to you, but Rachael Maddow is the left’s version of Tucker Carlson, not the news. A court and a judge even said as much. You are being lied to.

    So you can’t articulate your point, we’re just supposed to believe that you know better and go along with the shit you make up about other people. Typical bullshit You always pull out of your ass on a daily basis.

    First off, COME ON. Your post starts off with ‘Yeah Real Wages are on the rise but so are the costs of goods and services people buy’ which is just: :bang: :bang: :bang:

    And I read your article about Feb’s preliminary inflation numbers, including the part about Real Wages increasing.

    Did you?

    You obviously didn’t read my comments, otherwise you’d know the answer to your question.

    Always got to bring up personal shit that happened over a decade ago and then you add your imaginary bullshit to it because you simply can’t back up anything that you say, never.

    Not at all. I did read your comments as that’s how I know you *STILL* can’t grasp the concept of Real Wages, which honestly makes sense as you can’t even understand what inflation or unemployment are so how could you be expected to grasp relatively more complicated metrics?

    Can't? I think it's a case of his whole self-image as a "very stable genius" being so important that it's worth being ridiculed to go on with the charade. :spock:

    It’s not about who likes me or doesn’t like me, it’s about you not being able to articulate why you don’t like Jimmy Dore. Wha are you so afraid of?

    I guess I am just gobsmacked how you can’t seem to grasp the concept of Real Wages after all these months of multiple people taking the time to explain it using small words.

    It really is something to behold. :clap:

    you really should take that pause when you consider that 15 years back, the shit you spout wouldn't have made you such a pariah here with many of the same folks.

    Y'know, both the "MAGAs feel left behind" and "Americans just aren't feeling the good economy yet" arguments melt into soft pudding-y shit when you consider the economy was sucking with good hard cheek concaving slurps on January 6th 2021,and rednecks still scraped together enough for plane tickets and camper gas to get to fucking Washington.

    I'm assuming they had money in savings already and considering we had gone back into lock down, they had postponed their planned vacations and went to DC. instead.

    You know you can have a good economy with high gas and housing prices, right?

    Like if you're using those two things as examples of a bad economy you sound like an idiot

    The truth is somewhere in between of right wing QAnon guys like you who want the economy to be so bad and the people on the left that are looking at it through rose colored glasses - the economy is performing well (low unemployment, wages are up), but could be better (inflation is a concern)

    That's not the only thing that is up, it's just the two things I cited.

    I've never understood this tribal line of thinking

    While I'm sure it happens other places, it does seem to be uniquely American - wanting your economy to fail because you don't like the person or the party who is in charge

    Like I hate Justin Trudeau, absolutely hate the cunt, but in no way would I ever want and cheer on the economy failing under him. I want everyone to thrive and succeed

    But people like @Steal Your Face are so slanted, so jaded, so partisan that they'd want the economy and normal people and their families to suffer so their guy or party can gain control

    It's remarkably selfish

    And then we have cunts like the UK's Jacob Rees-Mogg, who pushed for Brexit whilst investing in companies that make their profit by shorting the pound (i.e. betting on the UK economy failing).

    It should be illegal for UK politicians to make money on our economy going sideways.

    Your willingness to cherry pick data when you're not pulling shit out of your ass (see what I did there?) speaks much louder than your protests, which make it plain that you're hoping to fool the rest of us as well as you're fooling yourself. :waiting:
