    The first half of the article was pretty good. Things started to go downhill here:

    The Nobel-winning economist Paul Krugman pointed out last week that the media apparently has failed to communicate something that should be a huge asset for Biden: the US’s current “Goldilocks economy”. Inflation is low, unemployment is low and there’s virtually no hint of a recession. But many Americans, according to surveys, are convinced the economy is terrible.

      I just love all these people telling use every day Americans how great things are despite everyone struggling and feeling otherwise. We’re still feeling the effects of years of horrific inflation and price gouging. No one’s salary kept up. Things aren’t good.

      Fuck us peasants though. The stock prices are up.

      If this is going to be the Democrats stance, that the economy is in good shape, then Trump has an actual chance at winning. WTF is wrong with them, dilusional.
