Unless your indicators include wealth inequality, personal bankruptcies, wage stagnation, infrastructure repair costs.
- mywittyname 8y agoI meant them to be the indicators listed immediately preceding that statement. You can't deny that most people are saying the economy is doing very well. Unemployment is low, wage growth is happening, large business profits and revenues are up, manufacturing activity is high, retail sales are the highest they've been. Just about every economic indicator captured by the US Census Bureau is very strong. But people are still pissed the fuck off.

We've never been able to communicate as fast as we have in the past. Right now we live in a culture of "what to be outraged about next". Best thing to do, is not participate in the toxic culture.
