There is evidence all around us that things aren’t as rosy as some politicians and media talking heads would have you believe.
The opposite can also be true of course. That things aren’t as dire as opposition personalities would have you believe.
- 1-6 3y agoSo what's the point of this comment then?
- sigmoid10 3y agoThat HN comments don't always have a point. On the other hand, that observation is also a point in and of itself.
- beernet 3y agoMeh, too many obviously LLM generated comments...
- unnamed76ri 3y agoJust highlighting that we are constantly being fed propaganda for those that may not yet be aware.
- feedforward 3y agoHave been following this a little and two things seem to be true: Looking at the economic numbers, a lot of things look good, or at least, they are not so bad. Multiple polls asking people how the economy is doing show they think it is doing worse. Generally Biden supporters push the first point, and Biden detractors push the second. Some of the Biden detractors are Biden voters who want different economic initiatives. One point is during Covid people got stimulus checks and evictions and student loan payments were frozen. Also interest rates were near zero, FAANGs were hiring like crazy etc. Now people were hit by inflation and interest rates have shot up. FAANGs haven been laying off, and to some extent Fortune 500 - or at least hiring is frozen. And so on.
