I always find my salary very difficult to replace, and it's not particularly high. I'm assuming it's all pay cuts from here on out with the economy the way it is.

- BurningFrog 2y agoThe economy has been objectively really great last few years. Many people say the economy is bad, whatever the measurable macro-economical state of the economy is.
- nsxwolf 2y agoIf you find it almost impossible to get jobs I don’t know if it matters.
- BurningFrog 2y agoYour immediate situation is equally shitty, sure. But if you realize the problem is not "the economy" (which you can't possibly affect), but something about you (which is the though you can affect the most), you have a chance to find a better path for yourself.
- RGamma 2y agoYou see, according to that one HN commenter everything is always fine (they own capital)
- consteval 2y agoThis is because the idea of economy has been highjacked by armchair capitalists. The economy has almost nothing to do with the average person's quality of life. We've completely lost the plot. That's why a country like the US can have such an insane GDP and GDP per capita and have comparatively much lower quality of life than countries with worse economies. When people say the economy is bad, they mean the things that actually matter. When economists say the economy is good, they're speaking of some theoretical economy nobody can see. They're speaking of numbers on a screen, that don't go into your pocket. That's where the discrepancy comes from.
