Fascinating little window

  • Almost 60% of respondents wrongly believe that the country is in a recession (it hasn’t been since 2020)
  • 55% believe the economy is shrinking (it is growing)
  • 49% say unemployment is at a 50-year high (it’s close to a 50-year low)
  • 58% said the reason the economy is worsening is due to Biden’s mismanagement

Everyone feels like the economy sucks. But stock buybacks and ai have been great for the 1% who have the means to manipulate the stock market. Everyone else should just buy less avocado toast or something, I guess.

Honestly, this article, like many other articles just like it, is just gaslighting.
