In economics terms, 1 percent growth is considered very good. Yes, 0.8 isn't 1 percent, but it's pretty close.

I'm sure you didn't mean it in that way, I didn't mean to make it sound like you were charitable to the organization as a whole, you're good.
I think you're being very charitable about the CIA's claim. While the USSR was a dictatorship of the proletariat, I'm pretty sure the CIA meant dictatorship in the way most people use the term.
I've legit had capitalist bootlickers say that "The CIA didn't conclude that Stalin wasn't a dictator, just that he didn't have absolute power!"
These stupid ass crakkkers completely miss the point, that of course the CIA will still slander Stalin, socialism, and the USSR. They'll never say that Stalin was a cool, misunderstood heroic guy. The point is that even in internal, secret documents for CIA personnel, the fact remains even they admit that Stalin wasn't a dictator.
Capitalist economists are no better than priests, as the saying goes.
I'm an Amerikkkan and Texan, as well. I don't have any advice for you. Especially since I live in the capital of shittyness, Texas.
I've been trying for almost a decade now, with my family's help, and I've just about given up. These reich-wing Nazi ass judges are scum of the Earth, and they always think I could be lying or faking or exaggerating my goddamn symptoms.
I don't have much of a job history, so I don't think I can help you much, other than keep applying. I'm sorry.
I live in Texas, and here, it's fucking absolute hell trying to get on SSDI. My family and I have been trying for the better part of a decade, and I'm basically almost giving up.
Just like that time a guy reached over and stabbed himself in the back a dozen times. Truly, a tragic example of one desperately taking their own life-/s
That's why I'm heading to China. Chengdu, Chongqing, Beijing, Shanghai seem to be at the forefront of cutting edge cyberpunk-style shit.

While I understand your cause for concern for someone comparing real-life existential danger to a piece of fiction, people are naturally going to compare real-life shit, to what they know best.
