CyborgSage00x0 05/22/24 1:12:17 PM #13:	This is the point where people usually blame Dems on bad messaging. But Biden made the economy a big part of his SotU address. He's given interviews blasting Greedflation, and he and the Dems tried to tackle price gouging. Never mind putting the rich on blast. At this point, people are just stupid. Even "groceries prices up brrrrr" has already been addressed by Biden and the Dems. But if this narrowminded attitude is all it takes to doom and gloom, then we may just be fucked as a society. Doe posted... So what is making people think there's a recession if there's not? There could be a disconnect between actual definition of recession and how Americans judge whether we're colloquially "in recession" As far as I can tell, it's just inflation/greedflation. Unemployment is at record lows. Wages have been on the rise (albeit not fast enough, but this has been a problem for decades). Unions are getting stronger for the first time in decades. The stock market is quite strong, not that that means anything. And inflation has dramatically shrunk. The cost of eating out and other things has starkly increased, but again, this is companies using inflation as a cover to raise prices.

Target, McDonalds, and car companies are lowering prices out of the goodness of their heart and not because things arent selling like they were. Like its great prices are generally going up more slowly but that doesnt mean wages caught up to the new pricing of housing, healthcare, and food.

No. They're lowering prices because they estimate increased transactions will result in more profit than it would with higher profit margins.

ShaneMcComez 05/22/24 1:53:13 PM #39:	Dems needs to either executive action or pass laws (the next time they have a trifecta) that squarely combats corporate greedflation. Because we can't count on the American populace to figure out the complexities of how the economy works. Democrats have to literally lower food, gas, housing, etc prices on their own with as many regulations put in place on corporations for the public to notice, and yet there's a possibility they might stupidly give Republicans credit for it instead. --- "Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat." - F.

WrkHrdPlayHrdr 05/22/24 2:08:31 PM #44:	In my experience the economy is great. But I think that's because I've finally reached that plateau where I go from "paycheck to paycheck" to I can put a couple bucks away/buy toys if I want to. I think my case though is just because my yearly raise pushed me to that next zone that I feel comfortable, as opposed to economic policies have made me this way suddenly. I don't have kids or anything so I don't have a lot of the same circumstances or expenses a lot of others have. So frankly I just don't know if there's a recession or not. --- "No. I'm a man so theyll get me a full size McDouble." - DuncanWii https://i.imgur.com/cSxy3Od.png <cite>WrkHrdPlayHrdr posted [p:980508475] in Majority o...

legendary_zell 05/22/24 2:27:33 PM #48:	I'm sure calling people who are suffering stupid will be a great electoral strategy! I'm really glad elected Democrats and people responsible for campaigns don't listen to you. Even just insisting that things are actually great is a better strategy than accusing people of being manipulated by the media or imagining things. Economic indicators that economists use to track success and politicians use to prove success do not indicate what people actually feel on the ground. People feel more and more desperate, their lives are not improving in line with the numbers and parroting the numbers back to them when they can't pay their rent comes across as callous and out of touch. --- I gotta be righteous, I gotta be me, I gotta be conscious, I gotta be free, I gotta be able, I gotta attack, I gotta be stable, I gotta be black. <cite>legendary_zell posted [p:980508731] in Majority o...
