Darker_Cheshire 11/10/24 12:12:04 PM #6:	By metrics, the US economy is doing well considering a global recession and our recovery trajectory. It's difficult to conceptualize that when there isn't a direct apparent impact to people's daily lives. Another issue is that, the GDP may indicate how well US businesses are doing, but that absolutely does not translate to how well Americans are doing. Businesses are recording record profits, but that isn't translating into wage growth. What can the government do about that that isn't directly coercing or forcing corporations to pay fairer wages? --- The only laws of matter are those which our mind must fabricate, And the only laws of mind are fabricated by matter. <cite>Darker_Cheshire posted [p:982885477] in Why did Bi...

legendary_zell 11/10/24 12:17:14 PM #15:	Because "the economy" metrics are divorced from reality. Who gives a fuck about GDP if they can't afford to live? Why do I care about the stock market if I have no investments, no 401k? Who cares about how bad it is in other countries when it's also bad here? Who cares about the unemployment rates when the jobs that exist are low paying service jobs or high paying knowledge economy stuff that most people can't get? We need to abandon this idea of trying to convince people that the economy is peachy keen and we need to direct everything to being the economic handymen that fix what ails people. That's going to require a very different approach to politics. --- 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:982885532] in Why did Bi...

Dude, how could it possibly be more clear that you're wrong on this? It's actually infuriating. We did your strategy of projecting positivity and ignoring pain and we got blown the fuck out. How can you see that and decide that the answer is policing "internal negativity" even harder is the solution? That's the same approach you had on Biden dropping out and you were just as wrong there, but there's been no reflection on the fact that the people we need to vote for us see things very differently from you and can't be convinced through fake/enforced conformity and positivity. --- 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:982890024] in Why did Bi...
