Yeah, even as a solid dem from my perspective this reads as “report how I want it to sound”. It falls flat.

That said; the economy is doing better (but unfortunately the kind of economic improvement that helps shareholders more than regular people), inflation slowed down, unionization is on the rise, fuel prices (temporarily, as always) are down…so that’s good.

But housing or every kind is still out of control. Record profits without commensurately rising wages. New cars are still fucking ridiculous money. We’re being subscribed to death.

So from an everyday perspective we are still getting fucked.
