Again, this all stems from me asking for someone to back up the claim that Biden is saying the economy is perfectly fine and there are no issues.

You brought up an unrelated claim, and are now attacking me personally for pointing out that the numbers don't back up your claim, by using your extremely limited anecdotal experience as proof.

This is some real bizzaro world shit right here.

By the way here a source https://www.theguardian.com/inequality/2024/jan/15/worlds-five-richest-men-double-their-money-as-poorest-get-poorer

I'm sure you will ignore it and keep telling us how great the economy is doing and how us poors and working class just don't understand that the rich getting richer and corporations making more money that it is really all good for us too.

First, Biden's name doesn't even show up in that article. So I'm not sure why it's being provided as evidence that Biden is saying everything is perfect.

Second, it's an article talking about the gap between the rich and the poor growing. . .and quoting plenty of people saying how this is bad and how taxing the wealthy for this money would be beneficial (both things I agree with BTW). And this is being used as evidence of the media saying everything is good? It's proving the exact opposite.

I’m sure you will ignore it and keep telling us how great the economy

At what point did I say the economy was great? Are you sure you're talking to the right person?

how us poors and working class just don’t understand that the rich getting richer and corporations making more money that it is really all good for us too.

Bro, I'm working class too. lol I'm not sure where you're getting all of this. The fact that I don't think everything is miserable, like you, doesn't mean I think everything is perfect and honky dory. Please consider that a bit more nuance than that can exist.

Your claims come from mainstream media. You must be rich fuck because is working class dont see this great economy you speak of. Also every article I read and from fucking experience tells me your full of shit.

Go take yourself back to bootlicking but data just released showing we grew a bunch of new billionaires proves the economy is fucked for everyone but the 1%.

Also the fact that this very article points to a problem and you ignore it. Done talking to you because you're either a troll or part of the problem.

Your claims come from mainstream media

And you know where yours come from? Your feelings. Sorry if I find the MSM more reliable than your baseless claims.

you ignore it.

What do you think I ignored?
