Again with the name calling. We are in a recession. Need me to repeat it?

Tell YOUR economists friends that there is no war in ba sing se.

It's upsetting to me that seemingly intelligent people are unable to live in reality. Living in a delusion means a lot of the judgements you make can impact others.

All you have to do is read some words. You could have learned something in a quarter of the time it's taken you to respond to me. You could have spread facts to others like yourself. You've simply chosen to mad at one thing while blaming something else unrelated. All you have to do is direct your frustration towards the group and policies you're mad at. It's very simple.

You're probably pretty smart but you're really coming off here appearing quite ignorant and stubborn. I'm trying to help you remove the nearly transparent veil you're having trouble seeing through. You've rejected a scientific mathematical measurement to make yourself feel better. There's no defending that. Please swallow your pride and take five minutes to read and another five minutes to understand your confusion.

Despite the valiant effort, I think the user you're responding to is adamant to not understand the premise of the article or what you're trying get across.

Thank you. I really don't understand how people feel it's okay to reject math and the meanings of words. Moreover, their inability to accept they don't know everything and instead live a life where they believe they're more intelligent than facts and science is a little heartbreaking.

Personally, if I were going around using a word to describe something and someone told me I was incorrect and offered a source, I'd thank them for correcting and educating me.

I know I am double plus ungood for not having blind unseeing faith in YOUR economist friends.

We are in a recession. When the facts, not opinions not definitions, change I will upgrade my assessment. In the meantime I plan to continue to live in the real world, not in the fake delusions of shills for big banks.
