    I wouldn’t change the definition of economy simply because the term is misunderstood or pigeonholed.

    With “the economy” being an accurate term for a complete financial system, we should use accurate terms like affordability or livability to describe livability and affordability problems rather than a vague, tangential unrelated term.

    The economy is very strong, affordability is at a low.

    National forests are very healthy, my house has termites.

    The abstract number of trees is irrelevant to the termites in a house.

    It is nice that the US economy is strong, it is not nice that US affordability is so weak.

    It is nice that this restaurant has so many windows, it is not nice that my chicken was overcooked.
