    Is there a bigger sign of the desperation of the US than the fact that they have resorted to just simply saying they have a “strong economy” over and over again despite the fact anyone with a brain can clearly see how false that is? Like, they don’t even proffer evidence, they just regurgitate until people accept it as the Truth™️

      The strategy is clearly to just keep repeating this over and over and hope people still believe it. I guess the other aspect of it is cooking numbers and doing creative accounting the way they did to pretend US isn’t in a recession now.

      Dude it works. Had briefly mentioned to my parents that the economy is shit and they responded with “is it?”. I was totally caught off guard that anybody would think the housing crisis, inflation, and shitty infrastructure, is a sign of a good economy.
