Good thread on why saying the economy is "Good", is really meaningless

Because the masses consume their research and news from the same platforms. Giving those platforms considerably more weight than what they should have.
but that's the masses' bad habit that needs to be addressed, not the media and their platform, especially after the telecommunications act

I don't disagree with that but what do you suggest to correct the masses bad habit?

It would seem its more logical to alter the go-to platform to force some independent thought and research opposed to what, shaming them about being lazy?

Bingo. Shame/discourage dependence on corporate media to help deter certain habits/actions. Then compliment the shaming by making sure unbiased research is available and promote where it's accessible
...basically, personal responsibility means nothing if not complimented by societal responsibility, vice versa

@the cac mamba is right, you shouldn't try to change the definition of a "good economy" based upon the popularity of the President.

That said I never believed that bullshyt in 2016 nor do I believe it now. The life of the average American does not reflect that of a good economy and hasn't in a very long time, 10 to 15 years, at least.

But y'all have fun.

You both need to stop cherry picking random comments from within this thread to try to frame an argument. Economic metrics are independent of a presidency and whether they are the right or wrong way to measure the health of the economy has nothing to do with Obama or Trump.

Try reading the original post.

I did read the original post. I just wonder how well this content would be received from a @Slystallion type poster in 2016.

I'm not arguing the merits of the expert, just the hypocrisy within the reception. Stop taking every difference in opinion as an attack on your manhood, goodness.

well the president is either gonna be blamed or given credit for the economy, it's part of the job. we all know it's not solely on them, even mostly not on them, but their administrations do shyt that effects it :yeshrug:

i mean i'll put it like this, i dont think the dems want to have to go up against trump with this economy like it is right now. i wasnt even trying to argue with anyone :dead: that's literally what CNN is saying. i think they're right

Who cares what the MAGA crowd will receive? I don't understand why that seems to be such a constant point of contention. Their minds are made up so they will do as much mental gymnastics as necessary to digest anything they feels goes against their own beliefs. The point is for people who have some common sense to be better informed.

I'm not arguing the merits of the expert, just the hypocrisy within the reception. Stop taking every difference in opinion as an attack on your manhood, goodness.

So in one breath you characterize a difference of opinion as hypocrisy because you can't wrap your head around the fact that people who don't want to believe something will go through the greatest of lengths to deny reality. Then you proceed to accuse me of attacking you because you're talking about wind while the rest of us are talking about the sky being blue.

Go back to TLR my G.

You talked all that shyt and you can't even grasp the simple point of my first sentence. I'm not talking about what they will receive you idiot, I was saying how would this information be received by HL if he were the one to present it back during Obama's Presidency.

It wasn't that hard to understand. Go back to sucking the toes of an STL hoodrat my G.

He doesn't even know what he's arguing against anymore. He's just playing to his audience against us bad faith actors. :mjlol:

It's like these guys forgot they have been calling this Obama's economy for the past two years now all of a sudden it's not "good" anymore now that Trump may receive a sliver of credit. It hasn't been good for the average American since the Bush years, that's what the real discussion should be but hey, gotta get those daps and reps.

i might read it later. but i dont need it to tell me why. It's simple.

a Better GDP does not equal more money in MOST broke or middle class americans pockets.

Let me make it even more clear. The countries wallet getting fatter does not automatically mean each individual citizen's wallet is getting fatter.

Now watch this... IT SHOULD. But the way our society is CURRENTLY setup, where the rich pretty much own the politicians and pretty much create the laws of the land. They keep most of the money on their side of the board. which means when america the country is doing really really well. They will feel it the most and reap the majority of those benefits while you and I dont feel much of anything. Maybe a few more low wage jobs are added.

Now if all of these companies had a hefty bonus policy for even the lowest of employees. again, we would all feel that difference when the Country is doing better economically. because that means these large firms/companies feel it first.
