    I’m back on lemmy. Hello, dumbfuck. Feel stupid yet? As inflation increased, job markets weakened, the housing market continued to be open sewage, industries had massive layoffs, the middle class is smaller and has less power than ever, and the public began to be more amenable to fascism because of economic strife, you still think the economy was doing a-ok? Still think the economists who use different definitions in order to try to capture the spirit of the meaning after the fact precisely because the same metrics don’t always tell the same story might just maybe consider using that word now? No? Ok, we’ll just pretend the gatekeeping of that word had no ulterior political motive that bit us all in the ass. Head back in the sand.

      Holy shit, you came back to write this? lol Amazing. And, no, I don’t feel stupid because nothing that is happening now has changed anything about what I was talking about a year ago. The fact that you think it does just reveals how much you lack in critical thinking skills.

        talks about critical thinking skills keeps conveniently ignoring the same points then as now that present the real challenge to their argument addresses no brought-up points in genera
