    Yeah, “the economy” doesn’t mean anything.

    More commerce just means more money changing hands. Unemployment rate just measures jobs. None of this impacts the average person.

    Buying power is down and has been dropping for longer than I’ve been alive. This especially impacts the low and vanishing middle class Americans.

      Exactly. It all depends on which metrics you’re looking at, and some are not even being looked at, conveniently enough for those with more money.
