    Fr, ranting about how shit the economy is and everything becoming more expensive is a pretty common conversation piece. Really gives away how out of touch these idiots are.

      Because they assume that GDP, Stock Market and Job Creation are the only measure of how good the economy is.

      Not more relevant statistics like: rent prices, food prices, wages

      You can create millions of jobs but it doesn’t matter a bit if those jobs can’t afford a 1 bedroom apartment in any part of the country. Its the most clearest signal of how privileged the people on that subreddit in particular are.
