    This is the same argument Libs are using to dismiss people’s economic woes. It’s all just social media feeding them bad vibes, the stats say people are actually doing great!

        Don’t mistake me for making this argument myself, I’m just saying it’s their counter-argument.

        If you come at them with this line they’ll just say it’s an anecdote, better to point out the blind spots in the data, like for example that housing is objectively way more expensive across the board with little sign of getting better anytime soon, so even if people are doing a bit better otherwise most of that improvement is being eaten up by housing costs.
