    Sure. Tell them that you read "Bidenomics was winning" on the internet and let us know how that turns out.
  2. Anastasis
    Yeah, that wasn't my angle. But I understand for your broken brains everything has to be personal.
  3. Anastasis
    Maybe just ask them.
  4. Anastasis
    Do they feel like they are winning? Step back from the very politically engaged perspective. I get it. But do you think they feel like they are winning? Maybe cross reference immamac's post?
  5. Anastasis
    Have you talked to any of your staff recently about their day to day economic and financial pressures?
  6. Anastasis
    Secondarily, a slight towards economics as being a real science.
  7. Anastasis
    But think about all the engagement! My initial comment was benign and personally experienced. When some of you take a breath and touch grass, you will come to grips with the real life sentiments of Americans outside the toxic political pond. Granted, it will probably be after Nov 2024.

    Primarily a meta CR comment.
  9. Anastasis
    I mean, it sincerely did not start out that way, but the responses of others here can be classified as nothing other than trolling. No mirrors in the CR.
  10. Anastasis
    Now y'all believe in science again. What a world.
  11. Anastasis
    I mean, you know.

    All I said initially was that "There is not a single person I talk to in real life that thinks the current climate is winning. YMMV." This triggers some posters here. But I cannot be held responsible for that. Some of them have a long history of being triggered when confronted with common sense observations.

    There is certainly something to this wrt to the multiplier effect. But it's not limited to those with multipliers.
  14. Anastasis
    I am with you man.
  15. Anastasis
    It's important to remember how totally disconnected from reality the CR has been for years.
  16. Anastasis
    It's kinda amazing the fantasy land that some of you create around posters. YMMV.

    It's up to debate who is in fact stupid here. I appreciate that it is anathema to this crowd to roll out there that daily cost of living is insane right now compared to recent past, cause it will be interpreted in political terms and orange man is bad. It's crazy to point out that people are feeling a pinch at basically every level of "fixed expense". It's crazy to suggest that data on 401k millionaires is fundamentally meaningless to people in the here and now, and that any of that influences their sentiment regarding all the winning right now. It must be a failure of those people across the political spectrum just failing to understand.
  18. Anastasis
    You should go into political consultancy. Nobody that I talked to today was stupid by any measure, objective or subjective. Again, politics breaking brains.
  19. Anastasis
    None of these conversations were in a bar, and data are obviously always relevant. How those data points translate, or do not, to the sentiments and lived experiences of real people running the treadmill matter. Not surprised by the push back, but quite comfortable with my comments.
  20. Anastasis
    I think that there is a disconnect between the data and the sentiment. Just my opinion. I don't think that it translates to the ballot box, so I still think that Kamala is going to run away with this. But again, I am not having any conversations with people that are doing backflips about the economic climate they feel day to day. Maybe I am just no running in the right circles.
  21. Anastasis
    Maybe. Grab a seat at any table in any bar in this country and strike up a conversation. Report back where that lands.
  22. Anastasis
    Maybe touch grass?
  23. Anastasis
    It was a interesting stream of conversations across professional and personal interactions, but conversations literally just today. Chinese, Indian, White, Mexican, South American. A mix of professional W2 stiffs like me and a buddy from HS that owns his own landscape business. The latter was the most vocal in terms of couching it in the political terms directly relevant. But there was widespread consensus that the trajectory over the last few years ain't sustainable. CR is full of very vocal clowns many of which seem to have no connection to reality.
  24. Anastasis
    Politics breaks brains. There is not a single person I talk to in real life that thinks the current climate is winning. YMMV.
