The economy for the average Joe is worse now than a year ago. Not sure what you guys are seeing that says otherwise. Gas is still high. Grocery prices still high. Inflation still above where it should be. Energy cost are sky rocketing. Wages stagnant. 

Link?  This one would suggest you're wrong, but it doesn't break it out for the Average Joe (and as I argued last year when Dems were touting the overall economy, that's an important thing to consider):

almost every economic number from August 2025 is the very similar or worse than August 2024.

Paul Krugman warns about "stagflation."

Today I’ll look forward. Stagflation is very much on people’s minds again, for good reason. The Trump administration’s tariff and deportation policies are creating a significant inflationary shock. They’re also imposing a significant drag on economic growth. Today, it’s likely that the United States would be heading into a recession under the weight of higher prices and slower growth if the economy weren’t being supported by a huge boom in AI-related investment. And this danger remains: if the AI boom goes bust, the odds are high that the US economy will be plunged into a recession.

@snarlcakes DANC confirmed cosmic was paid. Bowl and hickory are interchangeable and obviously paid. Do you think mark is being paid?

@hurryinghoosiers we know better hickory. As do you. That’s why you tried to hide under a new handle. But you can’t mask stupid with a new handle

he thinks if he finds someone to second his opinion, then that makes it confirmed.  

illustrates the issue of social media bringing idiots together.

evidently Biden caused energy bills to sky rocket this summer too. Nipsco here is up 20%. Not sure why all the Trump guys are dodging this topic since it's clearly Bidens fault.
