                I’m talking about the economy, which is booming, not about inequality which is down the drain.

                  You’re talking about the part of the economy that establishment media and politicians focus on.

                  That part overwhelmingly measures how things are for the very rich while ignoring key metrics that better reflect how the ENTIRE economy is doing.

                  I’m talking about the ENTIRE economy, which in fact has gotten steadily worse ever since the early 70s with the only major anomalies being for the WORSE.

                    Yeah, true. I talk about what 99% of people know as the economy, bnp and all that crap.

                    If you want to talk about something else, please do, but you shouldn’t use “economy” for that IMO, and trying to change what virtually everyone thinks “economy” stands for is just muddying the waters.

                    If you had said, they are unhappier, there is more poverty etc. I would have said, yes you are perfectly right.

                    But that wasn’t what was discussed.
