do you want my homemade orange sauce recipe for orange chicken, you can just buy breaded chicken for it

and because mechanically we were wrong, that means our lived experiences of being able to afford less and closing it didn't matter, because that would be bad for the Democrats

because purely mechanically by the numbers we were wrong about the economy, average or median wages were up, unemployment was down, but that masks the terrible job market and the actual expendable income of many people because of rising prices

and the middle and upper class liberals who were invested in toeing the party line under Biden started getting really mad at all of us peasants because insisting the economy was bad despite the numbers was "a republican talking point"

The growing wealth disparity between us and the wealthy means the economy cares less about us, and the wealthy are doing pretty good while the rest of us are in recession conditions. but because the overall economy is growing and the wealthier making bank, it's *fine*

see the issue is our experience with the economy, food prices, inability to buy homes, cars expensive, is not representative of the economy in any way. The rising food prices increases the amount of money flow which is good for the economy, houses are still being bought by companies, so money flows

Zelda cries and charge up power sword so man can fight other big man because she's not allowed to have agency type shit

i would believe it was her honest reaction to being interrupted by the peasants outside.

Please do not say the two parties are the same despite the Democrat party's transparent desire to become the Republican party

The Democrat party will move heaven and earth to soothe the tears of any number of temporarily embarrassed nazis, but expecting them to fight for affordable health care or trans rights is "purity politics" and simply unreasonable to expect

because of this liberals have been calling the economy a roaring success since like 2022 even though no one can buy anything because money is still flowing and money flowing makes the economy look good on paper

there's also the fact that things like grocery prices aren't really considered as a detriment on the economy as a whole, and that wages on average are technically growing so the costs are considered a non-issue.
