Oddly one of the #perfume blogs I follow has been deep into #vibecession posting for months now and just put out an excellent meditation on how things have been getting objectively better while FEELING subjectively worse... youtu.be/HAUhEHDt2YY?...

G. Elliott Morris and David Nir ask, "Why are Americans still furious about high prices?" Their analysis reveals consumer sentiment may not recover until 2030 or later, with excess inflation potentially lingering until 2029. Bold policy action is essential, not patience. Read their full article to understand why voters won't just "get over it": https://www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-05-05-how-long-until-economic-vibes-recover #inflation #economy #vibecession
It'll be years before Americans get used to higher prices — and politicians can't just wait it out

Consumers will eventually adjust, but in the meantime, they'll keep punishing leaders who don't act

Paul Krugman asks: Why are Americans feeling so down about the economy? Despite decent objective data, consumer sentiment remains low, creating a "vibecession." He explores theories like high price levels, and suggests 2024 election misinformation may be a key factor.

Apparently, a #vibecession is when things are going so well with the economy that workers are torching warehouses and firebombing CEO's homes.

“But as #DanDavies writes there might not have been any particular trigger for the #Vibecession. ‘Vibes might be like a supercooled fluid, just waiting for a random shock to change phase.’ The #pandemic was the shock.” open.substack.com/pub/kyla/p/e...

Scott Alexander analyses the "#vibecession", a growing trend towards negative sentiments and pessimism despite all economic indicators being up. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/vibecession-much-more-than-you-wanted

He can't find a smoking gun to explain it, but ignores a few massive factors that contribute to the overall sense of depression:

* global unwillingness to deal with #climatechange
* a constant draw on our attention (and therefore time) by internet platforms
* #enshittification
* #ai progress stifling attractive career paths

@j12t Ouch. I've read "The Two-Income Trap" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Two-Income_Trap but seeing the up-to-date numbers for a "middle class" family budget remains shocking.
