Stop saying "the economy is doing well" when what you mean is "stocks are up and everyone I know personally in my friday night poker game / sex crime club is fine." Those are different sentences.
@Daojoan Correct! The "mood ring for rich people" (stock market) is doing well.
@Daojoan As long as the rich realize incomes hundreds times more than the poor or even middle class, the economy is not doing well. Been this way for a long time but it continues to be worse than ever. People need to rise up, including the Democratic party. Net worth disparity even worse.
@Daojoan Another of those contrasts between the USA and the U.K., probably other western countries too. The bleating about the stock market doing well and seeing that as the economy isn’t as big a thing. I suppose the U.K. it’s more an obsession with house prices and retail sales.
