The White House believes American workers have seldom had it so good. And lots of prestigious economists agree. But the voters aren’t buying. Maybe they know something?

[P]erhaps the voters are sensible and the economists are obtuse. And perhaps the indicators on which economists rely no longer mean what economists suppose them to mean.

    Friend, you made the appeal to authority when you said

    TL;DR as far as I can tell its main theses are “please don’t listen to expert analysis of the economy”

    I was just pointing out that this person is of equal authority.

    I don’t really care to argue with you as there is no real point. You’re either in way too deep to be convinced or you are astroturfing for the DNC or some other political org. I think it is just the former, but the more times I see your comments saying a lot of the same things and vehemently defending Biden, I am beginning to wonder.

    Oh, and I read your other comment, but I always doubt someone’s intent when they are asking folks to go outside beehaw for a comment. Often times that is to lure folks somewhere with fewer rules. Again, I don’t think that is what you are trying to do, but also again I have seen you do it a couple times which gives me a kernal of doubt.

    Anyhow, have a good evening.

      I posted an incredibly detailed layout of what I think of this guy’s analysis and why I think it’s crap, and invited you to talk about it with me if you’d like.

      You could have saved yourself some typing just by saying “no, I don’t want to do that.” You don’t need to justify. Cheers as well.
