We should have a drinking game.

About dumb people such as yourself. DER EKERNOMY!

Inflation has been combated and is coming down. Anyone who thinks otherwise wants to cling to the past in hopes this becomes a viable campaign issue that helps Clownzo. Clowzno is running out of things to catastrophize and campaign on, so he has to make up stuff that his cultist lap up. Sick.

Who knew high-end watermelons were the culprit behind our bad economy, wide-open borders, violent crime, burning cities and trannies armed to the teef ...

Well, the Circle K corndog price increase to $1.50 from $1 will throw the family budget all to sh!t.

The average watermelon weighs 20 pounds. As an insurance salesman, I have to be frugal with my money and can't be paying $460 for one of these Lexus watermelons that HT enjoys in his retirement while posting here all day.

MUH WERTERMELON PERSES! THE EKERNOMY IS BERD!

But they'd have to increase by 26 times to get them to where you say they are now.

Let's update the HT scorecard: Juneteenth is in December. Aircraft can't transport tanks. Greater numbers are less than smaller numbers. Primary losers can't run in the general election. Watermelons cost $23 a pound. The "L" here being Pimpadeaux leading you to reality. Enjoy the ride.

So you, too, believe that watermelon is $23 a pound? Let the MAGAturd deflections begin! Walmart has lots of watermelons in the NYC area for vastly less than $23 a pound. PM me your addresses so I can send you watermelons so as you don't get duped by some street-corner melon salesman trying to get you to pay $23 a pound.

HT so desperately wants the economy to be bad that he is willing to pay more than 26 times the going price of watermelon to prove it.

Watermelon prices are $23 a pound? You're only off by a few decimals, Mike Mathmatics. https://www.selinawamucii.com/insights/prices/united-states-of-america/watermelon/ Maybe you're confusing watermelon with filet mignon, boyo.

What a focking ignorant racist knuckle dragger you are. Sad. (And it's Kool-Aid, illiterate moron.) Oh, and watermelon prices have decreased the past couple of months, Stanley Statistic. https://procurementtactics.com/watermelon-prices/ Insurance salesman pwns you again.

Says the guy who on one hand whines about gas prices, doesn't understand the basic supply-and-demand economics of it and then about oilfield unemployment while happily paying $1.25 for a gallon of gas. I'm happy to pay $3 at the pump so our hard-working, God-fearing oilfield workers remain on the job. You just blamed liberals for car thefts. A political philosophy doesn't fuel car thefts. Because vehicles and their parts became more expensive thanks to supply and demand, vehicle theft became more lucrative. In general, the economy is anything but bad. Certain aspects are absolutely rolling while others are not, but you'll ignore a mountain of facts and throw the baby out with the bathwater because politics drives you. So ignorant, but certainly entertaining.

Let's take job growth. https://www.hrdive.com/news/breaking-down-the-monthly-bls-job-report/568584/

Still meandering in conjecture. OK, here's unemployment: https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000 Download: Year Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec 2014 6.6 6.7 6.7 6.2 6.3 6.1 6.2 6.1 5.9 5.7 5.8 5.6 2015 5.7 5.5 5.4 5.4 5.6 5.3 5.2 5.1 5.0 5.0 5.1 5.0 2016 4.8 4.9 5.0 5.1 4.8 4.9 4.8 4.9 5.0 4.9 4.7 4.7 2017 4.7 4.6 4.4 4.4 4.4 4.3 4.3 4.4 4.3 4.2 4.2 4.1 2018 4.0 4.1 4.0 4.0 3.8 4.0 3.8 3.8 3.7 3.8 3.8 3.9 2019 4.0 3.8 3.8 3.7 3.6 3.6 3.7 3.6 3.5 3.6 3.6 3.6 2020 3.6 3.5 4.4 14.8 13.2 11.0 10.2 8.4 7.8 6.8 6.7 6.7 2021 6.4 6.2 6.1 6.1 5.8 5.9 5.4 5.1 4.7 4.5 4.1 3.9 2022 4.0 3.8 3.6 3.7 3.6 3.6 3.5 3.6 3.5 3.6 3.6 3.5 2023 3.4 3.6 3.5 3.4 3.7 3.6 3.5 3.8 3.8 3.8 3.7 3.7 2024 3.7 Unemployment is a big economic indicator. Is unemployment up or down?

Inflation has slowed. Car and gas prices have come down, although the latter will tick up as we head into spring and then travel season. Mortgage rates aren't great, but they're not nearly as crazy as they have been at certain points in the past. Again, I'm not seeing anything that indicates a "bad economy." A mixed bag of good and not-good news doesn't indicate a bad economy. I see a lot of catastrophizing and fear-mongering, but where are the facts regarding this "bad economy?" I've pointed to myriad indicators that the economy is good.

Why did your company lay off 600 people?

They are. Google it, chief. Still waiting on someone to post a real indicator of a bad economy.

Again, I would like to stick to analyzing economic indicators that would show whether we have a bad economy. All the ones I'm seeing point to the economy being good right now. Inflation resulted from simple supply and demand. Demand and supply both dropped off during COVID, and when demand roared back to life, supply couldn't keep up with it, hence inflation. Then Russia invading Ukraine compounded all that. Since then, inflation has slowed. Prices are coming down. Unemployment is at or near record lows. Consumer confidence is high. All we have from the far right are catastrophizing statements that don't logically follow economic facts and the circumstances that led to them.

So setting aside all this lying, and the fact that we'll always have people living paycheck to paycheck, just exactly where are these indicators of a bad economy? Let's examine facts without conjecture. I tend to look at indicators such as unemployment, wages, inflation, consumer confidence, markets, etc. I don't believe economists lump lying into any of those indicators. Show us exactly why this economy is the worst since the 1970s and worse than the 2008-09 Great Recession.

So what indicators do you use to classify this as the worst economy since the 1970s, worst than the Great Recession of 2008-09?

Perhaps we should label MAGAturds as Prosperity Deniers, among other things they deny without actually looking at facts.

Yeah, the Dow went from 27,000 to 18,000 in March 2020. Now it's sitting at 38,600. There's that upside-down MAGAturd logic, that everything is worse now even though it's way better. WE KERNT FEED ER FAMILIES!
