    What’s the point of this statement? Both groups of things can be true. The economy of the US, as a whole, can be booming while simultaneously having those other things be true too. The economy isn’t a measure of how individuals are doing. It’s a measure of how well the bullshit of capitalism is working. Seems to be working as intended…

      You answered your own question. The point was to explain exactly what you also chose to explain.

        It chose to explain what I explained by making the exact opposite point? You’re not making any sense. Either that stuff is related to the economy or it’s not. You can’t have it both ways.

        That’s like saying “Don’t tell me the Lions are doing well when tickets to their games cost $15/seat”. The Lions can be doing well and the seats can be cheap right now. One is not necessarily reflective of the other.

            And you’re just as stupid as you sound and look. I’m sure you’d love to enlighten me on exactly why I’m stupid?

                Ahhh yes… the deflection. The expected response of projection and mental vacuousness.

                Dumb people don’t ask. Smart people do. Seems you have it mixed up.

                    I don’t give a rat’s ass what you think. Why would I care what you think when you can’t even be honest?

                  No, it’s a fact. Intelligent people are able to determine their own lack of capacity and failure and are able to learn and educate themselves beyond their current capacity.

                  You’ve proven you can’t. If you could you’d be able to identify your own failures and how they don’t align with reality.

                    What in the hell are you talking about? I don’t entertain people who are intentionally obtuse and dishonest.
