    The metrics used to measure the economy are not the same metrics with which average residents measure their quality of life. We live in a world where a strong economy does not equate to quality of life for the people.

    This has been further exacerbated by the increase in wealth in equity. The way we measure the economy is a proxy for the rich getting richer. Everyone else gets fucked in a good economy and fucked harder in a bad economy.
