Still staggering that this happened amidst 👇, & still incredible (alas, not really) that there’s been ~no thoughtful reflection from the Fourth Estate on how it got coverage of the Biden economy totally wrong & cued the public to think everything was terrible & worse than the Global Financial Crisis
We shifted our National Conversation™️ so seamlessly from explicit discussion of how Everyone Is Suffering From Inflation & Biden’s Economy Is Terrible to implicit media consensus that No, AKsHuALly Biden’s Economy Was Great that we never stopped to ponder whether the former was ever actually true
Anyway, pour one out for those “years of uncertainty & turmoil” & the “least responsible economic policy in 40 years.” We should be so lucky again at some point in the future.
Manufactured reality. We could hit great depression level but conservatives voters will still say all is fine if Fox doesn't report on it. Similarly if Fox says the signal leak isn't so bad, then it isn't. Hillary however, lock her up!
That's the reality of the post truth society. #eatingDogs&Cats
I blame Larry Summers. A "Democrat" braying about inflation gave the media an excuse to treat it as a legitimate concern, not a temporary blip due to a frickin global pandemic
I “get” that targeted tariffs can be an effective tool for stimulating domestic manufacturing. It’s the whole “let’s use a chainsaw when a scalpel is required and add some chaos to the mix” approach I take issue with.
Crushing the economy helps the ultrarich and the right wing.
The ultrarich will get more of the total economy, and all the pain inflicted on everyone else will help grow the right wing.
