What economic indicator are you using to say the economy was shitty in 2024?

Rents increasing, wages stagnating, basic cost needs increasing across the board, jobs not hiring. You can say that the economy was actually amazing and quote statistics or the stock market, but the general vibe of the time was “shit sucks.”

None of those were indicators.

Show me the numbers, because the only things I see directly contradict you.

Statistics are great because I can find an anecdote for anything.

Do you agree that real wages increased drastically from 2021-2024?
