The economy is bad until it gets good for me.
I don't care that Shlomo Shekelstein's company is the most profitable it's ever been, if the job market sucks and prices suck, then the economy sucks.

The actual day to day economy for real people is worse under Biden for the vast majority of Americans. This election is such a layup for Republicans if they played it right. Just play the clips of Biden and co in 2021 saying there is no inflation. Then show them passing massive blowout spending and everything that has ensued. That will work for the r-slurs that somehow sit on the fence in a general election.

If Republicans wanted a slam dunk they could just play ads showing Biden sniffing creeped out children's hair non-stop.

This is exactly the kind of rslurred take I expect from burgers. Wage growth has actually been strongest at the low end, for the first time since the 1970s iirc.
Meanwhile, big tech is suffering because the ZIRP party is over and they have to cut the deadwood and show profits for the first time in decades.

This is the Fatal Conceit of not adjusting for inflation. The Weimar republic was completely and utterly r-slurred, but they had wage growth technically despite having less purchasing power

Real wages are growing especially at the low end

Only in the sleight-of-hand kind of way that labor cost is synonymous with a system's wages, and labor costs are a singular input of production.
In other words, so long as labor costs grow faster than other production inputs, we can say that wages outpace the growth of prices, though this doesn't help most Americans.

I mean when they go out and measure wage growth for the bottom percentiles and they measure price growth, the measured wage growth is greater than the measured price growth. There isn't really any slight of hand there?
It seems like you have some kind of model in mind but it sounds like you're overlooking productivity growth, which explains most real wage increases. In other words in your model of the world it's impossible for real wages to ever increase over the long term but that's clearly not true; real wages are much much higher now than they were 100 years ago, obviously.

I don't believe we've seen labor productivity rise to the extent that we've seen labor costs rise.
You could argue that total productivity has grown higher than wages, though it's easier to attribute these gains to capital improvements.
To the extent that a state should distribute the fruits of capital productivity is a political question, but for those of us not within the bottom quartile, the significant increases in labor costs hasn't been positive for QoL.

I dont care about the low end. They're low for a reason. I care about the middle end. 4 years ago I could spend $60 on groceries for a week. Now that same set of groceries costs me $120. I dont care if my wages go up if my purchasing power doesnt. This is Biden's fault for not reigning in the fed.

Of course theres going to be record profits when the money supply is inflated and all your costs just massively increased. Even if your margin decreased your profits could still go up. They just repeat this stuff without a source

I lost $1,000 to the taxman in April. :(
But a Fortune 100 CEO earned $1,000 just by inhaling the very same moment I cleared the check!
So, when you think about it, the total wealth of the world increased by $2,000. And I was proud to be part of that.

Wage growth has not kept up with inflation. And if you have wages chasing inflation the problem just gets worse. You are a perfect example of why women shouldn't vote. Also please give me coins thanks.
