    As much as it pains me to agree with the Libs, I think there are some signs that the economy is gradually getting better. Not by much but maybe enough that things will be tolerable. The housing market is still fucked and probably will be for a while, but it has been for a while and people seem just resigned to it. Inflation and gas prices are coming down, there’s been some job and wage growth. Heck even with housing there has been some more building so we actually may see some minor improvement.

    This plus the threat of Trump maybe enough for Biden to clinch it.

      The only evidence I’ve seen that “the economy” is improving is that the stock market is up and TVs are cheap. Literally everything else is the same or worse.

        Unemployment is down too and also there has been wage growth in the lower sectors of the economy. Barrister and stock boys are making more. Problem is their wages were shit to start with so they’ve gone from shit to slightly less shit, and most of that improvement has been eaten up by the economy.

        Inflation does seem to be slowing, housing still sucks tho.
