I think that most people that think the economy is bad are in a bad situation themselves or are just parroting what they’ve heard on tv. By almost every economic metric the us economy is in good shape. Other than inflation but I don’t think any president is going to fix that in one term

This makes it sound like inflation isn't as bad as it is. This is the highest period of inflation in 50 years.

So basically here you admit that although the economy is in a good shape, lots of people are still struggling. So I have to ask; why should anyone who can't make ends meet give a shit how strong the economy is?

but you see, people struggling is just the price of having a great economy where the stock market reaches new heights each and every day

Besides, having more desperate people willing to be exploit is good for the economy. I don't even see what the problem here is.
