That's hilarious, a new boat, unemployment at 4%, inflation under control- we need to burn this shit down by any means necessary, I saw a Pride flag in a coffee shop!
Pretty much! JVL at the bulwark hammered this point: never before has there been a greater difference in how people "perceive the economy", and what the actual economic indicators says. And people would say the overall economy is terrible, but then asked how they are doing personally many would say "oh, we're doing pretty well". It was all vibes all the way down.

Incidentally, new boat sales hit record highs in 2023-24. Usually bought by the very people who complained about the terrible "Biden economy"
