    “The economy” only refers to the rich and their wealth inside the castle, not at all to you or I sitting in the mud.

    The economy could be absolutely booming and simultaneously the majority of the working class could be unemployed/underpaid/in debt/starving/etc. Which is exactly what is going on right now.

      Yeah. I wonder if he knows how much smaller the group of people that see themselves “in the economy” is.

      They are the people that will pay him so he might not notice or care but the people being helped by a stagnant ok economy doing business as usual is getting smaller by the year.

      Wait till all the AI robits take er jerbs. The only thing that may make that stop is the fact that all the consumers will have starved to death. But, they will find some way to plug that gap and keep going.
