    I definitely agree with you about the data, but people’s feelings do matter, that’s why we’re currently experiencing a vibecession.

      Why would people’s feelings matter when the economy is actually good? The vibecession is literally a Conservative psyop

        The entire stock market is based off investor’s feelings so why shouldn’t that also apply to the rest of the economy when market performance is a primary data point when measuring how the economy is doing?

        People’s feelings affect how they act. Those actions, collectively, can have an impact on the economy (recession spending can cause a recession), politics (especially with elections in 6 months), and society in general. As they say, “perception creates reality.”

          Why aren’t people saving up for a recession? They are spending at a very healthy level
