    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
