    It’s all anecdotal, folks.

    I won’t vote for Trump, I just don’t like having to eat a shit pie and being told it’s french silk caramel, and if I say otherwise I’m Republican, Uneducated, or something else equally insulting.

      Except noone of substance is telling you anything is french silk caramel. Your whole position is based on a incorrect premise that is the result of what appears to be a false dichotomy.

      If you’re position is this detached from reality, it’s no surprise you’re being accused of being uneducated or something equally insulting.

          The whole debate is over the definition of a word so of course it’s going to be pedantic. Lol I’m not even sure you understand what that words mean.

          “OMG we’re in a recession”

          “Well, no not technically because the definition you are using is not the actual definition”

          “OMG you’re trying to tell me the economy is french silk caramel!”

          “Uh that’s not what they’re saying”

          It this is “pedantry” then surely you don’t understand the term.

              You waited 12 days to respond with this garbage? lol I would have just moved on. It’s like your desperate to remind everyone how dumb you are.

                I’m back on lemmy. Hello, dumbfuck. Feel stupid yet? As inflation increased, job markets weakened, the housing market continued to be open sewage, industries had massive layoffs, the middle class is smaller and has less power than ever, and the public began to be more amenable to fascism because of economic strife, you still think the economy was doing a-ok? Still think the economists who use different definitions in order to try to capture the spirit of the meaning after the fact precisely because the same metrics don’t always tell the same story might just maybe consider using that word now? No? Ok, we’ll just pretend the gatekeeping of that word had no ulterior political motive that bit us all in the ass. Head back in the sand.
