Republicans can no longer lie about the US economy bc it's going gangbusters & Americans are feeling it:

"The US is growing above trend .. wages are growing faster than the rest of the inflation basket, so real disposable income is rising .. alongside this is a MASSIVE wealth effect from the stock market & the housing market .. &, all of this comes on top of healthy HH balance sheets. .. US consumption is more durable than the bears believe."
-Goldman Sachs

@KimPerales Lest we get too excited about the numbers, remember that the average worker doesn’t see it this way. They see these incremental wage increases as something that helps them to get a little more above drowning in debt but doesn’t get them out of the inflationary pain they have struggled with for years. They have lost ground in quality of life, affording housing. Wealth should not be measured by the stock market, where growth is based on inflation of stock value.

TIL learned that the typewriter industry operated more than once as a giant, monopolistic trust and that is how QWERTY became our standard. I admire the dogged scholarship of Koichi Yasuoka on the topic. https://yasuoka.blogspot.com/
