Uh no? Compare employment numbers from whichever source you prefer. Democratic presidents have lower unemployment.

That's not true. They definitely should do way more to help the working class but the numbers show that the economy in general is better under them.

You're essentially agreeing to the person you're responding to...

I think the average people do benefit as well not just the wealthy even though they do benefit more.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Wealthy people have enough money to spread around and diversify. Even if their money in US market is in red, their money in European and Asian markets is in green. And that's without taking gold or silver into account.

Uh, yes. We could talk about unemployment numbers, but even if we did (and i have a distinct feeling you're being vague because you don't plan to) those numbers aren't by a long shot the only metric we use measuring the economy.

In fact a lot of ways "the economy" is measured doesn't take into account things the average citizen cares about, like cost of living etc. hence my use of the widespread pejorative "rich peoples yacht money

I'm pretty sure average citizens care about being employed. But that's just me.

Sound less like a redditor please. I left to escape the endless line of empty fucking quipbirds, with no fucking meat, no substance behind their words. If i want to hear an empty ass i'll just eat beans

Says the guy who quipped about yacht economy. Eat a dick.
