Whenever I hear the economy is doing well I generally just think that they mean the stock market is doing well. The economy of the working class's standard of living, health, and persuit of happiness is awful.
That's such a naive bleeding heart take. If you look at the numbers, every American is making more than ever on average.
So problem solved, we're killing it. No need for a second metric or to think about the implications of that statement any further.
