People need to stop referring to "the economy" when they actually just mean "having a good job that pays the bills" or simply "having a good life where I am thriving."
Because when politicians and pundits refer to "the economy" they are talking about the stock market or GDP.
For too long we've accepted the lie that those things are correlated, but they aren't.
Talking about "the economy" is just gaslighting. Be explicit about what you want from the people in power.
