Stupidity is when someone tells me their job does not pay higher than when they had “no job”, “no trade school”, higher food prices along with their buddies out of work when the rich were getting richer…
He is telling me that when his wife’s pay is up 10%…

This guy lives in Kentucky...in a rural community...

“Higher interest rates and labor costs are more than offsetting lower feed and fertilizer expenses. Land values are continuing to be relatively strong, despite shrinking farm profit margins and climbing interest rates. However, signs indicate that land price growth is slowing down, but overall, the balance sheet for agriculture remains favorable heading into 2024.”
South Dakota
South Dakota ranked in the top five states for growth in gross domestic product and personal income during the first quarter of 2023, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. The state's
real GDP went up +10.1% and personal income went up +9.2%.

"We attracted new companies and helped existing ones expand, achieved record job growth, and improved our state's fiscal health.
2023 was another year of historic progress"
"Illinois had an incredible year for economic development. From a record number of loans provided to start and grow small businesses to record tourism achievements, Illinois is the place to be,".

Yep, the economy is much worst under Biden in the locations I'm personally associated with...rural, urban, red state and blue state.
That's their feelings.

Yet, talking to people from the above three states I'm associated with...people
feel like the economy is worse under Biden when in reality is much better especially now that they have higher-paying jobs that are keeping up with inflation and the cost of living in their community.
Therefore, if they want to go back to the economy that was about to fall over the edge and then fell off the edge in 2020...
enjoy Trump 2024 - 2028 and America is flooded with products from his
buddy China (Trump's favorite metric has always been Trade with China...a trade war that Biden is winning).

Thus, Trump needs to stick to the issues about the Southern border, Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Hamas, and stay away from the Economy & Abortion...he'll win just as long he does
not become a convicted felon.
Reality, Trump will not do better considering he'll adopt the same border measure that he encourage our dysfunctional Republicans to block for political gain after getting everything they wanted.
Yet, America's #stupidity will not surprise me if we have a
convicted felon as the President of the United States...thanks to the Supreme Court.
I Gotta Feeling (it's about those feelings...economy is bad when it really is good)
