    The missing part of the discussion is always “better for who?”

    The benefits of economic activity don’t automatically go to most people. They’re not even the likely ones to benefit from it.

    But it’s pretty easy for media and gov propaganda to frame it in generic terms like “the economy is good, look at these hand picked stats that say so!”
