If you're wealthy this is probably the greatest time in history to be an American or just live/run your business here. It's literally a utopia. But if you're not.....well this is Mexico with worse public transportation. 
Is the economy actually bad ?

They'll continue to become more profitable as they cut staff and implement AI. For example, many drive through's have AI taking orders.
Look at how evil that cac looks. That's not a normal smile.
I just ordered from AI drive thru yesterday. Crazy how accurate the order was

The inflation thing and how it's crushing the middle class is just a Republican talking point to shyt on Dems. Yes inflation was up but mafukkas be talking like an extra dollar for eggs a month has them in the homeless shelter. "Bu bu but Milk went up .75 cents this year" ass nikkas.it's somewhere in the middle. it can't be "bad" because the stock market is too high, and the unemployment rate is too low. people in 2009 would be begging for this economy
and i'm only speaking for myself, but now that gas is back down to normal, i don't notice inflation like thati buy my food at costco and walmart; it's not overly expensive. the grocery store chains are more expensive, so i just dont go there
if you have non monetary assets this is probably one of the greatest times in American history
Real estate, stocks, watches, cars. All of this is appreciating

Don't worry brother. Work 1 hour and you can buy one AND keep the change!
Economy doing great
federal minimum wage is irrelevant when each state and city has their own minimum wage which is much higher than that $7.25 figure.

my 401K is up like 20% this year alone, but like ya'll said, that ain't gonna help pay any bills around here in the present day.
Trump caused this. When the tax cuts for the wealthy happened under his watch, the recipients were in a profits race. To make it not look so obvious, they gave workers raises, but offset it by raising prices.
Who wants to make less money? Nobody! So they won't drop prices, but they also won't raise wages anymore.
COVID caused a supply shortage which increased prices as well and they have not gone down much since because yachts have to be bought and shareholders hands have to get greased.
While this doesn't encompass everything, it is something that I have noticed.

The rebound of the economy from covid was always going to take some time. A once in a lifetime pandemic and you legit have folks acting like it should have little to no effect and that the economy should come roaring back in a year. It doesn't work like that.
It's improving but at its own pace.

As far as the stock market there is 0 reason not to at least have a little money in the makets. You can buy fractional shares these days. No excuse.
"The stock market isn't an economic indicator!" You're right. Congratulations. Now why did you leave that potential cash on the table?
