Why does it "have to be" economy? Again, the biggest takeaway is that this is who we are, as a country, and that we've ALWAYS won by the skin of our teeth. We can't even blame the electoral college on this one. The economy was, in fact, in a rebound thanks to Biden's efforts to achieve a "soft landing", and frankly, it's about to get a lot WORSE under Trump. Even Musk, who for some reason is now in Trump's orbit, has warned us all that we're in for a lot of economic pain under Trump. He puts himself in that camp, but he's literally the richest duck in the world, so of course he's not talking about himself.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
