i have no interest in wading into the chart wars because it seems to me like there is some very real and valid pain that has found arguing about misunderstood economic statistics to be an outlet. whether they are technically wrong is not the issue and is a response that could never be accepted

i did a nice lil explainer about how what he said was wrong and he should be happy that econ wasn't as bad as he thought! that just made him madder. then i checked his profile and learned that his mom, who was a nurse, had just died. so, like, y'know?
