    I really hope you are being facetious here.

    The economy is booming. Your slow at work because it’s winter/spring when everything slows down. I drive for a living and can tell you that from what I see, people definitely look like they feel more flush and everywhere is hiring. Not all companies have upped their starting pay to bring in the real talent but some have and those are the companies who will flourish longer term.

    I’ll bet you also think that global warming isn’t real because you saw snow and felt cold this winter.

      The Fed is your #1 trusted source? Cool

      Do you know who runs the Fed? Hint: its not the US Gov because the Fed isnt actually a Federal entity.

      Did you say “All the major bank heads in America”? If so, you win a prize!!!

      Yes, those people are always so above board, eh?

        I didn’t say what my source was. The fact that you think it was “the fed” or the head of any bank tells me that you have no idea how any of this actually works.

        I’m talking about real numbers and what I see day to day.

        You have a nice day now.

      I also drive for a living, and boy is it slow out there.

      And ohhhh, you think I’m a solipsist because I used personal experience to back up my claims. Cool.

      That’s what’s going on in reality, though. Try touching some grass rather than believing what you see on a screen.
