    We would probably be excited about something like gas prices coming down but it ultimately didn’t actually mean anything to us.

    I definitely get that at some level, but the idea that you’d actively be celebrating a strong economy really implies that it does mean something to you.

    Like, I can get landing a big salary bump or year end bonus at the end of a year and feeling celebratory. If it’s 1999 and my earning for the year shot up 20% from the year before? Fucking awesome. Break out the fireworks.

    But is that happening right now? I’m not seeing it.
