It's not in spite of these indicators, it's *because* of them. Affluence and ennui are powerful drivers of modern authoritatianism.
Still hard to believe we voted for fascism with unemployment at 4.2%, the strongest performing economy in the rich world, & inflation, at 2.4% PCE in Nov 2024, closer to target than 85% of the months since we established it in 2012: bsky.app/profile/mcop.... Verily, a marvel of political economy.
