Via Bluesky, here’s a fun graph: Americans all think their local economy is doing much better than the national economy, an effect that really makes sense only through the lens of media (or social media) portraying the economy at large as being much worse than personal experience or local indicators might portray. They can’t all be right!
lol that looks like the classic Chinese GDP forecasts where every province boldly aims for 8+% growth but the country as a whole struggles to hit 5%
