    Or, and hear me out, she might just be pointing out how the behavior in the first two panels eventually unquestionably leads to the second and third.

    Also, while unemployment maybe ‘low’ (and given how those numbers are often drawn from who’s pulling unemployment benefits, and at least in America they kick you off those after a little bit, I also wonder about those statistics, but I digress…) many people who are employed are severely underemployed, which is just as bad in the long run.

      Granted, but if the stats are being skewed to make the economy look good, so would stats from other years because the government always wants everything to look good. Same goes for people being underemployed - I’ve been hearing that since at least the 90s. The truth is that unemployment right now are not historically high - everybody just wants to feel like their experience is unprecedentedly horrible. It’s really not. And again, this isn’t taking the side of greedy billionaires, it’s just the truth. We should all be on the side of truth - even if it contradicts a meme.
