Today's economy and low gas prices

Nowadays, many news statistics have proved that today's economy has improved and gotten better and we're out of the late 2000's/early 2010's economic recession, and gas prices are low now, and that's enough to make people happy.

However, it's too bad that I see so many countless people on the Internet, in particular Youtube, whining about how everything today sucks.

What about low gas prices? People used to hate how high gas prices were, but now they're low again, and that's enough to make people happy and stressfree, but people still want to whine about how everything today sucks.

Plus, the economy has gotten better, news statistics have proved that today's economy has gotten better, yet people today still want to gripe about how everything today sucks.

Heh.

People used to be very stressed about how horrible the economy was back in the late 2000's/early 2010's and how high gas prices were, but now gas prices are low and the economy has gotten better, and that should make people happy and have less stress in their lives...but people still complain that everything today sucks.

I actually saw a Youtube comment saying how everything started going downhill in 2013.

2013? Really?

After 2013, the economy got better and gas prices got better, even cartoons got better and music got only a slightly little bit better, but someone says stupid crap about how everything went downhill after 2013.

I also saw another Youtube comment about how this decade gets worse as the years go by.

Unless something truly bad happens in 2017, 2018 or 2019 or even at the end of 2016, it isn't getting worse.

I know entertainment today might not be the greatest and all, but the economy has improved and gotten better and gas prices are low, and that's what's really important.

The 1930's might've been a good decade for entertainment, but it was the decade of the Great Depression, which is the worst economic recession of ALL time.

And what was more important, the entertainment or the fact that people were so dirt poor they didn't have any money and had to wait in long lines for food?

Is it bad that I think this decade is getting better as the years go by?

I know entertainment today might be mostly garbage, but the economy has gotten better and gas prices are low and that is what is really important.

Why do people complain how everything today sucks even though gas prices are low and the economy is a lot better, which is enough to make them happy and not give them stress?

These are people who probably have nothing better to do with their lives and all they want to do is whine and complain.

I am sorry to tell you, but things are not at all as rosy as it seems. For starters, I saw an article that says that all OPEC is trying hard to higher the gas prices again. The article said that gas prices are soon going to go up.

The people who make those videos bitching about life are probably stuck at their mom and dad's house. There is good reason for it too. Most of the jobs reported today are part-time and/or low-paying jobs. This is nothing like a Reagan recovery.

The government lies about the unemployment rate to fool most of the public. Every time people stop looking for work the government no longer counts them and uses the trick to lower the unemployment rate. This is wrong since the people still don't have a job. Obama, despite spending more than all the president's before him, is still the first president to not have more than 3% GDP in a single year. Also labor force participation is at an all time low. This hasn't been that low since the Carter years.

You seem to follow the lamestream press too much. They lie and do everything they can to make Democrats look good. They distort by saying Obamacare isn't that bad and blacks and Hispanics are doing better which is another lie. Despite being extremely old, the main idea in "Network" is still the same about TV media lying like hell. You probably have never seen the film.

One last thing, the next few years don't look rosy at all. Obama has spent so much money and so has the FED we are heading toward a collapse sometime next year. We are going to have hyperinflation and food will be in low supplies. Most people will be displaced because they can't afford sky-high mortages anymore. Like in small towns and country side could be like the film "Grim." This has been planned for a really long time. If you want to see what is coming, see the film "the Running Man" soon.

Frackers have massively increased stocks of crude while demand is falling because of demographic reasons....
