To be joyful about the fact that they can’t pay for groceries.

This... the "The economy's doing good? News to me!" crowd actually had a point.

I like to think of it like this. If you've stopped inflation, but you haven't brought the wages up or the prices down, you haven't done anything useful.

If you've been stabbed by a serial killer, let's say it's Michael Myers or Ghostface, someone who's basically just a guy with a knife. If you've been stabbed by Ghostface and I take him out with a second amendment solution, haul the body away, and pat myself on the back for saving your life.... I am guilty of neglectful homicide. Why? Because when in that list of actions did I ever call you an ambulance or dress your knife wound? Oh that's right I didn't.
