Good I hate the economy.
- A good economy is bad for the average worker, as it means companies are doing well. Unfortunately a bad economy is also bad for the average worker, as losses are socialized, usually in tax dollars. Enjoy your existence, peasant.
- I think you're conflating the economy with the financial market.
  From an economic standpoint, we objectively are fucking up our system of resources with greenhouse gasses and other anti environmental policy.
  From a financial standpoint, selling oil makes money.
- No, you really don't. You may hate how the current economy functions, which is fair. Any system where people barter, use currency, or even a pure centrally planned communist system is an economy.
  I.e. unless you live off the land, the economy is how you keep food in the table.
  
  unless you live off the land
  That sounds awesome let’s do that
  
  if you do economy, then maybe in like 45 years
