There is a large swath of Americans today, particularly the younger demographic, that complain about cost of living/the economy. Yet in many cases (here on this sub lately, too) we have people rushing to declare how well the economy is doing, who cite the stock market, say jobs are fine, etc. So why do we have this gap in those who are struggling vs the economy defenders?

Is it just the chronically online? Is it people who are older/wealthier and out of touch not seeing what's going on? Unreliable government reporting? Young folks having too high of expectations? Truth of the matter is, we're seeing many young people struggling today yet we're supposedly "doing great" and "the economy is doing well!" So what do you think is causing this disconnect?

Recently, Vance went on Joe Rogan and the topic went into his thoughts on Israel. Vance responded that while he isn't again Israel, he is critical of it and partially blames Israel for the Iran conflict continuing.

"In an interview published on Wednesday, Vance told conservative podcaster Joe Rogan that while he trusts some people within the Israeli government, there are others "who are manipulating and trying to change American public opinion to keep the war going on indefinitely"."

His comments seemed to have shocked and angered a lot of Republicans, with Fox News strongly condemning his comments.

I watched the whole segment on Rogan, and Vance seemed frustrated and repeatedly mentioned his failed deal. I've often said I think Trump sets him up as a "fall guy" in some cases, and it seems Vance is feeling that. There's also recent speculation that Trump is eyeing Rubio over Vance as a successor, and I can't imagine the Rogan interview will help. So how do you feel about a) his comments and b) how his party is responding?

Why is there a disconnect between how average Americans perceive the economy/cost of living vs reporting?
