The story is somehow even worse than the headline. It never identifies a "bigger problem" that Harris has to solve now that inflation has fallen. It's literally just blaming her for things going back to normal. www.politico.com/news/2024/08...

Sure, our problems are steadily improving, but the passage of time is inevitably bringing us all closer to death and Harris has no answer for that at all.

I guess one challenge is that things won’t go back to normal until wages catch up.

It’s basically “sure, people like lower prices, but the economy won’t be as big without price gouging!”

“It’s bad that inflation has fallen. But we can’t say why. Just blame Harris, kthanxbi”

There's a fun defeatism in here that it boils down to 'well, when she's president she'll have to run the country'.

I just want to hear what happens in editorial pitch meetings at such outlets. Pretty sure they’re, like, “Sure the economy is great and everyone loves her, but what absurd angle will drive that guy Hobbes most crazy. That’s what I need!!”

Weird clickbait, where the thing the headline is hinting at to lure you in isn't in the article. In their style guidelines they must have a (Insert bad thing here) for Dem headlines.

Normalcy is bad, you see. The hallmark of economic turmoil has always been predictability

Wait until these guys hear that she isn't even the president! I bet they will feel very foolish indeed

They wrote an entire article out of the NYT staple, "Inflation is falling. Here's why that's bad for B̶i̶d̶e̶n̶ Harris."
