Bit of a strange take. There’s multiple economists expressing puzzlement around the resilience of consumer spending. Don’t think the NYT is expressing an opinion one way or the other here. (FD - I blocked NYT in 2016 and haven’t looked back, but for other reasons).
> The NYT is a highly leftist paper
How can you tell someone spends all their time falling down right-wing rabbit holes? Because they all seem to think that the New York Times, that bastion of waffling milquetoast enlightened centrism, is tantamount to communist propaganda.
