You said it well - "tangent". I would say that is a huge misunderstatement, though.
My point is we measure too frequently wellbeing with GDP and the stock markets.
"quantifying things based on economy" What's your point and what do you mean?
BTW, Long term neither Harris or Trump are in power. So, attributing direct responsibility to the president for how the economy is doing without further context is misadvised at best.
Love your optimism!
