This sounds nice and pithy but it’s exactly what I repeated to conservatives throughout the pandemic.

Cons: “No one around me is dying and we’re all fine. I went to the hospital and it’s empty. What’s the big deal???”

Everyone with half a brain: “You’re talking about anecdotes. What matters is the data and it’s damning. Lots of people are dying.”

Edit:

To clarify, I mean that this applies to the economy as a whole. Not that everyone does well when the market does.
