Have you ever smelled Durian fruit? Don’t. “It’s odor is best described as pig-shit, turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock. It can be smelled from yards away. Despite its great local popularity, the raw fruit is forbidden from some establishments such as hotels, subways and airports, including public transportation in Southeast Asia.”

From the article
Since the first rumblings of the financial crisis, in 2007, people have comforted themselves by looking back to the Great Depression and thinking about how much worse things could be. It’s true, too. Our modern economic crisis has been far less severe than the Depression.
Yet our crisis isn’t over. By almost any measure — employment, income, net worth, total output — the economy is still suffering.
Of course, writer David Leonhardt avoids mentioning Obama, or assigning any blame for the terrible recovery, and attempts to point towards 2019 as being bad (and that Government should spend oodles of money, because that worked wonders, eh?), but, the basics are there: the Obama economy was terrible. Eight years of ineffective policies and massive debt really didn’t help.
Of course, if things are so so in 2019, they’ll simply blame Trump. We won’t hear the whole “inherited” meme.
