GDP report shows real GDP grew at an annual rate of 4.9% in Q3
Edit:
The impact of inflation still hurts the common person
I feel this this is good data that the economy is going in the right direction

Now it’s even less intelligible!
Are you saying GDP growth hurts people?
GDP growth and inflation are two entirely different concepts. GDP growth does not necessarily mean more or less inflation. Just means the value of the goods and services a country produces has gone up which means the country is wealthier.

Time to look up how much gold I bought and still have from when I was a little kid and my parents paid me a pittance for working on the family farm that managed to add up because I had nothing to spend it on and I bought gold because my mom was a weird Christian who told me that one day the economy would crater and gold would be the only thing worth anything and I totally believe my uneducated mom on economic matters because she was my mom and parents are always right at that age.

This is definitely a contender for the best run-on sentence in the history of the forum.

Let's try this with a quote rather than a standalone page starter.
Sure, it's run on, but is it even a sentence if I am omitting the implied "It is" at the start of the would be sentence?

I looked up what I bought gold at back in the 80's and 90's. Considerably lower than today. Bult I think stocks would have been the much better choice.
