Americans feel more and more glum, data shows. Economists are over it
It's been a non-stop inflation show for six years and they can't figure out why people want to buy shit before they can no longer afford those things due to the rapid inflation?
I spent more than I wanted to and should have on PC parts in the last year... But waiting risked the prices going even higher and becoming more unaffordable (which yes fucking happened with the items I got which are now MUCH more expensive than they already were).
Like the idea that they can't put together a strong economy comes from the poorest scrambling to get their before their last chance to do so dries up.
We all know this is unsustainable and collapse is inevitably coming. Why wouldn't we be spending now to prepare for the collapse?
Do they think we can just...stop buying things? Boy I sure have tried but unfortunately I still need to eat food, still need to pay rent, and still need to wear clothes. Maybe if I can ascend from my fleshy form to a higher level of being I'll get to stop spending money, but unfortunately as is I have no choice if I want to survive.
good
Gosh, I wonder why everyone is so bummed out when Amerika is so great again… /s
Maybe if we didn’t have such a lunatic in charge we wouldn’t feel so glum.
Maybe if we didn’t have all these companies that continue to swallow smaller companies only to lay off the staff they just acquired for “profits go up” we wouldn’t feel so glum.
Maybe if companies weren’t telling us that a computer is going to actually replace us this time, or maybe sometime in the near future so don’t get comfortable where you are we wouldn’t be so glum.
Maybe if the minimum wage could actually let someone comfortably rent an apartment without having to worry about going homeless we wouldn’t e so glum.
Maybe if we didn’t have to have our healthcare tied to our employer, so we could follow our passion projects instead of selling our souls to the biggest business in your area we wouldn’t be so glum.
Maybe if the planet wasn’t actively trying to kill us because we’ve actively been ignoring scientists who have said the climate change is real we wouldn’t be so glum.
Maybe if we invested in the culture of our cities instead of focusing on making cars go through our towns even faster we wouldn’t be so glum.
But idk, maybe I’m just a doomer.
Maybe if we werent being tracked wherever we go.
Maybe if our women family members werent having their rights stripped away by religious morons.
Maybe if our trans communities werent being placed in danger.
Maybe if Americans werent being shot dead in the street by federal agents.
Maybe if our government was doing things For us instead of To us.
Maybe if you all stopped being whiny little pussies and did something about it?
I'd to hear your plan. I'm sure it is incredibly well thought out and contends with material conditions most people live under in the country well.
but you're the antifa CEO.
Surely you have all the answers besides sarcastic whining?
What can I say if you embarrassing weaklings can't even muster a strike?
You deserve no sympathy, only ridicule.
Still waiting for you to post something insightful or valuable. I'll keep waiting!
Wow. Toxic post history on this guy.
LOL
Lie from the jump. The whole article is a lie, unless you're the upper arm of the k.
Gell-Mann amnesia, indeed.
They've corrupted how these numbers are counted decades back multiple times. You can't believe them, not at face value although they may still hold some information to divine the actual situation.
IE, the inflation rate is the prime example, understated for 50 years now giving us a pay cut every year. But look at UI, it only counts people collecting unemployment insurance.
And this was all before these geriatric clown masters got in there.
Chocolate rations are up!
Oi, dickheads, you can partially fix this in a month.
