Why, you will just make up things to be a contrarian to align the world to your rose-tinted glasses, again.

Are you hearing yourself? How thick is this wall surrounding your skull, this blanket of identity you use to define your entire persona, a Democrat Party sycophant. Completely blind to reality.

For once in your life, try to be honest. Fuck's sake. The economy isn't in good shape. We can debate the particulars, but you trying to convince yourself and us that everything is fine is shockingly brazen. Even for you.

I do not get how the right are whining about inflation, pull yourselves up by your boot straps and get better jobs.

Lol

Semantical arguments driven by politics trying to deflect blame. You can hair split all you want whether we're in an "official" recession but everyone that's at least somewhat economically literate realizes we're in something much worse, a stagflation. Weak growth, high inflation globally. We're probably going to see the unemployment rate start to climb in 2023 significantly. You have china with spiking Covid cases looking to shut down again. Credit card balances jumped 15% in Q3 in the US. And and and on. Talk to people and you'll see they are being squeezed left and right.

Two years ago my job was fantastic and satisfying. I had plenty of leisure spending money and there was no fear of that changing.

Today I make a little bit more than I need to be comfortable, and any leisurely spending is out of the question.

How pretentious of you to act like Americans aren’t just dealing with reality. Like people are sucking their thumbs in the fetal position with d2jsp on the iPhone.

Life was great two years ago. Today, milk costs my family $7.00 a gallon.



Let’s apply this hideous argument to, say a good shortage. Your logic dictates that because we can live for well over a week without food, we should just pick ourselves up by our bootstraps and try to get two rations this week instead of one. You are literally saying we shouldn’t be talking about how awful our country has become economically in the past two years.

Correct me if I am wrong but you are saying we shouldn’t even talk about it because we are more than strong enough to endure?

Well, at least we have an admission that inflation is a problem. We know you're being a smart ass, but that is one of the best ways to tackle it, system wide. Nut up and produce more and work more so there's more stuff to buy with all these inflated dollars. The answer is not to print more dollars, which I'm sure is your only solution.

what did Bush say... it should be an honor for Americans to have 2 jobs. Get off your ass and get the 2nd job if its so rough for you.

It has been an honor knowing you took time out of your day to tell me useless shit. When does your 10% warn come?

whether it's cascadian, crossbones, sioux, netflix or saucisson, you won't ever have a normal, rational conversation with these people.
It's not about being pro trump or pro biden, this is boring to read and the reality is way simpler, they just dont have the ability to think for themselves and will follow medias at any time, any subject.
they don't have much to say by themselves as you can see, resort to insults then ask proof of your claims like robotic beings.

Now, to all the people thinking everything is fine, I have a sad announce for you : growth won't come back. you'll have to do with less energy/resources.

for what? you need safe space?
