Wait... I thought Trump was going to have inflation and grocery prices fixed on day 1
I know it's been said, but it bears repeating, for the willfully ignorant in the back
He said he was being sarcastic.
That was about the Ukrainian peace deal.
Sorry, I'm having trouble keeping track.
Honestly, that's kind of the point. Shovel 20 horrific things into the pipe, you notice one, 19 horrific things slide past.
They are already doing it. Look at the illegal immigration numbers, which they released with no documentation for either Biden's ludicrously high numbers to Hitlerapig's ludicrously low numbers.
HitlerPig wouldn't release a single number for anything without sweetening it in his favor.
Everything from this administration should be assumed to be a blatant lie.
Of course
We’ve been in a recession. The word you’re looking for now is depression.
Not really, maybe a blip of something in 2021-2022, but generally the US economy as a whole has been doing alright - Real GDP. Individual people though have been getting beaten up recently, but boy is that about to get worse.
I guess he will hang up curtains in the market aisles, so that people don't know that they are bare at a glance.
Housing market crash when?
Probably never. Land is a very finite resource violently controlled by a smaller and smaller group of people. There's no reason for them to dump their holdings. People literally need land to survive. It's the ultimate and original capitalist cash cow. It's a fundamental pyramid scheme on human needs along with food, water, air, etc. That's a very solid foundation in a fascist police state.
when even weathier than average citizens can't afford it, then billionaires can buy up everything for chump change and squeeze that money back out of the populace with absurd rent that nobody will even try to undercut. especially now that anyone with one or more brain cell knows this whole idea of 'checks and balances' only applies to the poor
And once people have nothing left to lose and their families are starving they drag the rich into the streets and beat them to death with asphalt torn from the roads. History has repeated this scenario over and over again.
As of 2023 there are 735 billionaires in the US, and 340,000,000 non-billionaires.
Why hasn't this happened in Russia?
Part history, part cultural differences. It would take quite the write-up to get into those two in relation to Russia, but that's the short answer.
Memory of conditions following the collapse of the USSR? For the most part conditions are still way better than they were 30 years ago in Russia, but who knows if they keep sliding back
Welp...
If you don't test for recession, there can't be any recession, right...???
🙄 🙄 🤡 🤡
If you didn't catch me cheating I didn’t cheat.
