| Meanwhile jobless claims this morning shows the labor market is cracking as claims rise to 3 month high... nothing to see here people |
As the Biden economy tanks look for may layoffs. Amazon, Walmart and others all took a hit in earnings. All the tech giants did too. People are not spending money because they either don’t have it due to inflation or they’re not making making risky investments. We’re in the verge of another recession if not depression |
We were always on the verge of a recession. Inflation should counter a depression. |
All lies. No one is taking your right away. Just chill bro … |

NASDAQ down 30% since November 2021 highs... cricket
Inflation and gas prices at all time highs... cricket President blaming economic meltdown on RUSSIA... SMH! |
What is it he should be doing? |
The markets are not the economy. We kept saying that through the sugar high juiced markets during the Trump administration. Inflation is a result of re4bounding from the dumpster fire left by the Trump Administration. Gas prices are the result of massive price gauging by the oil companies. Russia does actually have an impact, as its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine means pressure on oil and food resources for most of the world. We are all interconnected, like it or not. Decoupling from the world will make things even worse. |
Telling Powell to take one for the team (i.e. his fellow Americans, not just the Administration) and raise it to like, 15% to curb inflation We gotta suffer now to avoid catastrophe |
Stop making absurd spending proposals that will pump more money into the economy and drive inflation. Stop dangling the idiotic promise of student loan forgiveness which again will pump money into the economy and is driving another generation of students to take out loans hoping they will be forgiven. At this point he could reliably do the exact opposite of what his instincts tell him to do and we’d all be better off. |
I don't think it's his instincts. It's his advisors. |
