  1. That's what happens when we invoked Reaganomics, NAFTA, and Administrative takeover. All the jobs shipped overseas; debt became extremely cheap (driving up prices) and administrative takeover focused more on quotas than relationships. This has allowed millions of people to indulge in detrimental behaviors, lose well paying jobs, and get burnout from all the ridiculous bureaucracy that is slowing down the business sector. Children and teens are are record levels of illiteracy that we haven't seen for over a century. Single parenthood and parents that pay no attention to their kids are largely the problem.

  2. When the average American starts creating a budget list; ending Netflix, Disney+, the Gym membership. Plus starts vacationing at a Sleep-Inn, instead of a Hyatt. You know there is a looming recession... Wages keeping up with inflation? Please... As a gig worker, our average contracts have decreased 25% by price in the last year. If they matched inflation, they'd be up over 50% in the last two.

  4. 2020 - 2022 a grand total of 37% inflation according to the USD M0 Money Supply. The Feds low-ball these numbers using bs calculations in order to save face for their bond buyers. Your wages are decreasing and prices inflating. It's not going to be sustainable for much longer. Most people are ignorant of the mathematics, but they feel it at the grocery store.

  5. One might suggest that social media corporations are doing whatever they want. Considering their algorithms are manipulating the masses into such large division. What could stop that?

  6. That's why I short these M-Fers; give them a taste of their own medicine.

  7. Maybe the US NOT organizing coups and arming foreign countries won't make distal countries angry? Just a thought... The Obama Administration started this conflict and now the average person has to deal with the consequences.

  9. As an investor; July 28th was on my calendar for months. The release date for GDP Q2. Every single analysis put the GDP to a negative 1% or 2%; so that's what was expected. Not to mention, on top of another interest rate hike. Never before in my entire life have I seen the stock market go BULL - straight ahead "Green" with the reports and metrics we are currently seeing. Not to mention NO recession? It's like owning a 1 Billion dollar company and the day they claim bankruptcy; investors think they are worth 10 Billion; it defies logic. What people don't realize though, is that the Federal Reserve has never been more invested in the American NASDAQ and DOW. They are using your tax-payer dollars in order to purchase fortune 500 company stocks at TOP price, all to stop a crash from happening on the Biden Administration's head. When people look back, they will truly wonder how the US Government became involved in the largest set of cover-ups in history. Playing off Covid as a non-US funded 'natural' virus AND blackmailing US companies and Federal agencies to cover up a deliberate attack on the US economy.

  10. Try 52% since January 2020 lol

  11.  @seanh5922  Or it could mean 30%+ inflation we've seen since January 2020. It's reflected in virtually all commodities market wide. Blaming demand alone is foolish.

  12. The IRS is absolutely swamped; both in funding and labor shortages. They absolutely DO NOT have the resources to throw on anymore filing requirements than are already on the books. This is largely why they are defying a congressional LAW on the 1099-K forms for things like Venmo. The 87,000 agents are a hiring standard to be implemented over ten years; simply because they do not have the staffing needed to adequately process their normal volume. The cascading problems are absolutely insane at most facilities under the Internal Revenue Service.

  13. Agriculture crisis will be here starting September; energy to follow at the same time. It won't take that long for the market to blunder; probably less than 18 months.

  14. I was a truck driver for Anheuser (day-cab, home daily). 6 days a week, 72 hours. On January 2020, they had us sign a paper that took our 13 days of unpaid vacation away and gave us 8 total; for the entire year mind you! I quit within 6 months. The corporate labor markets are absolutely ridiculous and medical professions are no different.

  16.  @latexsolarbeef4990  Forget everything you THINK you know. Start to reclaim your theories based on EVIDENCE. That is how people stop deluding themselves with media crap. Ask yourself why you hate Trump and when you reassess your conclusions with evidence, you'll stop hating him so much.

  17. I left the trucking industry in June 2020 when they took away my 13 unpaid vacation days and gave me 8. Mind you, I was already on a 6 day - 12 hours schedule. I can't imagine how squeezed independent contractors in trucking feel. Especially if fuel has doubled in price, but freight/broker rates haven't been raised.

  18. My KhW rates have gone up 13%, 22%, and 21% in the past three consecutive months. Though, let's not kid ourselves; most Americans don't even know how to look at their KhW charge on the bill.

  19. Twitter will easily lose some 40% of it's public worth come Monday. As an investor with 'more moral sentiment than most', it's hilarious to watch this company burn.

  20. I understand your compassion, but if you didn't raise rent. Then naturally you're absorbing the 50% or so inflation that has taken place since 2020. Don't listen to the feds, watch the USD supplies. Watching home and commodity prices go up 30% to 70% isn't an accident; it flows in congruence with our reckless printing.

  21.  @timetravela890  Rent? The average rent price is pretty similar to the average mortgage; there would just be no equity. My rent was $858 before we moved and my mortgage is $885. There is literally nowhere for people to turn to. Plus you need to consider that many rentals have a waiting list.

  22. Term limits are not going to solve the cultural crisis that the US is facing. You truly have to be living under a rock to think that politicians (alone) are the problem in comparison to the general public. I lived in this country my entire life. Never before have I seen a population that was no narcissistic, greedy, and lacking in critical thinking skills. Giving more power to the voters is what has resulted in the catastrophe we are facing. More people are now voting than every before in US history. Naturally, this forces the IQ average to decrease in relationship to political competency. In other words, the more people that vote; the more corrupt the DC politicians become. Voting used to be designated to voters of choice that were involved in politics. The more voters you add, the more low IQ voters there will be.

  24. Bud, you need to get used to the prices, because they are NEVER going to go back down without an economic crisis bigger than 08. Your dollar was inflated by some 50% in the last 2.5 years; courtesy of the USD 0-4 Monetary Supply measurement. If you didn't get a 50% raise; then you've lost income value.

  26. Personally, I hold bear-leverage investments; primarily for semi-conductors. I have a feeling that Congress has recently passed the CHIPS Act as a means to force China's hand against Taiwan. The bill is mutual for US companies like Intel and our allies over-seas. This Administration wants a war and I guarantee you they'll get it. What isn't being reported is that China has been frantically filing their national energy and oil companies to be pulled from the NYSE. Most likely so the US has no leverage over their assets should they invade Taiwan. As far as stocks, this market is being ridiculously manipulated right now by the FED and institutions like Blackrock; all the keep a crash from happening before mid-terms. They buy at TOP price with YOUR tax-dollars to maintain the illusion of healthy fortune 500 companies. The same ones that missed all their earnings in the last quarter. It's amazing how much control this Administration has been able to gain itself using simple blackmail and strong-arming tactics against the private sector. We are quite literally witnessing the rise of a fascist regime right here in America. How else do you think the Biden Admin convinced the top 10 financial websites to alter their "recession" definitions in less than 48 hours.

  28. Buckle up; they're about to go up another 20-30% if FED cuts rates.

  29. Too many early retirees from 2020 to 2021. People aged 50 - 60; some 10-15 million of them. People either had an epiphany or they were trying to avoid the drama of Covid lockdowns, and/or vaccinations. These people paid CA$H via 401Ks for homes; that's how people were able to fight for prices with cash down. They are too young to claim SS and are still part of the work force via PT or gig work; that's why they don't show up on the stats. We simply don't have enough young people to replace them. This (retirement crisis) was inevitable; it was only a matter of time. It's the start of something much more economically devastating; plummeting birth rates in most first world nations.

  30. People can blame the government all they want, but tyranny doesn't come from the top down. It comes from the bottom up. The culture is shifting in the United States. Changing your vote at the ballot box isn't going to stop the cultural tsunami coming. It's inevitable; people are the problem.
    3
  31. Unfortunately, I don't think doing voting (any which way) is going to stop what's coming. We are NEVER going to see 2% inflation again; plus the labor markets are stretched thin from retirees and low birth-rates. Government actions during Covid truly messed everything up and pushed us forward ten years.

  32. Not true 'technically speaking' until July 26th when they release GDP Q2.

  33. I'll tell you why people are leaving; it's the same reason that I left. 72 hours, 6 days a week, 8 unpaid vacation days a year, and underpaid for market price. I swear, things like CPM in the trucking industry need to be abolished. Earning 54 cents a mile on that kind of work schedule essentially nets you $17.00 per hour, when the market (hourly/wage) for the same industry is $22-$25/h Lack of regulation, oversight, and corporate policy are what's destroying this country. Thank the trickle-down economic clowns for that one!

  34. How any Governor (Mike DeWine included) can be re-elected after crashing 50%+ of their states small business is beyond idiotic. If you vote for the same person that took everything from you, then you deserve to have the rest taken as well.

  35. The biggest problem is that most Americans are part-time politic-ers that think they get to have a baseless (yet) merited opinion on world events whenever they 'trend'. Almost nobody is aware that the Obama Administration orchestrated most of this conflict. They helped overthrow the sitting Ukrainian Government in 2014. Replaced it with individuals they 'approved of', as well as sold firearms and missiles to Ukraine to fight Russian separatists. NATO has been strategically brewing this conflict, knowing full well that Putin was going to respond with military force. Things are going exactly as planned as far as I can see and NATO will get the war they've been dreaming of. Gotta love Senator Marko Rubio grilled Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland about bio-research labs in Ukraine. To which she confirmed their existence. Though he made a very strange remark, asking that "if there was to be a biological attack in Ukraine, it would no doubt come from the Russians?" To which she replied that :it would be likely and that it's a classic Russian strategy to accuse your enemy of what you plan to do." DING DING DING people, have we learned nothing? Sounds like the US is planning to release a bio-weapon in Ukraine, blame the Russians, and justify the war they've always wanted.

  37. It's disturbing how the White House goes about it's selection of staff. Almost like being a narcissistic, lying, sociopath are requirements on the job posting. What the hell is wrong with these people......

  38. Nobody likes to read bills, but I went through Biden's American Rescue plan. 'Sec. 9512 National Infrastructure Investment Trust Fund. SEC. 5. INCREASE IN TAX ON MOTOR FUELS (a) Gasoline tax - increased from 18.3 cents to 53.3 cents Plus, the Biden Administration has renegotiated a deal with OPEC after it murdered American oil independence. Why is anyone surprised? Just wait, it'll soon be $4.00/gallon, then $5. This man destroyed American energy independence, tripled the gasoline tax, and negotiated a crude oil deal with our enemies? Elections have consequences people and you elected a man that is involved in undoubtedly treasonous behavior.

  39. Too many holes in the boat to fix. This collapse was inevitable, regardless if Trump had been elected or not. We are facing the end times people.

  40. I find it hilarious that they think they're going to find '87,000' people to work for the IRS in the middle of a massive labor shortage lmfao

  41. Nope it's actually seed/vegetable oils. The timeline of sugar consumption doesn't add up to the timeline of the obesity epidemic. Sugar of course has not helped, but it's not the primary source.

  42. People should stop bowing to the religion of "The Fed" and actually do some research. Look at the 0-4 USD money supplies. We are literally looking at 38% inflation in the last 18 months. The Fed calculates inflation like they calculate unemployment. A bunch of fun gadgets and categories to make the number look more appealing. If you actually want to define unemployment by (no capital gains, no 1099, and no w2), then you're looking at 20% unemployment at the very least. Wages have no kept up with inflation for 40 years and the process has just be expedited. Get ready for UBI, it's coming.

  44. Oh please, Biden is innocent; he has no idea what day it is. Now, who is running the country and making the calls for his Administration? That's the real question...

  45. Honest question; what will change? Getting rid of Biden doesn't change ANYTHING regarding American problems. Inflation, the Retirement Crisis, and dropping domestic birthrates will still plague this country and your children.

  46. Doing great actually! Most of my investments are hedged with (bear leverage X3 ETFs). Any market between the S&P 500, Tech, and Semi-conductor contracts that loses 1% returns 3% to me. It's all a matter of paying attention to market trends; anybody that's buying into a BULL market is delusional...

  48.  @gypsyluv1118  He probably means people will start reapplying to law enforcement agencies when more competent people are in charge? Which I don't exactly agree with; law enforcement has been defamed to the length that it would takes decades to recoup TRUST in the system. State Trooper application alone are down 70% since 2 years ago. Many cops are also retiring early, my father included (taking the 25 year pension). You get bigger pension percentages for staying longer and many of these cops are opting out. Nobody wants to be a cop; least of all in any major city like Columbus, Atlanta, Milwaukee, or Chicago. There politicians and media companies have completely undermined their safety AND the trust the Americans had in any PD or law enforcement agency. Columbus PD alone are on hold for any non-emergent calls and the city prosecutor hasn't pursued any cases as of late. We have some 300 unsolved murders in the last 3 years. Lawlessness is rampant in many major cities and it's ruining the living standards and property values of residence, even in suburbs.

  49. Impossible, you can cut 100% of military and discretionary and it would still NOT balance the budget. The problem is mandatory spending. Unless you raise the tax revenue, you must cut something out of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Tribal lands, public transit, etc!

  50.  @rockysahota1  Nonsense... All mortgages that qualify under Fannie Mae guidelines get sold to the Feds. The Feds own 3/4 of the housing market and 92% of all student loans. The banks don't care, because all the risky assets get sold to Uncle Joe. You can thank the Obama Admin for that stunt. You can easily qualify for a VA loan, First time buyer, or otherwise 10% down using another loan. They simply don't care.
