an exaggeration by pampered millennials/GenZ, but economy is not nearly as good (for those not employed in the public sector) as the pundits claim.

Since I shop for my own groceries, (I’m old school), I’m convinced Joe Pedeaux’s “Government” is lying to us when they say that their “inflation” is so special that it is tanking on its own.

Excellent link ... anyone complaining about prices should refer to it. It puts things in perspective, for good or ill, very nicely.

I’ve been in a not so silent depression since Biden was installed into office

Tik Tokers are stupid.

It’s pushed by algorithms controlled by the CCP.

Some of these uploaders are actually given scripts to read, knowing that those scripted videos will be pushed by the algorithm to get them views.

Like the recent “DINK” videos on TikTok. Notice they all kind of sound exactly the same? It’s because they are all working from the same script.

The purpose of these videos mainly because China is actually going through a recession and heading for a depression. So they need to lie to their population about how it’s the same all over the world, so these videos will be shown in China to “prove” it. Oh, and if it decreases confidence and hurt the US economy, even better.

The Great Depression was a time of deflation. We are living through inflation.

I was in a Tropical Depression all weekend...............

Arrest all these TikTok posters for spreading fake news!

the Great Depression. People jumped out of their windows. . . . You had the ‘Grapes of Wrath’ kind of thing where you had to go in your jalopy across the whole country

The "jumping" was exaggerated. Two people who jumped to their deaths in Manhattan's financial district in the weeks following the 1929 Crash.

The Grapes of Wrath was a movie based upon a novel by John Steinbeck. The cause of the Okie migration was largely due to a drought and the mechanization of the agricultural industry.

Pedeaux Joe last week blamed greedy corporations for inflation................

Indeed. This is more like the Carter years.

These past three plus years are the worst and most dire in the history of our nation. After a stolen election we’re left with a worthless reprobate whose functions are controlled by Barack Obama. Mired in debt, and with few friends and many enemies we are adrift.

What is stupefying is that Congress sits back and, with few exceptions, and acts as a feckless bystander.

AMerica needs Trump NOW! The infested White Hut needs Orkin to clear the rat laden buildings cleared and cleaned.

Americans can’t depend on government agencies for anything! They’re corrupted and infested as well. I do mean ALL agencies.

How many were 'defenestrated' by their customers?..............

Yellen and Biden’s changed the definition for recession but it still exists
