Bad economy hasn’t seemed to stop people from going to concerts, restaurants casinos, expensive vacations, athletic contests, getting huge tattoos, $500 bottle of wine, getting streaming services, funding Amazon, going to Disney world, etc..
The people who suffer the most are the infirm elderly, and drug addicts or mentally ill folks and their children.
I have been making the same argument for some time, BUT for the first time, I was bowled over by the prices at the grocery store...they have just SPIKED over the past few days.
Yeah, it has.
I know that is not what fakebook would have you believe but a lot of people are not doing any of those things. Some are not doing them any more and most could never do them.

These people are living on CREDIT and will eventually BE the people using food pantries.
People are so DUMB about their money, it never ceases to amaze me.
That said, my ‘Vice Fund’ is doing nicely. It invests in smokes, booze, casinos and weaponry. Those are always the LAST things people give up in any kind of economic crisis. ;)
