Thought you would retire and be bored or depressed?

No! You’ll now work until you die.

Concerned about your children getting good jobs after college and moving away?

No! They’ll live in your basement forever.

It’s comical.

Oh, yeah. Sure.

Under Trump the liberal media was trying to tell us how disastrous the economy was or was going to be.

Under Biden, now they’re telling us how a recession is good for us
