    Credit card debt is at an all time high, more people are living paycheck to paycheck than ever before, Americans rejected Biden explicitly because of his gaslighting about how good the economy was, union membership is up, and nearly all Americans celebrated the death of that CEO.

    People aren’t in a good spot. They don’t have disposable income unless they above median wage. The great depression had better ratios in terms of money spent on essentials.

      This is utter bullshit and you know it. I know several people below median income, one is sending a child to college. They have iPhones, TVs, etc. To claim that these people are only buying the absolute necessities is just lefitst BS.

          Yes, so as I said - they’re spending money on more than just essentials. Jfc 🙄

            They spent money on more than the essentials. Is what you meant. People on average go seven years between tv purchases and 3 years between phone purchases.

            KFC, you need to be poor at one point in your life.

              It’s exactly what I’ve said - more than once.

                No, the tense is different. Reread and try again.

                Maybe ask yourself why I included year between purchase statistics.
