    consumer-led recession

    Yeah, it’s the consumers that are leading the economy, not those underpaying and overcharging said consumers to exist…🙄

      Is that expression literally in the article? I don’t know because I hit a huge consent box when I clicked on it, and i just backed out.

        It’s the title of the article lol

        (I don’t need the rage reading the whole thing would induce, but if it’s in the title, and the sub-header, I assume it’s a key point of the article)

    stimulus fueled shopping spree

    oh yeah, I’ve been living real high on the hog with that $2000 I got 4 years ago. I definitely didn’t all go to rent and groceries, no sir, I buy a new TV every week, that’s right!

    Yeah, I don’t have the money I used to have. I make enough to spend, but I don’t trust that jobs will be there, so I just save for the down time. Gotta keep me warm and happy if you want me to feel comfortable not hoarding cash.

    Ramen was sold out at the ol’ warehouse club store. That is my low-tech economic signal that recession is inbound.

    Also, when buying bulk ramen, the number of ramen packs you get is approximately half of what they used to include, for the same price.
