The Only Way To Survive A Recession
Just announced more dates on my 2025 tour! Check out https://joshjohnsoncomedy.com/tour for dates and to sign up for the waitlist to be notified when I’m performing in your city.
Hi Friends,
This week I wanted to share my thoughts on the looming recession that is expected later this year or at least in the next year if volatility remains consistent.
The markets have been dropping and gaining over and over in the last couple weeks leading people to search more than ever “What to do in a recession” “How to protect your money during a recession” and “When is a recession turning into a depression”
While I can’t offer any financial advice I know how communities all over the world keep each other afloat while having none of the wealth, opportunity, or upward mobility people have in the United States.

"Your future is in your neighbor". This is a profound truth.

It's not greed, it's stock holders. They need to show profit every quarter bit that's simply not sustainable

The trash can thing is funny! Growing up one kid stole a bike from the kid who lived back to back with. The kid stole his bike back! It was awesome

When I was in college and super broke, we had stores called Pick N Save or McSomething and I ONLY shopped there for clothes, tights, bras, xmas presents. OK but the lingerie like bras and tights and such were only the weird colors that no one bought at any other place. I sewed my clothes with fabric from the discount place and then put together outfits from bits of everything. My english lit prof was a very conservative little blonde lady who told me she loved to come to class when I was there just to see what I would be wearing. THAT was it! I was no longer a broke ass low brow student but a creative. I never stopped living that way and it has served me well.

I know there is a rest of this, so where is it? What's the name of the video? Is it one of those members only joints? I really hope not.

Well, I raved to my friend about this guy being so funny. Funny. But apparently only his short outtakes are funny because this was just f**** depressing and a bunch of b***** what the f***

35:51 that I do it just so that water drops don't attack my eyes directly. If you have sensitive eyes like me, when water drops fall directly fall into them, it feels like a personal atgack. Assault basically 😂

I have never aspired to be a billionaire. The way the economy is right now, a couple million would be enough to make you comfortable and safe but not change you fundamentally

I live in Mexico. My neighbors are for the most part Hispanic. People have lived here for generations. Recently I fell on the street and couldn't get up. I broke my hip. I was immediately surrounded by my neighbors. About 6 women helped me into a chair and called an ambulance which took me to a hospital. God bless them for their help and kindness.

Make friend with your neighbors. It's worth the initial awkwardness of saying "howdy neighbor" and introducing yourself

I love this man breaking through and talking about humanity and community. ESPECIALLY on a platform where every 2 minutes I have to watch some BS ad about how AI can grow my business.
I'm clicking on those ads. Just to cost them 10 cents. I urge you to do the same. He's right. Let's gooo humanity!
