    Eventually, people may actually learn. Starting a trade war (and real war) and voting for hate and ignorance HAS CONSEQUENCES AND IS EXPENSIVE… for all but those that made it happen. It is a damn shame innocent people are stuck sinking on the same ship as those that decided to go full steam ahead into the obvious iceberg everyone else saw coming.

    this didn't start yesterday, you have been supporting this system your entire life. while the "conspiracy theorists" have been warning you over and over and over again for at least 25 years. This is the price humanity pays for being wilfully ignorant.

    Congratulations Americans!!!! You did it to yourselves by worshipping/cheerleading/supporting oligarchs (Musk, Zuckerberg, Gates, Bezos, etc.), Big Boxes (Wal-Mart/Sam's Club Costco, Home Depot, etc.), Big Corporations (Apple, BlackRock, Tesla, GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda, Subaru, etc.) & your corrupt politicians and pastors. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

    I work in a grocery store and shoplifting is so common that we wore out our welcomes with the local police department. Almost every day they had to come and make an arrest or take a report for shoplifting and they got fed up and told us that we cannot call them to report shoplifters anymore. All we can do now is make them leave and try to keep them from coming back.

    Who would ever see the day when non black people would complain so much about being broke when this society was made specifically for them to financially thrive in it. Although I do not wish any financial pain on anyone, I am going to sit this one out and break out the popcorn! 🍿

    Listen to the band Queensryche!
    They spoke the truth about all of this for decades in their lyrics. Now all of the sudden this is something new? I don't think so.

    “Now see, this is what I’m talking about. Just look at that billboard behind you. That Whammy Burger looks hot and fresh. It’s plump. It’s juicy. It’s three inches thick. Now look at this miserable, squashed thing”. I’m guessing all these people know what’s wrong with this picture.

    I said the goverment are doing it on purpose

    It's not just them either, there's a an elite group who live in secret who are directing the whole thing.

    Buy less and less and less and less.

    The government have gone super quiet, there letting it happen on purpose.

    They ain t doing a dam thing, and these are the ones a lot of folk voted in.

    They, ve done a lot of damage since Trump came back into power.

    I ain't buying crap period,

    The modern day highly highly corrupt and extremely lieing government and those degusting creatures called politicians.

    It's time there was a revolution and we go on the march 💪💪💪💪💪💪

    Everything is leveraged. Everything is connected in the stock market. Companies can offset all the cost of doing business due to fraud, theft expenses etc. because they have insurance and most importantly they will get profit from their the stock market.

    At the end of the day these companies just putting food on the table for their employees 😂

    Two words come to mind, Price Gauging. The gas prices, I heard president Trump say something in relation to that. If the gas prices are being Gauged one has to wonder if other things are being Gauged as well,just a thought.

    I believe America's in serious trouble economically, but that guy with the cowboy hat had no idea what he was talking about, just theorizing on the fly.

    Boyfriend started Turo after getting laid off one too many times in the tech field. It's much more feast or famine, but the best decision he ever made. If you have at least two cars, you should try it. It's so much better to work for yourself than rely on these big corporations.

    You think things are bad now just wait till the currency "Reset." Your digits on a screen are going bye bye. If you don't hold it, you don't own it. Banks don't have your paper rectangles in a vault stored away. What's coming is gonna make the great depression look like a picnic.

    Meanwhile, Donald Trump and his immediate family have generated between $4 billion and $9.7 billion in both realized profits and paper wealth since his return to the presidency.
