Do you follow what's happening with the global economy... and your country's economy?

Does inflation, interest rates, GDP, the stock market, and economic indicators like the consumer price indicator and jobs reports, really make sense to you?

Or, do you just leave all that stuff up to others and try to survive as best as you can?

Obviously, it wasn't good in roughly 2008-2009. And obviously thanks to Covid and the responses to it inflation has been real high the last couple of years. But I think between 2010-2020 it was pretty good. What do you think?

Trump Jr. Says Biden Did It, Biden Points To Trump Sr.: The Collapse Of Banks Under The Last 4 Administrations

The blame game over who’s responsible for the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, part of SVB Financial Group

kicked off immediately following news that the 19th largest bank in the U. S. had failed.

The situation became worse when on Sunday, Signature Bank

The two collapses mark the second and third largest bank failures in history, next to the collapse of Washington Mutual in 2008.

The Accusation Flinging: Donald Trump Jr. took to Twitter on Sunday to write, “I don’t remember banks collapsing under Trump... but don’t worry guys it’s only a matter of time till Biden/media blames him for that too.” Trump Jr. then went on to blame Biden’s “out of control spending,” which he said caused record inflation and forced the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates.

Trump signs Dodd-Frank rollback

Trump had pledged to “dismantle” Dodd-Frank, a law long targeted by Republicans, and touted the bill he signed as the first step in that process. While the bill will release dozens of banks from stronger Federal Reserve oversight, it falls well short of the president’s vow to repeal and replace Dodd-Frank.

Is It True That 15 Banks Failed During Trump's Presidency?
Those 15 banks failed between the time Trump was inaugurated and when he left office. All of them were smaller than the banks that failed in March 2023. Attributing bank failures solely to whichever political party is in power omits nuances concerning why the banks failed in the first place, and what lessons can be learned to prevent other banks from failing in the future.

Starting in 2023, the Inflation Reduction Act will cap the cost of insulin for Medicare beneficiaries at $35 per month and will include those who use insulin pumps.

I see a lot of young people say they are living paycheck to paycheck because of inflation, but those exact same people are also buying a brand new car with monthly payments and a brand new iPhone/Samsung with monthly payments. I also see these same people eating out at restaurants all the time and constantly going shopping to malls or shopping on Amazon etc. So are young people truly struggling because of inflation or is it because they spend money they don't have on things they don't need?

Right now, there are a lot of guys who are left out of dating/romance. I believe in 2018 it was estimated that 28% of males viewed themselves as sexless under the age of 30. And this was before covid-19 pandemic, inflation and decrease job opportunities were in place.

I believe at present there are slightly more men than women in this world which gives women leverage in who they can be with. However, during World war period, there was a massive shortage of men so much so that women were the ones chasing men. Girls were being taught how to act like wives/girlfriend and were on their best behavior when it comes to dealing with guys. Now for this effect to happen, women had to outnumber men 2:1.

Do you think if we do a reverse china and cut down on the amount of male children in the world that the gender imbalance in dating could be fixed?
