Are you satisfied with the economy?

Are you satisfied with the economy?

[Skinhead-1979]

Fuck no... trickle down economics (Neoliberalism), don't make me laugh; the wealthy are hoarding at the top, and we at the bottom are being left with scraps.

How is it a good thing that house prices keep rising and people are no longer able to afford to buy a home? Yet it is being used as a measure that the economy is doing well? Well for whom? Not us ordinary people. There's a severe housing shortage in many countries, yet property owners are hoarding properties because no matter whether someone lives in it or not, property values rise anyway so property owners choose to keep properties empty which only exacerbates the house crisis even more.

Here in Europe our much valued public services are eroding... here in the UK crumbling you could even say... how is that a good thing?

Despite us living in some of the most wealthy countries on the planet (e. g. The US, the UK), millions of people are living in poverty, and thousands of people are being forced into homelessness.

The government keeps opening a war against the most vulnerable of society claiming that it has become too expensive to maintain the current benefit system, yet the government has no problem increase the defence budgets so all our tax payers money can be wasted in cesspits like Ukraine and Israel.

And I can keep going on, and on, and on.

My household economy? Yes, despite all the assaults being made on it daily! Of course we now make our own pork sausage, all of our own salads (potato, slaws, pasta, 3-bean, etc.), scratch biscuits and gravy, etc. to help save money.

The state economy? Hardly. Must be why so many entities leaving our state? (ILL- an appropriate abbreviation for the status).

The country's economy? OMG. Do NOT get me started on failed bide-o-nomics. I track all of our expenses. We are now at 51.8% of our expenses being tracked back actually as taxes! Our food is going up at 2-3% - per MONTH - not per year. We own our own home clear- PTL.

Corporate greed is responsible 470% of that inflation per the Fed.

[DrPepper12]

[Apple1996]

I try my best to ignore the current state of our economy

Thank you for the MHO.

[DrPepper12]

Yes!!! Great recovery from pandemic. It's unfortunate about the worldwide inflation but it's a natural law of economics that inflation follows a pandemic. Plus, most of the "inflation" is just corporate greed. My investments are off the charts like 20% annual returns. My home value just passed the $1 million mark. My kids and their friends are having NO PROBLEM finding good paying jobs while in college. Yeah im very happy. Too bad the media has a narrative of doom and gloom.

[HawkPerception]

Not in the slightest. I honestly believe there might be civil war in the west sooner than we think.

[es20490446e]

When something doesn't depend on me, I'm neither satisfied or unsatisfied. Because, simply, it's out of my control.

What I care is about my own economy, and how maximizing value connects with the willingness of others to pay for it.

[animesenpai]

Yeah we are better off then almost all the other industrialized nations. People here are just whiners and don't know how good they have it.. yeah there're are problems but most people don't have a firm understanding of economic cause and effect

[exitseven]

No, it's a total shit show. Inflation had totally crushed the middle class.

[Sevenpointfive]

yeah, i think your anatomy is fine. can i see more?

[RedInnocent69]

Inflation sucks, but overall, it could be a lot worse. It probably helps I don’t have a mortgage to renew.

[legalboxers]

200%

[Jerre]

It doesn’t bother me much being single, but am sure a family of3 or more probably struggle with the high costs.

@Melanie31 Thank you for the Like

My issue is that the government causes my money to have less value.

[impalabill77]

So for so good. Trump destroyed it and Biden is doing his best to bring it back. He's doing good so fat.

[Amur8711]

Satire?

[impalabill77]

Who lost the most jobs during his presidency? Trump. Who had the most job gains since President Clinton? It was Joe Biden. Which President git us into the pandemic? It was Trump. Who brought us out of the pandemic? It was President Biden.

[Amur8711]

Trump did want to shut anything down. The left forced everyone to shut down. So it was the lefts policies that shut everything down. Then you blame it on the man that you hate the most. Then praise the man that can't think for himself that he regained all the jobs back, which you can't count as growth. And also the economy started coming back because everyone got fed up with it. Biden and the left wanted to keep us in that state permanently. The Ukraine War started under Biden, the Isreal Hamas war started under Biden. Gas was $2.50 and under under Trump, it's been $3.00 since Biden. Our dollar is worth %24 less than it did a year ago. We are printing money hand over fist to send to Ukraine devaluing our dollar. Other countries are now moving away from our Dollar as the main currency! All because of the Biden administration. Also don't forget the millions of illegal immigrants and all the people girls raped and murdered because of illegal coming in unchecked.

[Amur8711]

Also if he was doing so well why is he dropping out? And why are the Democrats not letting you decide on who you want to run, instead the worked it out to basically install Harris while still saying they are preserving democracy with out letting you al vote for other candidates.

[Simslover92]

As someone else said, "Fuck no!"

[Astarlessnightsky]
