Everything I read is inflation is at 8% or whatever but yet that statement is always followed up by X Y and Z are up 13, 18, and 23 percent? I keep hearing we aren't yet in a recession but the market has been on a downhill slide since January and big index funds are pretty much where they were pre covid. How is 6 straight months of negative returns and wiping out 2 years of gains not a recession?

Look I'm not very smart and I don't understand how all this shit works but none of this makes sense in my little pea brain.

So how bad is it really?

You are not in recession until something like that continues for some number of months. I forget the specifics, but yeah, we are for sure in a recession if we are lucky.. Most likely a depression

both of which are engineered.

this was all avoidable. all we had to do was...not shut down the fucking world and print trillions out of thin air.

As you said, this was all engineered. The shut down, the food shortages, all of it. We are in a recession if the bankers decide to put us in one, if they decide to make a booming economy that's what we'll get. It's already too late to stop the problems that the food supply will see, but they could be mitigated..

In the end, a group of international jackal's did what they do, because the pieces of shit aren't content with being in control of the most powerful society that the world has ever seen, they'd rather be kids of a mud puddle to that lord Baal is pleased with them. (or whatever)
