The stock market is crashing. The price of food is skyrocketing. I just paid about 40¢ more for gas than what it was pre-inauguration. When I go shopping for work Sunday, it's going to cost over $400-500 to supply the house when just a couple years ago, it's was about $250.
This guy thinks we "might" be in a recession? I'm pretty sure that's rich people speak for "Oh no! This is starting to affect us! That wasn't part of the deal!"
To be fair, 54% of adults in the US have a literacy level below a 6th grade level. 21% are illiterate. So that leaves 25% of the population to be highly literate and actually read and understand this shit.
By sheer majority of numbers, our nation is fucking stupid. Just look at our president...
Kiwi, on average stand 1.5-2 feet tall and weigh around 3-8lbs depending on their size and sex. Roughly about the size of a chicken. This one is average sized.
Clearly you're the catalyst in all of this... Fate has been targeting you and each time you've skated throu..."GUYS! I FOUND HIM! GET THE PITCHFORKS, TORCHES, AND GET THE SACRIFICIAL BONFIRE READY! WE CAN STILL FIX THIS!"
For reference, because I had to check, the drop that lead to the great depression was a 13% loss on Black Monday. Black Tuesday saw a 12% loss. This continued until it lost 89% of it's total value. Today's loss was 5.5%. Certainly a warning sign when you consider that the loss trend lasted from October 28th 1929 to the summer of 1932...
That is until you consider the total lost since inauguration day, which is one third to half the US GDP...
That's pretty much been my decision. I'm looking into my options, even cashing out my retirement and leaving the country, but that's all contingent on what happens. In the meantime, I'm writing letters to get myself heard. If I'm going to lose everything, it won't be quietly.
What they're not telling you is that this is already effecting more than the federal workforce. My company began layoffs this week as our grants are now being cut. Whole departments laid off and client services terminated. If I lose my job, I probably won't be finding another in my field because this is happening nationwide. My entire career is on the line right now, something I've spent the past 20 years building.
Moreover, my clients are getting screwed as well... We're talking people who don't have the ability to work, no income other than social security, and who barely have the insight to understand why. They're either going back to the hospital, until the hospital's funding gets cut, or out on the street.
Partly because these people are sending a message that goes beyond the owner of the car.
At the same time, the owner of the truck is openly showing their support of Musk and Trump by driving it. While I don't condone ruining people's lives, if you're going to openly support fascism, the suffering of our people, the stripping away of our freedoms, the dissolution of our legal system, the raping of our economy, and the destruction of our nation, then perhaps you deserve to feel just a little more than uncomfortable... like the rest of us...
