Yeah Yeah – people have said this 1000 times before and it didnt happen. Well it will happen eventually and there is strong evidence that it will happen in 2024. So this is a “told ya so” thread for all the people babbling about a “soft landing” and “economy is stronk!”

​

1. Your supposed “facts” are wrong. If you seriously think that the government is not cooking the books, you are delusional. They are lying about everything to apear in a better light, including crime statistics: [https://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/29/nyregion/new-york-police-department-manipulates-crime-reports-study-finds.html](https://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/29/nyregion/new-york-police-department-manipulates-crime-reports-study-finds.html) \- so they sure as hell are lying about economic stats and numbers.
2. Inflation was much higher during the 2021-2023 period than the official numbers claim because they changed the calculation like 5x since the 1980s. If we use the original 1980s metric then the CPI during the last 3-4 years experienced a 20 – 25% increase. The most important things like groceries, rent and house prices have increased by 30-40% or outright doubled.
3. US debt stands at 34 Trillion and is expected to rise to 50 Trillion by 2030. The current yearly interest rate payments alone are over 1 Trillion by 2030 they could be over 2 Trillion. This is not sustainable.
4. The American people are living and surviving on borrowed money. Credit card debt has surpassed the 1 Trillion mark. Around 2/3 of the population are living paycheck to paycheck.
5. We have the most homeless ever, the most working homeless and poor ever, the most people struggling to survive ever, the most people unable to afford necessities. The highest number of young people still living at home because they cannot afford a house. The lowest birth rate ever because people cannot afford to get children. These are the facts, this is the reality for 80% of all Americans.
6. If 80% of the population is struggling, then the economy is not well. You can shove misleading statistics like the 3 most bought cars in the US are really expensive (with just like 5 Million units sold for a population of 330 Million) up your rectum. Of course the top 20% will buy like crazy since they have the money. But when 80% of the population is reduced to buying just the necessities, when private and government debt is the highest on record, something will break soon.
7. Oh and please shut up about unemployment and the supposed “hot” job market. Companies are laying of thousands of people since months. People applying cannot get a job for dear life and the labor participation rate stands at just 62% compared to 67% in 2000 and 63% in 2019 before Covid. Oh and out of the supposed 10 Million open Jobs probably half are fake postings and 90% of the other half low income jobs where people need two – three in order to survive.

What a great economy! 80% of people struggle but the stonks market is at record high – soft landing – no recession huray! Just dont cry when your bubble pops and reality hits you. The same reality already experienced by 250 Million + Americans.

  3. Thank you. I mean really. I am sooo tired of the media, the bots, the politicians and their flying monkeys telling me how wonderful everything is, and absolutely no one I know of is living that fantasy life. Do they really think they can brain wash us into believing this?

  4. Well if you keep spamming the thread, someone might believe you eventually I guess.

  5. 1. If you think the gov has not been cooking the books for decades you are an idiot.
    2. Is kinda already baked into 1, but the fact that inflation increased is not really disputed.
    3. You claim this is unsustainable and yet fail to elaborate why, to be clear the US is not struggling to find lenders.
    4. The US has frequently been living on credit. We have a debt driven economy. The abnormal low savings have been that way since 1990’s.
    5. We have the most homeless ever, are you certain what evidence do you have to back this claim. Have you compared to the great depression?
    6. Define struggling, compared to what. Are you afraid of being drafted, lead paint in your tap water? if you are trying to complain 80% of the US is living paycheck to paycheck I would like to see evidence.
    7. Uh shut up about actual facts and numbers so you can have your feelings validated?

    Look I agree problems exist we have record and I do mean record wealth inequality the fat cats have not been this big since the robber barons. That said when that problem gets actually serious I think people will stop voting about flag burning and who takes a dump in which bathroom. And start getting serious about taxation.

    But anyone who thinks the US economy is screwed is kind of an idiot we have the deck stacked in our favor pretty hard.

    1) top of supply chain 2) energy independant 3) energy surplus 4) the reserve currency 5) a military so over the top its only rival are other branches.

    If you are worried about the economy dont its gonna be wonky until millenials fill the giant gap left by boomers in high added value positions which is already starting, we will probably be back to the boom times by 2030. Really my biggest concern is the amount of shockingly stupid people allowed in congress. I am going to fix the debt by defaulting and killing our credit rating actual position of half the republican party right now 🙂
