Welcome to recession.

Yes, because we gave lockdown a real go, didn't we?


Also, we're not IN a fucking recession. Every economic authority says so. An infinitesimal drop in GDP (less than 1/8th the growth in Q4 of last year) does not a recession make.

I think the US economy is talking itself into a recession.

Four Fed rate hikes in a year is more than just the nation convincing itself it's going to happen.

Bit hard to tell when recession is when even in boom times the average person struggles on a daily basis to survive.

That’s to deal with inflation. The inflation caused by Biden unleashing a pandemic and invading Ukraine.

This is classic right-wing rhetoric - we did things their way and then the shit happened that we warned them about and they say, "Well, if you had done it our way, we wouldn't be here."

Lots of inflation is the equivalent of a recession for most people.

Wait, so Biden also invaded Ukraine? Are we working with the Russians now? Because I always knew Biden was a commie. Is it time to rise up and take back America?

It's sad that I don't know whether this is an irony post.  I have to consider their previous posts.

I don't like to judge an argument based on the person.  But when it is gibberish, relying entirely on memes, I sort of have to consider the character of the poster.

Yeah, the sort of person who'd unironically say something in that vein has probably figured out by now that Russia's government is much closer to fascist than communist, and in fact that's outright the appeal for the right wing in the US.

The first post of that post was an observation and the second part was irony.

Whatever you think of my previous posts, please don't take any as a personal attack, they are not intended as such.

Sorry for getting personal about it, I was drinking with a friend that night and got out of hand.  (Also got food poisoning, apparently?)  So yeah I'm sorry.
