    A lot of people like to play pretend and be arm-chair experts, but in have zero understanding of what’s happening around them. This is what’s called being a cosplayer, or a larper.

    I am simply listening to what the (proven) experts have to say, and their reasoning. They show analysis and historical data and say we are heading for a deep recession - going depression. Yet you, “Donald Musk”, are saying they are wrong because of how you feel. Like I said it’s quite unfortunate.

    Also today is Sunday, there is no market data - but as you’ve seen the market has undergone historic losses these past few days. And if you’ve been listening to anyone with a pulse, people have lost the opportunity to retire because of this. But you, “Donald Musk”, say it is not happening - so I must be “depressed and cringy”.

    You say I am “doom scrolling” - but I am simply see trends, where they are going, and what the experts have to say. I’m saying a lot of bad things, because a lot of bad things are happening - your feelings will not change reality.

    It becomes obvious who is lost the moment they are pressed on the tangibles. So I will ask, what are the prices of eggs near you? Near me it is 24.99 retail and 18.99 sale - up around 12 from Trump’s inauguration. Do you think most Americans can afford this? Do you think Trump has made this situation better or worse? Now tell me, “Donald Musk”, am I “doom scrolling” when I say most Americans will not be able to afford to eat normal food by the end of the year?

    I will reiterate, disinformation will not change reality. Every objective measure of your life will get worse - this is not “doom scrolling”, it’s the data. This is what happens when people who have no idea how to govern or strategize take command - this is the consequences of their actions.

        Yes, don’t look up. Your eyes and ears lie to you. Your egg prices have dropped to 3.99; and if you say otherwise you are a depressed, cringy, 20-something, lemmy user.

        Keep living your lie, hope it works out for you.
