    Fucking do it already. We’ve been hearing “impending recession” for the last decade.

      Oh it’s here, but the economists most news agencies talk to only look at rich people metrics like stock prices and meaningless poor people metrics like unemplyment %.

        We are the canary in the coal mine and they’re determined to mine everything of value while we die and before they have to leave.

        Except Real Wages, incidence of home ownership, full-time employment, and GDP per capita are all up. This all while inflation continues to drop and has never risen anywhere near the levels seen abroad.

        Yeah all that sounds like a recession to me, too.

          “We’re getting pissed on less than those abroad!”

          OK, you keep ignoring how you’re still getting pissed on, then.
