   The left has absolutely no answer for this except to fling out the same rhetoric they've been using for a decade and hoping that Christian nationalism somehow transforms into 2010s Obama liberalism

     I don't think it played well on the Zoomer demographic to be told this was the bestest most greatest economy ever and there was no inflation and there are so many jobs we literally can't fill them fast enough, considering anybody who has actually talked to zoomer grads would've known tons of them were putting out hundreds of applications and not even getting so much as a single rejection email.

     @Hoss They told us they were struggling and we pointed at charts and gaslit them into thinking they weren't poor, now we reap the whirlwind. I blame Will Stancil

     I argued with a ton of retards online about the economy over the past year who thought I was an uneducated dolt for making judgements based on my observations of the world instead of relying on the reams of toilet paper that the legions of lying bureaucrats were pushing out. Turns out was fucking right all this time, big shocker. And all those people who were saying I was wrong a year ago are suddenly more than happy to complain about the recession we've been in for years because all the blame can be laid at the feet of le Orange Man now.

     @Hoss @PraxisOfEvil Not sure if you're familiar with ShadowStats, but they've been doing God's work for decades, using older BLS methods (circa 1980/1990) to reveal the true state of the economy.
     
     Worth noting that Larry Fink basically admitted that the current numbers are bullshit in an interview last year

     When you get redpilled on the highly specific and narrow criteria the BLS uses to define "unemployment", you realize the job numbers as they exist now are meant to obfuscate rather than inform. When retards quote BLS figures at me I just wanna fucking shake them by the shoulders while screaming "YOU ARE BEING FUCKING LIED TO THOSE NUMBERS ARE DEMONSTRABLY RIGGED WAKE UP!"

     @DW2 @Hoss They kept pointing to the stock market under Biden but aren't 94% of stocks owned by the 1%?

     I think I could divine more insights about actual economic trends from the patterns in my Saturday morning post-bender diarrhea dumps than you could from whatever is happening on the Wall Street casinos these days.

     @PraxisOfEvil @Hoss from what I can tell through a quick google search, the top 10 percent of households by wealth own 93 percent of stocks, but your point still stands. The stock market permanently disconnected from the real economy after the QE/ZIRP screwjob following the '08 crash

     I have a CS degree but I've been working in a tool shop for two and a half years. My sister graduated last summer and only just now got an offer for a job with starting pay that's only a little better than the crappy job I've been working. People that started their careers when the job market was better haven't been paying attention, and they will remain blissfully ignorant of how fucked the job market really is until the day they get caught up in one of the next waves of layoffs and get a 2008-esque reckoning on the reality of the situation that they absolutely aren't prepared to face.

     @Hoss @DW2 @PraxisOfEvil I've only been in this whirlwind a handful of months but I already feel fully and truly defeated. I'm more then qualified for a lot of the jobs I'm interviewing for, hell I've been called in for interviews twice now and yet I can't seem to score anything. Almost a decade of experience doing maintenance and yet it's worth jack shit.

     > no real economic growth since the Dot Com crash in '01, just rampant asset inflation
     I'm always reading about big corporations snapping up assets, it makes the company's CEO look good - on paper. Great way to pump up an underperforming company, it's like they're turning businesses in mutual funds.

     The last 15 years of growth looks mighty impressive until you compare it against the interest rate over the same period of time.

     @supersid333 @PraxisOfEvil @Hoss I've lost count of how many people I've heard this from. Honestly there's probably been no real economic growth since the Dot Com crash in '01, just rampant asset inflation spurred by money printing

     @DW2 @PraxisOfEvil @Hoss I really am beginning to understand why the current generation just never move out from under their parents these days. I've personally fallen back under that camp myself. There are worse lows to hit, I have savings which buys me the sense of mind, but the whole experience has drained me.

     At some point I imagine there will be such a large glut of younger people who can't afford to move out that the residential leasing market which historically relied on them is going to collapse. This may lead to a domino effect as landlords are foreclosed on and banks are forced to auction off properties that the owners were struggling to fill with tenants.

     @supersid333 @DW2 @PraxisOfEvil @Hoss There's the @MeanwhileInOhio man who can tell everyone what he is going through and what shitshow he has to deal with daily for job hunting purposes.
     
     My 2 cents is that it was never good since the latter half of the 90s

     It's a real nightmare out here. I feel like there are about a million YouTube videos about people trying to find jobs, and the ones I've seen are all accurate compared to my experience.
