We are in a recession though, have you seen what the working class is going through for the past three years?

[–] PenguinJuice@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

That's what I'm saying. We've been barely skirting by but it's been doable. Once student loans kick in, that's the spark going from embers to an inferno.

No we're not, and we haven't been. The media and CEOs have been fearmongering about "a recession" for years now and it's never been close to happening.

Unemployment is near record lows. Wages are rising.

What's been killing the working class recently has been inflation, and nothing else. Which sucks, but is getting better.

you talk a lot, so what's your deal?
