Does anyone feel like we’re having an impending recession or possibly even a depression soon? Welcome to the Trump economy.

No. It feels like things are getting better and that we are heading in the right direction.

Not at all. Things are headed in the right direction. Stock market is at an all time high and unemployment is going down.

According to job reports from BLS, stock market, and consumer trend reports.. we are definitely in a much better economy than the previous administration. Facts don’t care about feelings

Most people on here are insulated from the impact of rampant inflation that has not gone away. Even if it’s slowed, prices haven’t dropped, and as a result credit card debt is at an all time high, which will hit a breaking point. The US financial position is weak, the yield curves been inverted for a while now, and the interest rate th market requires of us will soon be unsustainable (not to mention continue to make home ownership unattainable for many as the 10yr guides mortgage more than fed rates) and rent at least in my city has become unaffordable for most

We’re at the tail end of a cycle bigger than one president. Trump is somewhat involved in this but Biden was to blame too… really it goes back to the extraordinary actions taken post 2008, when this “K-shaped economy” took hold with unlimited free money for the banks and markets and upper class that never translated to real wage growth

The problem you’ll find here is that we’re all on the upper arm of the K, and things seem fine up here. It’s the 90% that are suffering that most fisbowlers decline to speak to

Does anyone else feels like the job market today is like the 2013 Real Estate Market? It is a buyer’s market. It’s saturated with jobs, but no one wants to work. And recruits are not taking advantage of the ones who want to work.

The cycle repeats. #thirstythursdays

Child care when traveling for work should be expensable… also dog boarding… I cannot get over how things like first class seats and any meals for higher ups, dry cleaning, ubers/lyfts over cheaper options, etc. all are expensable but essential costs you need to foot when traveling like child care and dog boarding are not expensable. I wish we had a per diem like allotment rather than actual costs so we could use money left over if we choose cheaper options so we could use the money we save

Question for anyone who might know - it appears to me Rasmussen releases a poll every week day or close to that, but day to day their margins swing three percent or more, which I think is outside the margin of error (can’t speak for every single poll). How is that kind of change possible from day to day?
