Re: the Recession, I won't pretend I know. But I really think there's a few economies right now. Some markets are overheated, others aren't. Housing is all but crashing, but eggs and milk are surging, while US gas is down $3. The recession should be easy in general. Though if you're in the wrong industry I think you're ****ed. For politics, Biden keeps getting lucky. The GOP might blow a mid-term in which inflation is spiking, and the POTUS is ancient and unloved. Which says as much about them as it does Biden. I don't see any Republican that can both appeal to the base and the nation. Biden will not be bad enough - at this point in time - for anyone to replace him when they GOP freakshow hits fever pitch. A Qanon nut will do something stupid, or a governor is going to be shown as having done blackface, or a school shooting will happen, they won't be prepared, and they'll sink. Obamacare and Abortion. The GOP wanted action for years and when it came time to speak to it, they failed. The Reagan Revolution is out of ideas. That's the assessment from Sept. 2022. |

I think biden beat Trump because of covid. If we are in the midst of a bad recession I expect a similar fate for biden regardless of the opposition. He ran on not being Trump last time. I don't think that line is going to carry you as far when you are the incumbent and **** is on fire.
The UN just said something about the fed and other monetary institutions are dragging us into a global recession with the rate hikes. Things can get quite bad. |

A recession isn't inherently bad. It does t have to be 10% unemployment. It could be 2%. There's just too much money in the economy right now for prices to stay normal. And it's unbalanced.
I've been laid off before. It sucks. No questions. But I also didn't get unemployment - so long as we don't let anyone starve/get evicted I think 2-4% is reasonable. Mind you, Congress has a lot more tools than the Fed. No idea what the Dems are doing. |

Now he's got the stoner vote. All they need to do is get them out of the house to ... oh. Wait.
