The economic climate they’re pointing to is directly tied to the fucking stock market — that rigged game that the vast majority cannot afford to even wager on, much less influence. Those metrics are “ancient and trusted” by the same groups that benefit from insinuating “forecasted” trends of consumers.

Of course, the stock market is up! We’re funding two fucking wars, child. 🤦🏼‍♂️ You know what else is up? Houselessness, housing prices, cost of living, and laborer dissent, and sweeping fucking layoffs.

You wanna swallow whatever half-truth they’re perpetuating, be my guest, but don’t drag anyone else down with you when they instead deserve the chance to DTOR. 🤌🏼
