A Question About Main Street's Economy

Anyone else seeing the plants/factories, stores, restaurants that are closing or planning on closing?

Every day, scrolling across my home page I see them. I mean the shit has got to hit the fan sooner or later.

Not to mention that cuts to Medicaid and SNAP are coming. What will it take for a significant number of unwashed Magats to realize that Krasnov is for the rich, that Krasnov is fucking them and giving their money away to the rich.

Remember the book that Picketty wrote about income inequality, it's way worse now. The problem is that Wall Street loves the job cuts, loves depopulation, also referred to as murder.

Then there's our 38 trillion dollar debt, 120% of debt to GDP. Our government has to borrow money to pay for the interest on our current debt and that situation will only get worse and worse. Krasnov and his billionaire friends can only rig the numbers for so long. I can't believe that our GDP numbers are much higher than zero.
