1. What? You don't like recession level job numbers, inflation

and unaffordable healthcare costs? I guess you're not true MAGA because they've found a way to love all that. Worst job numbers since 2009, people. Is that what you voted for?

2. Not to mention he is taking the side of the wealthy in the housing affordability crisis.

What's not to love about that?

3. An economist on the news this morning

said they are worried about not just a run on banks, but a run on insurance.

I had it on as background noise while I was getting ready for work, but He was discussing how small banks cannot survive, who wants to keep their money in a bank with such low interest rates and he mentioned the Metropolitan Capital Bank which failed last week. He then started discussing how he predicts that insurance companies are not foundationally solid.

4. We All Know Pain Is Coming

Dow is up 56% since 2020. Any of you doing 56% better? Any normal Joe's out there were making $100k in 2020, and now pulling in $150k? Did you get your yearly 10% bump last fall from work? Me either. Something will break eventually. We're judging the health of our country by how well our nobility play.
