Despite robust gross domestic product growth in the second quarter and early signs of an especially impressive corporate earnings season, there are concerns that the majority of Americans are missing out on the benefits of any economic expansion that may be occurring. Surveys charting consumer confidence continue to register declines, revealing widespread pessimism among households about their financial outlook and the economy as a whole.
Are we finally going to see an end to the "A rising tide lifts all boats" narrative? I was calling it bullshit twenty years ago but it seems most people still haven't got it. Maybe a solid wave of bankruptcies will get through to people.

are you asking if the general public is going to learn a lesson from this? because i'd ask if they learned from the last i dont know, 10 recessions.

the answer is fuck no, as long as there's shitheel politicians and lobbying groups/bias news groups that fund them willing to spin the narrative you are not going to see anything learned from this.

I see more people buying lottery/alcohol/tobacco, less food, and everyone is quick to blow up over a few cents. Now every other customer tries to pay entirely in pennies.

We should have a special prison for leaders/lawmakers who allow things to get this serious. Especially when they did it on purpose.
