It's going to takes years to recover, we're in for a world of pain for a long time now.

The DOW is one thing, that will bounce around, but the jobs numbers should be terrifying to everyone. An economy that produces no jobs for a year is a disaster for anyone who works for a living and we're going to be going through it.

No jobs, no spending

I still believe the devaluation of the dollar is our biggest problem but there’s lots of competition for “ the worst thing “

It's an absolute disaster and a historic collapse in jobs. And it's a slow moving car crash now, there's no way to stop what's coming. We're getting a recession and when people lose their jobs now there will be none to find to start working again.

Honestly, the collapse of job creation over the last 14 months is much more impactful to regular people in the long run than inflation was under Biden. It should be all they're talking about on the news right now, it's the leading indicator to what is now inevitable. But of course the corporate media only wants to fluff Trump.

Biden being so good on jobs is what created real wage growth, it's what created a booming stock market and people seeing their net worth go up, people were actually getting ahead under Biden. That is going now, and working people are in for pain.

Assuming a sufficient amount of ass kissing, Trump will pardon them all on the way out the door.
