wrong- the cooked numbers are giving the illusion that the economy is holding up
>unemployment: numbers (aside from being wholly false/inaccurate and understated) don't include people who have been unemployed longer than 100 days as they are presumed to be "out of the workforce"
>core vs transitory inflation: just blatantly cooked
>job creation/available jobs: employers and especially employment agencies post jobs that never get filled, with fake salaries
there are doubtless many other ways the books are being cooked but these are a few. it all depends on the lie that the economy "remains strong" and ultimately the only thing keeping our charade going is the willingness of our leaders to keep telling the lie with a straight face.

White supremacists never do shit for poor/middle class white people. They use race to distract from the class war.

The funniest thing about suburban socialists and their incoherent "it's all about class!" ideology is that identitarian tension inevitably makes class solidarity impossible, and that this is as iron-clad as gravity. This is what makes diversity is our strength such a meme. The elite mean that it's THEIR strength, not ours.
I'd love to see him try and keep it real with the niggas though and teach them about "class solidarity."
These people actually believe labor and consumer choice are substantive enough to form a meaningful sense of group identity, even though no one feels attached to their job anymore and consumerism is inherently shallow.

Land was cheap and plentiful back then. Not to mention the fact that land was give out for FREE in the Homestead Act of 1862, almost all of which went to whites. As a poor man, under the federal and state constitutions, you were guaranteed the same property rights as any rich man, a concept virtually unheard of in England or any other nation at the time.

They literally changed the definition of a recession so that we wouldn't be in one. Same thing how they changed the definition of a depression in 2008 so we wouldn't be in one then too, then used the softer word 'recession' to cover their asses.

that's a lot of words to explain why poor people are too dumb to see that the solution to getting fucked by the 1% is getting together
>identitarian tension inevitably makes class solidarity impossible
you say this as if it were a law of nature and not a divide and conquer tactic deployed by the owning class because of the threat a coalition poses to their hegemony.

luckily, "we are the 99%" is a meme strong enough to overcome all the rich man's fuckery in the world which is why they martyred its author David Graeber

i work with prostitutes and drug dealers for my job in community health. i knew the recession had hit earlier this summer when one client told me that their customer base had shrunk by half bc "nobody has any money any more!"
so for the next two weeks when i was meeting clients i'd ask them how business was going and they all said the same thing- profits were way down.
the hooker-and-plug index is probably a great leading indicator of market conditions

the other day in the interest rate announcement press conference JPow snapped at a journalist for saying that a soft landing was a sure thing and that everything is extremely vulnerable to systemic instability. that's when i knew it's probably way worse than they're telling us even with all the talk of a "narrow runway" and all that

You can steal the election, try and lock up your opponents and keep changing the definition of recession and so on, import millions of shitskins and amerimutts will keep eating the shit you feed them.
