All the inflation talk, all the unemployment noise... what if it's overstated?

maneco64, JBravo, Peter Schiff, Gregory Mannarino, the Independent Economist... all these guys make a living off of fear, whether through YT clicks, selling boomer rocks or whatever.

Is it possible that it's not that bad? That I kinda got hoodwinked by an Internet meme?

What if the vaccine works, everyone goes back to work, the Fed pulls a few tricks and the show goes on for decades and decades into the future?

even setting inflation and recession fears aside, the average american has half as much wealth and purchasing power as they did half a century ago and most of them are slowly slipping out of the middle class into permanent wagegroid serfdom. They can't afford buying a house, can't afford saving any money, can't afford children, can't afford to get sick, and need three side hustles just to pay the bills each month. Most are deep in undischargeable debt because media crammed the higher education meme down their throat. And their real cost of living continues to rise 5-10% annually (use shadowstats or chapwood for this, not BLS' manipulated CPI figure), with no commensurate wage increase.

It was ALREADY horrible before corona and the money printers. Those could both go away again and we'd still be back at horrible, and getting worse daily.
