Need More Proof the American Economy Is Bad For The Average Citizen?

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Pet shelters are overflowing because Americans can't afford pets anymore. They are also missing appointments to spay and neuter the pets they do have because they just can't afford it anymore. After paying high prices for housing, food, and many other things, animals in shelters are low on the totem pole and are taking the hit.

The Washington Post is what it is. It's wrong on this as so much else.

What will he be tripping over in order to hit the campaign trail hard?

Joe forced in front of the cameras will be an absolute disaster.

A recent poll showed a whopping 61% of Democrats joining the 93% of Republicans and 85% of independents who say the economy is in bad condition. That means Joe Biden can't hide in his basement in 2024, he will have to hit the campaign trail hard.

He won’t have the stamina to appear at more than one very scripted event per day. Meanwhile, Trump will be flying to five rallies spread all across the country: first one at 8 am, last one at 10 pm.

Pets can be prohibitively costly depending on your income.

What a Dog or Cat *Really* Costs

The cost of buying a pet comes with a price — learn what to expect to pay so you’re ready to make the leap. Here is the true cost of owning a dog or cat.

Sure they can. That is why the many poor people who own pets are poor.

LOL. Yet another example of if you don't tow the line with the Borg collective, then you are wrong.

You are very strange.

Humane euthanasia is the way to go, but yeah - Democrats burned the economy down for wealth and power via their CovidScam.

The disastrous introduction of millions of illegals to the picture is just icing on the shitlib Democrat poison cake.

Not sure that it needs to be humane, but having all Democrats euthanized, would solve the country's ills.

The inflation was terrible and affected most Americans. It was shitty. It was bad. It was fucked up.

It was also inevitable, despite what the rubes have been told by the voices they choose to trust. $11 Trillion in stimulus (and we ALL KNOW that we were expected that to be inflationary) + artificially low interest rates + global supply chains collapsing just as demand soared + a Fed that was about a year too late in increasing interest rates to deal with can do that.

Yet another parallel to an earlier time by these people.

It's how their minds work, I guess.

As the pandemic adoption boom cools, pet shelters overflow

U.S. animal shelters will start 2024 the most overcrowded they have been in years, according to a broad survey of animal rescue facilities, a symptom of persistent economic concern as the country's pandemic pet-adoption boom finally cools. There are roughly a quarter-million more pets in animal...

That's not the big picture. Here is the big picture...

Overall Economic Activity

On balance, economic activity slowed since the previous report, with four Districts reporting modest growth, two indicating conditions were flat to slightly down, and six noting slight declines in activity.

Labor Markets

Demand for labor continued to ease, as most Districts reported flat to modest increases in overall employment. The majority of Districts reported that more applicants were available, and several noted that retention improved as well.

Prices

Most Districts expect moderate price increases to continue into next year.

==>I don't think the US economy is that bad. Still okay.

Seems like buyers remorse, not the economy.

Actually, poor people are poorer because they have pets. Pets are a financial liability, not an asset.

Wait, so things that cost money make poor people.. poorer?

Ya don't say.

The stimulus didn't cause the inflation. It's not as if we took a normal economy and pumped $11 trillion into it. It replaced lost revenue and wages. The other factors you mentioned had the real effect on inflation.

The stimulus was well and good and is a smart thing to do, when facing a catastrophic recession. Then, when the recession wanes, we raise taxes and build the coffers back up.

In normal world.

Somebody give this freak some attention. ^^ He is begging for it.

Buying things that you can't afford, or are harmful, makes you poorer.
