Pile of Rocks. Go to a restaurant and see how packed it is, the consumer is still spending

I have that guy on ignore, but I assume he’s crying about the economy and how people are suffering.

Why then did I spend a week trying to book a cruise to the destination of my choice and find out the only cabins available are the cheapo insides without a window?

 

[Mac-7]

Well Piggy, you can't fall out of poverty. But you can fall out of the middle class. So middle class women don't want to "fall" into poverty. If you are already in poverty, screw it right?

There's only one good/fun thing to do when you are young and poor. F

Some women do consider if they can afford kids and if they can't they order mifepristone. Even in states where abortion is illegal women are still getting abortions because they can't afford kids.

And the Supreme Court doesn't give a moments consideration as to if these women can afford to have a 4th, 5th or 6th child.

People can and sometimes do claw their way up from poverty and the welfare trap

The secret formula is education, hard work, obeying the law to avoid a criminal record, and sexual restraint (i.e. avoiding pregnancy)

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

They sure are.

Credit card debt in the U.S. has reached an all-time high of more than \(\$1.28\) trillion, with total balances up 5.5% year-over-year. While policymakers sometimes cite this increased transaction volume as a sign of a resilient economy, Federal Reserve data indicates that much of the surge is driven by households relying on credit to cover inflating costs for everyday essentials.

Where did you copy and paste that from and how is that different than any other time in the past 25 yrs. So long as unemployment remains low the consumer will spend. Could it be that balances are higher because everything costs more. Mine is high too but I pay it off at the end of every month.

Duh

You voted for Harris.

Per the Brookings Institute and it leans left:

Graduate HS
Get a job
Don’t have kids out of wedlock

Do those three things and 98% of the people who do won’t be poor.

A big problem, and I’ve seen it first-hand via my financial literacy tutoring, are 30-year-olds with four kids, the youngest being an infant, and the oldest a 15-year-old, already pregnant. IOW, their children and grandchildren are the same age - and ALL are on welfare.

The 30-year-old has never had a job, and likely never will. And neither will the 15-year-old, who will have another baby by the time she’s 18.

The cycle repeats every 15 years or so. And that is why we have great-grandmothers who are 45 years old, and never worked a day in their lives.

In the meantime, the baby daddies don’t pay a cent.

I love stupid people's personal antidotes as to why they think the economy is just fine. Because cabins were full. LOL.

Piggy forgets that when Biden was president she was a more serious person who could point to facts like "people aren't saving enough for retirement".

Trump used the word affordability 1000 times on the campaign trail but as soon as he got in and charged tariffs, he said affordability is a hoax? Are piggy's like Lisa really that stupid? Yes they are.

Yes piggy I'm crying about Trump's horrible economy when he said he'd do better. And yes, people are suffering Trumpanomics. They/we are surviving not thriving. This is not what we were promised.

Yes tell me some more how well you guys are doing running this country

U.S. consumer sentiment hit an all-time record low of 44.8 in the final May reading by the University of Michigan, dropping beneath the previous record of 49.8 set in April. This marks the lowest point in the survey’s 74-year history (dating back to 1952), falling deeper than the 2008 Great Recession, the COVID-19 pandemic, and previous oil crises

Hafar1014 Correll Papageorgio Harry Dresden

At least I get you all now. You'd rather have a Strong but Wrong leader than one who you perceive as weak and right.

But remember this, Republicans said Obama was a fool and the deal he made with Iran was bad. Of course that's before he said Obama was a weak and ineffective negotiator who would take us to war because he couldn't negotiate.

Right now Iran is demanding $24 billion dollars to open Hormuz. And they INSIST that Trump give them $12 billion up front before they agree because Trump has been known to renig on deals. They don't trust him. Would you?

Point is, Trump's going to give Iran a lot more than $1.7 billion and get the same result. Iran "promising" to never build a weapons grade nuke. Same deal Obama already had before Trump ripped it up.

bobo remember i told you how i watched far lefties like you bring the quality of life down for many in California and the problems they are having now....why the fu-ck would i want to vote for the democrats?........

bobo remember i told you how i watched far lefties like you bring the quality of life down for many in California and the problems they are having now....why the fu-ck would i want to vote for the democrats?........

Because it wasn't lefties like me. You're a low information voter.

"Low-information voters" (LIVs) refers to a segment of the electorate that pays little attention to traditional political news, relying instead on social media, cultural touchstones, or broader emotional appeals to shape their worldview. In the context of Donald Trump, this demographic has served as a crucial and unusually stable foundation of his political support

California’s high cost of living is driven by a severe housing shortage fueled by restrictive zoning, high demand from a booming economy with top-tier salaries, strict environmental regulations, and elevated state taxes and utility costs

Economic Hub and High Wages

• Tech & Industry: The concentration of high-paying tech, biotech, and AI industries drives up competitive bidding for homes.
  • High Desirability: Favorable year-round weather, natural geography, and lifestyle amenities create intense demand, naturally raising the baseline cost of residing in the state.

You know how I can tell you are low information voter? Because I've told you how many times now that Florida is experiencing the same unaffordability problem that California has. In fact, all of America is.

U.S. consumer sentiment hit an all-time record low of 44.8 in the final May reading which dates back to 1952—fell for the third consecutive month. This breaks the previous record low of 49.8 set in April 2026.

Do you still say Trump was the better choice over Kamala/Biden? Ha! Low info voter says what?

Did you see the Housing Market sucks too? Interest rates over 6%? And it's all because of Trump's war in Iran.

I heard a Redumblican say this morning that 5 presidents before Trump should have went to war with Iran, but only Trump had the balls. No dummy. Only Trump was dumb enough.

And the funny thing is, the guy was being screwed by Trumpanomics. He's a shrimp farmer. He has to collect 1000 pounds of shrimp just to break even on gas.

Rising diesel prices are crippling the U.S. shrimping industry. With diesel surging past $5.50 per gallon, fuel routinely accounts for over 50% of a shrimper's operating costs. Because a single boat can burn 20 to 40 gallons an hour, crews must catch three times the usual amount to cover expenses, forcing many to stay docked.

And this idiot like you is swallowing the lie that the last 5 presidents should have waged war with Iran? No they should not have.

Sentiment is low due to the price of fuel and food. Correct yet the consumer keeps spending. Iran needs to be stopped all those presidents said they would and did not.

Consumer sentiment is not the economy. The economy has very strong fundamentals and is growing in spite of the war. When the war ends the economy takes off and you look like an idiot

No I showed you the facts from AI as to what happened to California. Just because your dumb ass blamed liberals and have never woken up doesn't mean it's reality.

Half the people in Michigan vote GOP. I say they are idiots. At least the poor ones are. And you can't argue with me because you don't live here. And I'm telling you that because of Republican policies, the same things that happened to California are happening all over. You don't know because you aren't here to see it. So you think California is special?

And you live in Nevada right?

While the state leaned Democratic in presidential elections from 2008 through 2020, Donald Trump won Nevada in the 2024 presidential election, flipping it red. At the state level, however, Nevada operates as a divided government. Republicans currently hold the governor's office, but Democrats control both chambers of the state legislature and several other key state offices.

Let me guess the Democrats are trying to ruin Nevada now too right? Fu'ing idiot.

CA Is a democrat socialist disaster of corruption and green energy stupidity. People and businesses leaving in droves.
California leads the nation in outbound migration, driven primarily by an ongoing affordability and housing crisis. While the peak relocation rates seen during the pandemic have stabilized, hundreds of thousands of residents continue to leave the state annually for regions with lower living costs.
Public Policy Institute of California +3

Why Californians Are Leaving

• Housing Affordability: The median home price in California remains drastically higher than the national average. Many leavers are middle-income and lower-income families relocating to achieve homeownership. Renters who move report paying roughly 30% less in their new communities.
• Cost of Living: High state income taxes, coupled with elevated gas, grocery, and utility costs, prompt many to seek more budget-friendly states.
  • Remote Work: The widespread adoption of remote work has allowed former Californians to retain their employment while taking advantage of cheaper housing markets in other states.
    
    
    Public Policy Institute of California +7

Where They Are Going

Californians tend to move to neighboring states or states that do not impose a personal income tax. The most popular destinations include:

• Texas
• Arizona
• Nevada
• Florida

Yea but you have this spin on everything. If America's economy sucks, it's not Trump's fault. It's not Republicans fault. If a state isn't doing good, it's not the Republican governor. It's not the rich not paying their fair share. It's not corporations. It's the Democratic mayor in that big city's fault.

You can't lose and it's never Republicans fault.

Someone is getting rich right now and someone is getting screwed. Most Americans say they are getting screwed. Who's getting rich? You and Trump apparently.
