| Anonymous Coward User ID: 76738448 United States07/16/2018 07:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Im just curious, what happened to the 90+ million out of work, crushing debt, paycheck to paycheck, CC defaults, student loan defaults, car defaults, etc. Did some magical unicorn save the day within 18 months, or could it possibly be BS and data massaging? |

Gas going up. Healthcare going up. Bankruptcies going up. More people than ever working two jobs. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76768813 Trade war has begun! Closest allies losing confidence by the day.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 76230257 United States07/16/2018 08:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here is my truth. I work for a large omnichannel retailer. We’ve closed stores that weren’t making money, downsized management, and cut 20% of our workforce in 90% of our brick and mortar locations. Our stock is up 50%, and we are making sales plan. We are looking at big bonuses when this quarter ends in a few weeks.... I must admit that I am not too convinced that any of this is all that great for our country. We don’t sell anything anyone really needs. A lot of debt created for stuff. Shiny, sparkly, fraying or distressed stuff. We call it newness. I call it my dance with the devil. |

I never said they love me, but they do like the money I make for them. I am rewarded accordingly. I have so far avoided the stream lining and managed a promotion after the last round. Honestly, at this point, canning my ass would be probably be the best spiritual gift I was ever handed. I am not a fan of the materialistic, throw away society we live in. The older I get, the sicker it makes me. |

This is exactly what happened before the economic collapse of 2008. Thread: Second-Quarter U.S. GDP Growth Forecast Drops 1% In 2 Weeks |
