A lot of people like to play pretend and be arm-chair experts, but in have zero understanding of what's happening around them. This is what's called being a cosplayer, or a larper.
I am simply listening to what the (proven) experts have to say, and their reasoning. They show analysis and historical data and say we are heading for a deep recession - going depression. Yet you, "Donald Musk", are saying they are wrong because of how you feel. Like I said it's quite unfortunate.
Also today is Sunday, there is no market data - but as you've seen the market has undergone historic losses these past few days. And if you've been listening to anyone with a pulse, people have lost the opportunity to retire because of this. But you, "Donald Musk", say it is not happening - so I must be "depressed and cringy".
You say I am "doom scrolling" - but I am simply see trends, where they are going, and what the experts have to say. I'm saying a lot of bad things, because a lot of bad things are happening - your feelings will not change reality.
It becomes obvious who is lost the moment they are pressed on the tangibles. So I will ask, what are the prices of eggs near you? Near me it is 24.99 retail and 18.99 sale - up around 12 from Trump's inauguration. Do you think most Americans can afford this? Do you think Trump has made this situation better or worse? Now tell me, "Donald Musk", am I "doom scrolling" when I say most Americans will not be able to afford to eat normal food by the end of the year?
I will reiterate, disinformation will not change reality. Every objective measure of your life will get worse - this is not "doom scrolling", it's the data. This is what happens when people who have no idea how to govern or strategize take command - this is the consequences of their actions.
Nothing you say is true. How old are you?
Yes, don't look up. Your eyes and ears lie to you. Your egg prices have dropped to 3.99; and if you say otherwise you are a depressed, cringy, 20-something, lemmy user.
Keep living your lie, hope it works out for you.
Thanks! Things are going awesome for me, so thank you.
