By design.
And the 1% are going to ride it out in their purpose-built private enclaves, then buy the world at disaster auction prices and make themslves into feudal lords.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Italian plumbers might disagree
No Italian plumber will save America from itself unless the American people collectively decide to become Italian plumbers.
Private enclaves? Looks like building shaped pinatas full of everything my community needs to survive all stuck behind the decisions of one person.
Be lucky if we get out of this with only a recession. The slogan might as well have been Make America Great Depression Again.
The world will be lucky if America escapes a fascist dictatorship via civil war. If not, it means the fascists have won and the rest of the century is gonna be so much darker than the 3-4c that's already inevitable.
Gee thanks AMERICA
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Maybe when the depression hits and the labor unions force the pendulum to swing back in our favor we can disallow the excess accumulation of wealth and give any rich unwilling to part with their ill gotten gains the death penalty
To beat Capitalism we need to perpetually redistribe all excess wealth
You're on reddit.world, you can't suggest things like dragging the rich and their families out into the streets and beating them, nor suggest things like actively plotting to kill government officials, whom are serving the rich and not the people.
That's tankie nonsense. We should just vote harder.
I just did lol?
If everyone talked like me nobody would ever get punished for it.
Recession if we're lucky. Otherwise depression, with an American administration incompetent to handle it.
only america, the rest of us will be saved by cheap stuff from Vietnam, Cambodia and china
What is coming is the 2nd Depression, not a mere recession.
I don't know when it is hitting, with Trump being fueled by destructive-chaos itself, but the economic-bubble we've been living-in HAS to pop, & when it does, it'll take 3y to bottom-out, & when that happens, Trump is going to use that economic-hardship to finish eradicating the Constitution from the US of A's real law.
the plummet begins sometime this-year, I've been expecting it for months & months..
but which Trum possessing the US it simply can't be delayed much longer..
so the 3y bottom-out of the global economy happens in 2028, when Trump needs it to happen, for his finishing his highjacking of the US.
seems to give the right gist of it..
Essentially, IF you have an economy in-which there are 1M people & 1B dollars, & 1-day's food costs $2,
BUT you then double the amount of money in the economy,
THEN suddenly 1-day's food costs the same fraction of the total-amount-of-money-in-the-economy, but the number-of-dollars changes, because the relative-value of each dollar has been diluted,
so what had cost $2 / day for food, NOW it costs $4 / day for food.
Inflation.
I've read that the total quantitative-easing done during the Biden years amounts to multiplying the amount of US-dollars by 10x.
Which means that each $ should now be worth only 1/10th of what it did at the beginning.
but it has been "held back" by many many many players..
Market-correction has to happen, sooner or later.
All the bogosity in our economy cannot self-sustain perpetually.
Unfortunately, the longer that actuality is fought-off, the greater the hardship when it bites.
So, .. probably famines, for many populations, in poorer areas..
Humankind's choice, obviously..
As was pointed-out in the original Depression:
you can't start any business because there's no credit available.
You can't get credit existing, because there's no businesses being started.
Catch-22.

No shit.
It's already started.
Under MAGAt rule America is nothing but a giant Turd.
Been waiting for it since Covid.
The year of recession
