Things are not well Tower.  I think people here should have taken my warnings seriously.

Dude, I can't take anyone who likes classic rock with a flute seriously.

Muggsy, the discussions about the economy and the coming difficulties in this board date back to the beginning of the pandemic.   Supply chain issues, inflation, recession..... all predicted.

It's gonna get a lot worse than the average Joe believes right now

Bad news.

Muggsy

I am in agreement with you. I believe there is going to be a lot of pain for many Americans in the upcoming months and longer. I completely disagree with Tower in one regard, everything was predicted but no one has felt real pain to date. Our economy has serious structural issues and I believe things will get a lot worse.

We honestly need to deal with reality Uncle R.  We're in an extremely unfortunate situation and must axe the nonsense and living in la-la-land.  Now I know I'm a bit of an alarmist and have paranoia issues but things are not well on the economic front.  It's not an interpretive discussion anymore imo.

Tower, I respect you a lot, and am trying to have a non-political discussion, but inflation has been denied or called transitory by those in change and they've also denied we're in a recession.  So when you say these were "all predicted" when exactly was this "predicted" and why? That's rather relevant to this discussion if people are willing to have a rational discussion.

By people on this this board when COVID started.

Muggsy, there is a war in Russia/Ukraine.  COVID continues to disrupt supply chains.  We have full employment causing upward pressure on wages.   Of course the fed is going to take steps to rein in inflation.

We survived the 70's recession, the 80's recession, the aughts recession.   There will continue to be challenges until external forces are mitigated.   

Now, markets hate uncertainty, old guys hate change, and anxious people can always find something to worry about.    The Chinese curse has come to fruition and we do, indeed, live in interesting times.

inflation was a major problem before Putin invaded Ukraine and the unemployment rate is very misleading because our labor participation and overall production isn't good.    I fear major job cuts in the relative near future.  And of course there are a plethora of foreign policy issues that are worrisome to put it mildly.  I think the world is as dangerous as  it's  been since pre WW2 and we need to get our heads out of our asses frankly.

Yessir.

What would you like the fine folks of Scoop to do about all this ... except for have a political debate that a few already have tried to start?

[MuggsyB]

Yes, yes, we all know you are reactionary.

I can be hyperbolic and reactionary but there are major, major, issues for us right now.  Sadly, we need to deal with some unpleasant facts.
