      The worst recession would be called a depression. These headlines man…

      But *how*, guys? How did this happen? I thought we had the hottest country in the world?!?

      Who could have seen this coming? *Eye roll*

      Electing a „businessman“ who hasn’t been successful in anything other than being born into wealth was always going to end this way, especially when he’s surrounded by the ghouls from The Heritage Foundation.

      We are headed for long-standing stagflation. AI is not panning out too well, and its not being adopted by people fast enough to enable growth in the economy and to get us out of an affordability crises. The job market is frozen, and inflation is expected to rise to 5% come mid 2026. That is stagflation, and AI is not the technology frontier we thought it was going to be in terms of spurring economic activity. Hence longstanding stagflation.

      It already is a recession. It HAS been a recession. No one told wall street though. The sales are down but stocks are up!

      Heading??? We’re already there! And the US of Ass is pulling the world down the toilet with them!

      Thank god, I was wonder when I’d finally get a once in a life time event.

      I swear I’ve read this headline every day since COVID. Eventually it’s gonna be right.

      The Republican Party running the country into the ground per usual. They’re TERRIBLE for the economy and virtually do nothing for America and its people.

      Everyone’s been predicting a recession since Covid era, but I think now with the gas crisis and the employment drought it will truly happen. Gas also plunged us further into 2008’s recession, and it’s not hard to see why.

      America cannot function without reasonable gas prices. Transportation is connected to all businesses. As gas prices goes up, cost of freight transportation of goods and services go up. As that cost increases, the freight industry will pass that onto retailers. Retailers will pass the cost onto consumers. Consumers will contract in spending. Agriculture sector is going to hit HARD, so food prices won’t come down anytime soon.

      Corporate operating expenses will go up with more expensive gas, which will continue to fuel layoffs. All I can say is, save your money while you still can

      There’s already a jobs recession with so many able-bodied and skilled people underemployed or unemployed.

      That would bring it to 11 of the last 12 recessions where caused by republicans yet for some reason people still think they are better with the economy.

      Also somehow the right will blame it on Obama, Biden, Hillary, tan suits, suns reflection off a gas cloud on Venus that zombified the populace into creating this economic downturn, anyone/anything but who actually caused it.

    25. lactose_cow on

      america has forgotten how precious food is. bread lines are gonna lose them the midterms.

    26. ConstantKooky3329 on

      You can thank the white supremacists and rogan bros for this shitshow

    28. fingertrapt on

      How many Americans are already homeless? Van living? We’ve been in one since Trump caused global inflation and high gas prices with his OPEC deal in 2020.

    29. RampantJellyfish on

      Almost as if the president is a fucking idiot that has bankrupted multiple businesses and is a rapist pedophile

    30. shoobe01 on

      Heading for?

      Seriously are we not already in a recession and the threat is of going into a depression?

    35. GuerreroUltimo on

      A lot of AI layoffs. More coming soon. I know people, not in the news, that have been let go for AI in the last 6-12 months. On top of some other layoffs. Now, seasonal is picking up some. They just had that economic report. Said jobs were much better than expected.

      What is not said is that a large portion of those people were people returning from a strike. And how the unemployment rate dropped because some feel out. Fell out of unemployment and jobs are harder to find. The uptick in some of those job fields should have been higher. But the fuel prices, overall economy, all that is starting to hit.

      I fully expect this to get bad. But then, I suspect Trump and the Republicans will push for a „stimulus based on those winning tariffs and reduction in waste“. Temporary band-aid to try and get us to 2028. I think they know they will lose and they need it to be bad at that point so the next admin. is blamed.

    37. RustedRelics on

      I think it’ll be depression levels given how broad and deep the predicted impacts. So f*cking completely avoidable Republican disaster. Infuriating.

    40. teheharder on

      If Democrats win the house and Senate in the midterms; next year the headlines will read „how the Democrats caused another depression“

    41. ennuiinmotion on

      Can news agencies stop predicting things that could happen and contextualize all the stuff that’s actually happening, please?

    42. rolfraikou on

      Articles in the near future: „People under 40 keep buying premade beans in cans. Maybe this is why they can’t afford a home.“

      > Roughly 60 percent of Americans cannot cover an unexpected $1,000 expense without borrowing. Not a calamity. A surprise. A busted transmission. A root canal. A single night in an emergency room.

      It’s worth pointing out that the US population is rather uniquely disadvantaged in its ability to weather such events compared to other developed countries:

      * In countries with universal healthcare, the root canal and emergency room visit don’t cost much if any money.
      * In countries with robust public transit and walkability, far fewer people are affected by not having a working car.
      * In countries with stronger labor laws and unions, workers tend to make more money that they can set aside in the event of a calamity/surprise.

      A recession sucks no matter where you live, but a lot of the issues described here are preventable problems.

      Edit: But wait, there’s more! Like in many other developed countries, it’s harder for profitable companies to spontaneously lay off a ton of people. Also, retraining for a new career after a downturn doesn’t involve taking on obscene amounts of student loan debt.

      Is this opinion piece written by Claude. I swear the phrasing is identical and all the — in it makes me think so.

      Just in time for when I’ve finally been able to start investing money for retirement!

      America is headed for a total collapse. The economy is just part of it.

      You’d be lucky if it isn’t a civil war.

    47. IJourden on

      It’s so weird. I’ve been around a long time, and it feels like this thing happens whenever a Republican is in office.

      What a strange coincidence that we’ll never be able to make sense of.
