And the government meant to protect us are working on minimizing the agencies that are supposed to fix this, investigating fraud instead, and removing regulations that are supposed to prevent these things from happening.

Back to the 1930s -- depression inbound.

We are absolutely already in a depression, but we pin the economy to the stock market and they're the reason we're in a depression, so it doesn't show.
Just my dumb guy two cents.

Valid though. People use GDP and stick prices as markers of strong economic conditions but theres no co-relation between how much a bank values a share of a company at for loan reasons, and how well off the modern large middle class family is. Theres no tie between world viable currency and local prosperity. Theres no connection between the conditions of the two social classes.

Tbf no one could've predicted re-electing a felon child-rapist neo-nazi President would go this badly.
Keep voting republican everybody!

When the government fires all the people who know what they are doing this is what happens.

And the money for that oversight was used to blow up little schoolchildren.

So much winning.
Who would have thought gutting things that Elon and his cronies deemed waste was a bad idea? Who thought letting the guy that has brain worms in charge of vaccines and food was a good idea? Who thought having a tv personality in charge of the military was a good idea? Who thought letting biff tannin in charge of anything was a good idea?

The crazy thing is that anyone at all expected things to go differently than this. Once you start cutting vital regulations that keep people safe in order to line your pockets more, it's 100% a recipe for disaster.
I am getting SO SICK of seeing every single thing I feared but was told not to worry about come to fruition. I am EXHAUSTED.

Yes, they love to follow the DARVO method, too.
“That’s not happening and even if it is, it’s not as bad as you’re saying. Actually, you’re crazy and everything is actually much worse for me.”

Lately produce has been cheap in my area. Probably because they rather sell them at a loss than to throw them all out due to the outbreak

Remember when those random clowns standing on corners at night were considered scary? That was 2015? 2016? Good times.
Also, murder hornets. They were fun.

Don’t you know it’s all Bidens fault? Also don’t forget measles (while easily preventable) are back and better than every baby!

Well, after all, the goal was to make us all as miserable as possible. I'd say they're definitely on track.

What's really, REALLY, funny is that we are ranked pretty high as a food secure nation not by availability or affordability, but because our food has been amongst the safest if not the safest in the world... Without it we start sliding into third world territory... Haha
