The Economy Seems to be doing pretty bad?
Uh-oh. Times are apparently getting pretty tough for the average American. Experts and studies are reporting record-level inflation. The rich are the only ones who can buy homes. The poor are extra poor. You can’t even get a tank of gas in this country anymore. People stopped driving cars there for a couple weeks. And if they were driving, it was likely because they were rich. I guess American prosperity and wealth is officially over. It was a pretty good run. I mean is it safe to say that we ran this placed called Earth since the 1950s? Back then, we all did the jitterbug, treated women somewhat questionably, and the average American household could buy a house with just one person’s income. Today, no one jitterbugs. We basically gave up on dancing unless it is in a 10 second clip to go viral. That screams poor. Also, women are starting to catch up to men a little bit in the gender pay gap. That has to correlate with inflation. And, don’t get me started with income. I can only buy two houses a year with my income. In the 50s, I could have probably bought a damn community (like Boystown in Chicago or the West Village in New York).
There are a lot of talking heads out there giving their “theories” about why the American economy is struggling. I did my research. Some people are saying it is due to covid and supply chain shocks. Others are claiming its due to that Russian war (read my last article; that shit is over). Some are even suggesting that giving every American multiple stimulus checks, not regulating PPP loans, and printing money at an excessive rate since 2010 led to an inevitable collapse of this nearly perfect economic system. Well, hate to break it to you. But all of that is just the mainstream media trying to fool you so they can continue to do whatever they do that makes them the top dogs in the game. No, none of that stuff is true. I will share the real reason this economy is failing.
After some deep research, it became very clear that the American economy is in the red because people are bored as hell. They sit around all day without any ambition. They saved some money over the last couple years without any clue what they want to do with their money. Instead of spending some money and following some weird hobbies that they would enjoy, they tell themselves, “How about I just save more money? If I have more money, then I can do all of the things that I can do now, but just do them with nicer (but same functionality) objects.” How do you make more money? Couple ways. 1) buy property and then sell the American Dream (you know, living in a nice home and then selling that home 20 years from now for a nice return). 2.) Work in a high demand job with limited supply (if you know anything about Economics, equilibrium is the goal - supply = demand - of course that doesn’t pay returns). 3.) Sell “dope” - drugs, fake entertainment, fake messaging, anything that will convince the naïve that they can live your reality. Well, it turns out buying property doesn’t make you happy, high demand/limited supply careers are only given to a select few, and the dope dealers have their own unique realities (in fact, we all do). Once you realize that all of this is out of your control, I guess you realize that the economy is out of your control too.
Now that everyone is poor and we are on a trajectory towards the end of the American empire, this is a good time to make irrational decisions. I went to the streets to talk to some of the real people who are suffering from this unfair suffocation from the powers that be. I asked them a simple question: now that America is dead, what are your plans for the end of days? Here are a couple of my favorite responses (from the real grass roots Americans)
“Is this really the end of America? What are you talking about? I have been poor my entire life. I am twenty eight. This shit doesn’t feel any difference” - Every bartender that I talked to as I rode my e-bike from brewery to brewery in Fort Collins.
“I guess I will spend my money on some cool stuff, maybe buy that record player I wanted finally.” - Jack Weatherman, sports broadcaster on the local news
“Fuck this stupid country. Leave me the fuck alone.” - Olivia, Black panther member
“Why are you writing this? […] I don’t really understand, but I guess if it is the end of the world, I am going to party tonight” - Courtney, who cares what her job was.
Well, there ya have it. I guess people are accepting the fact that there is no reality anymore. Time to commit crime and write some weird shit. I personally am going to pray for forgiveness during this end of daze. If anyone can save the US economy, it is Jesus H Christ (the H stands for Hedge funds). I am hoping he throws some cash my way. That dude spent, what…. 20 bucks on a wooden cross and casket, died, rose from the dead 3 days later to return the cross and casket, and then went to Heaven to live rent free with his dad? Talk about a penny pincher. He is the all time-market timer. Most rookies buy high and sell low. Jesus sold high and bought low every time.
If you have some money, invest into VOO or SPY. Both accomplish the same thing, track the S&P 500 (middle class stock investing). Down 25% YTD. That price will return itself over 5 years when greed is back in style. Plus, its diversified. Get a little bit of everything. You can also invest into the iBonds. 9.62% return right now if you hold for a year. Pretty ideal. Could reduce if inflation ever settles, but if you get in now. You are good. Either way, it is safe money. Invest in some books. Invest in some good food. Get mind and body right. Ok. If you have any financial questions. Feel free to reach out. I’m rich forever, shoutout Rick Ross.
