No styrofoam in any neighbors recycle cans lately. (I need some to pack a picture.) Dumpster diving will be a past time for many. So much gets thrown out. Good food just thrown away from supermarkets. Not even expired. People are catching on and getting it. |

Memorial day we were still fairly busy close to normal. This 4th of July week is the slowest I have ever seen in my life. Some old timers been here 50 years and they can not believe how slow it was this last week. Usually balls to the wall all week. I myself have never seen stores so empty and roads so empty for a fourth of July weekend. Usually it's traffic jams and bumper to bumper. I drove home at 70mph yesterday same all weekend. It is SHOCKING how fast the brakes have been slammed on. This is scary shit. Quoting: Fred Allen I think there may be something more to this than just the economy and 4th of July. I have been making some observations over the last 3 months of traveling throughout the Midwest. There appears to be a dramatic decrease in the population. I have never seen cities so empty. Even worse than the covid lockdowns. I think Covid killed a lot of the population off. More like the jabs. And made many sick. |

Years ago, they were advertised all over the place but not this time. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34166608 Yes! Was waiting for the sales! My daughter is moving and needed stuff abd there were no sales this year! PA/NJ border, theres a place with a logo of a guy named Sky King. Nice teeth, wears a crown and the whole king outfit and looks like a major fireworks enthusiast. They had a BOGO sale recently but that may be an ongoing promotion |

I don't mean just the last election either. You've been infiltrated and you let it happen. You know this and you still sit there and do nothing about it. You have become a land of sheep, America: |

You people need to look at the other side of "doom and gloom" Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83777703 There is a big difference between business and the economy. The real economy needs to factor in debt. Business is like an individual that looks wealthy but buys on credit. The government spending to bolster business is like a drunken sailor spending in a port saloon. (no offense to drunken sailors) |

It is SHOCKING how fast the brakes have been slammed on. This is scary shit. Quoting: Fred Allen I had the same thought last night when I was working during our town's 4th of July celebration. There was a carnival, parade, fireworks. Usually the town is packed and store is burning through anything that's on the shelf. I looked at our numbers at the end of the night and it was not the same. I've worked this night for 10 years now and seen the numbers. Lowest I'd seen was maybe 2 and a half times larger than a normal day and that was a while ago and when the store had an unpopular owner. This year we did a little better than doubling a normal day. Another signal was ice sales. We've had the same setup for the last few years and despite it almost being 100 degrees we barely needed the extra stockpile. I think the only reason I touched it was because it was easier to carry overall. The one thing that I'm not sure of is how much the whole boycott concept was took up by people. Suppose if things spike tomorrow as people refill their tanks and pantries maybe that'll offset it but it's still something I keep in the back of my mind to try and explain the oddity. Anyway, just figured I'd chime in with my experience from my neck of the plains. |

Quoting: Reality 69087733 Trump's reckless spending is the cause of all of this inflation especially his "covid bucks" crap it takes time for it all to show I think Biden is doing the best he can to mitigate it This is one thing I have to agree with. Instead of Trump doing the right thing to expose the whole pedo operation amongst the elite, he went right in with the covid narrative to sweep it all under the rug even if it meant death and destruction to the US. This was his true colors showing. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 81108026 United States 07/05/2022 04:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If we don't have a Great Reset, then we will have another Great Depression. A reset could be a good thing... if it is managed well. If we reset everyone's debt to zero, would that help? or hurt? It all depends on who is the one helping to manage the reset. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 58363689 Well, if everyone's debt is reset to zero so is their currency. All currency comes from debt. Zero out the debt means zero out the currency. Everyone holding currency goes to zero. Bank accounts, paper cash, stock accounts, etc. ZERO. Only physical assets will still have intrinsic value. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77623851 I work all phases of home construction. Lots of people are moving there. That’s why things are still going strong there. Dunno. I live in central Texas. They are developing a huge tract of land in my neighborhood to build more houses but my next door put house on market and still no buyer after a month so the price went down. The sudden increase in interest rate right before they put the house on market has to hurt a lot because houses prior to that raise were sold pretty fast. There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 54469829 United States 07/05/2022 04:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Usually use self-checkout but because so many lanes were open with almost no people, decided to go to regular checkout. MANY items that had sale tags did not ring up correctly. Was overcharged but did not notice until everything was checked out because I had to bag my own groceries to help the cashier out as they had no baggers available. Will only be using self-checkout from now on because I don't want to get overcharged. Never seen it so bad before. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 83803866 United States 07/05/2022 05:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | People scattered all over the country and some areas are now higher in population than before. Places which were once busy are now quiet, and once quiet places are now overrun. Look at the rural northeast US ... no residential vacancy, all services booked to the max, heavy traffic, long lines at stores, just more people in some areas than ever before. So, these places you are seeing economic slow down are likely the places from which people recently fled. |
