Remember this next time you get your yearly review/raise. 4.2% is what you need to stay even, anything less is a pay cut.

Many people here make more than they spend, and this is simply inaccurate when that's the case.

edit: I've explained how this works in a reply below.

The Iran conflict will continue on a low flame (occasional pinpricks like now) forever.

It serves the US Energy Dominance Agenda against China, Japan, India and the EU.

The Trump administration does not care about "its" population. There were already rumors early in the Trump term that Trump would not mind a recession so that his real estate cronies could buy cheap foreclosures.

So it is all a double win for the oligarchs. The stock market is still fine, nothing else matters.
