Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

smuglord Actually, if you ignore food, shelter, healthcare, childcare, and a few other unimportant things, the economy is fantastic!

The funny thing is, the capitalists at Moody's and similar are downgrading the US's credit rating based on the economy not being exploitative enough.

"The economy is terrible! Food, shelter, healthcare, childcare, and everything else is way too cheap! You have to get rid of social security, SNAP, and Medicare!"

"Neither party has seriously addressed the rising costs of the Social Security and Medicare programs that represent a significant slice of federal spending"

The IMF should intervene

All this does is make the bonds the US issues require a higher interest to attract buyers, which cascades throughout the market making everything more expensive, and rewarding more people with money to loan to others porky-happy
