This. ^^^^^Hard to say. BLS just backcasted their one year job report numbers down by nearly a million. That's kind of a big oopsee. A million less jobs than previously reported.
Every signal I see says consumer wallets are tapped out. Both anecdotally and hard data. Every online store I support is showing year-over-year sales declines, hovering around 20% YTD. Doesn't matter if it's ammo, cooking utensils or CBD.
I think the media is so in the bag for the Dems, they are now creating whatever version of "reality" they feel like via addled reporting, with no allegiance to objective reality.
But numbers don't lie, nor do layoffs or missing paychecks.
We'll see.
