The Recession's Already Here… Open Your Eyes

Education

If the economy looks fine on paper, then why does it feel like everything is quietly falling apart? And that's because the recession isn't coming. It's already here. The data just hasn't caught up yet. In this video, I'll break down: • Why recessions are always declared retroactively • Why record credit card debt and a collapsing savings rate aren't accidents • The shift happening in our economy • How the official numbers are designed to hide what's actually happening 👉Complex topics, simple breakdowns.

Thanks for telling the truth. I like how the US government taught the media to say it's "vibe-cession" because unemployment is low. It's crazy that NPR Planet Money even made a catchy jingle "vibe-cession..." to gaslight us that the economy is actually good.

At this rate, I’ll collect “once-in-a-lifetime” recessions like trophies.

Even though most people fell diffculty about their lives, if the top rich get more money, the GDP will continue to grow and the recession will not come

People don’t realise — by the time a recession is “official,” the damage is already done.

The scariest part isn’t the recession… it’s how invisible it is until it’s too late.

I love how people constantly gripe and tell us the same thing without proposing a solution

Hopefully the movie covering this recession is as good as the Big Short. That one had Ryan Gosling and Christian Bale. Don’t waste this recession by casting Zendaya and Timothee Chalamet or something.

I also feel that a Great Depression is very near and also right around the corner. I’d spending keeps getting worse and paying for necessities becoming harder at some point people will just stop buying things

You can measure how bad a recession is by: -Wait times for Costco gas -Wait times for Costco chicken

3:37 this is because we now have a K-shaped economy; spending is going up, but it’s skewed because middle class/lower class people are spending less and upper class people are spending more

I pity any young person trying to pay for day-to-day life, build a family, save and find the American dream. Your birthright has been sold. We need term limits. Our politicians have sold us out.
