"Joe Biden is, at the moment, losing his reelection campaign. And he is doing so while presiding over the strongest economy the United States has ever experienced," @AnnieLowrey writes:
It’s the cost of everything. But it’s especially noticeable in food prices for me. Eating out, ordering takeout, groceries, bars. I had some people over this weekend and went to Costco. I got food and seltzers and stocked on things for me. It was $350. And I fed people ribs, chicken and sausage. We weren’t eating steak. I definitely got too much. But that is still ridiculous.
The job market is terrible, I’m holding on to my job as best I can, they just announced furloughs. I’ve applied to probably 30 jobs and haven’t received any interest.
I’m not American so I’m not aware of the context. How does the economy feel right now to be there?
Terrible lol
But how does the terrible economy make itself known in everyday life? Is it rising grocery prices? Anything else?
