History speaks volumes. Economic crises under GOP leadership, recovery and growth under Democrats.

HE HATH RISEN...

Beef Roasts up 73%
Beef Steaks up 57%
Ground Beef up 52%

Gas up 26%

Utilities up 12%

Healthcare up 7%

#Tariffs + #EpsteinWar + #Inflation = #GreatRecession
It's not only groceries and fuel that are through the roof, healthcare is unaffordable because of Trump and MAGA Republicans cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. The war in Iran that no one wants is costing us billions of dollars daily. Americans want to fund #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar

Help others, look in your community. People are about to start losing everything. Our normal is already gone. Now come the losses, this will be bad. It feels like the Housing Crisis, the Bush policy #GreatRecession so pain is coming. Please find someone to help. #Pets suffered so much! Help someone.

I was 47 when #GreatRecession hit. My field was torpedoed, & bc of med debt in my 20s, I had too little $ to train for another. I had worked for a major US mag. I have BA + MA from Ivies. But there were no jobs for yrs--not even office temp. I've not had FT work since. The US pushed me into poverty.

uhhh...not sure about this. I switched sectors to #medicalschool due to the #GreatRecession, and it took me...8 years of training and a total of 13 years to get myself out of the #studentloan hole.
Not sure a lot of people are gonna do that on a whim.
"The unemployed who have never done construction work start doing construction work?"

This is a thing that happens. People switch sectors when We Are Having An Economy.

The #Centrism / #Neoliberalism of #EgoJoeBiden & #BarackNeobomber & the #DNC gave us business-over-justice AG #EricHolder & 4-years-of-spineless-incompetence #MerrickGarland.

#WallStreet went unpunished for causing the #GreatRecession.

#Trump went unpunished for too many toxic things to count.

Honestly I just feel bad for these kids because they are about to graduate into a fate worse than the #GreatRecession in 4 years 😬 (granted maybe sooner, probably the college juniors and seniors born in 2005-06 I should be concerned about)

This feels awfully like refighting the last war. The recession risks are all policy related. saying a recession wouldn't be bad because of housing is sort of silly when Musk is blithely talking about GreatRecession sized negative fiscal shocks and that's before we deal with trade chaos.

Republican "leadership" gave us the #GreatDepression, the #GreatRecession, and #EconomicInequity of the type that led to the #FrenchRevolution.

Bitcoin was forged in the Fires of the #GreatRecession and will eventually #OccupyWallStreet by making it so they can't print more just because they were being risky. They can't steal value from the money we worked for, to protect themselves from the consequences of their risky behavior
Didn't they also put their reserves into Bitcoin around 2020? This may go some way to explaining the disparity, and is notable given your own ideas in Techno Feudalism. You know the digital realm exists, and that money exists, we can't undo that, so how do we use Bitcoin's qualities against them?

I like to remind people, I only became a #medical #doctor because I graduated into the #GreatRecession in 2008. If the #economy was booming I likely would have never taken that path. And I understand this is not a feasible path for many/most unemployed recent college grads for many reasons
While employment in health care shrank this month, it continues to account for more than all of the jobs created over the past year.

When @barackobama.bsky.social bailed out the auto industry due to The #GreatRecession, #Republicans called him a socialist or a communist. Yet nearly all of the U.S. government loans were repaid.
Three bailouts of farmers due to #Republican tariffs will never be repaid. Thanks to

#US #layoffs in February hit highest mark since #GreatRecession

"The mass layoffs are the result of deliberate #policies, not so-called “market forces.”"

US layoffs in February hit highest mark since Great Recession
US employers announced over 84,000 layoffs, as part of a continuing offensive against jobs to smash the resistance of the working class.

Is double majoring a #public school thing? That being said, I don't think a double major is gonna help in this craptastic job market. I graduated into the #GreatRecession and neither of my majors helped me (friend above also went to #medical school and became a surgeon)
I feel for the youths today

And buying what’s left of the private homes and #farms the rich didn’t gobble up at #firesale prices in the tidal wave of #bankruptcies during the 2008 #GreatRecession.

That #recession was awesome for the rich. This one will be too.

One of my credit unions did great during the #GreatRecession (granted when I was still broke and didn't have any money there, but my parents did) because they NEVER gave out suprime anything. I think they needed a minimum credit score to bank there, and definitely not taking in any crypto

Amid aggressive bank lobbying and PEDO Trump’s deregulatory efforts, one of the core financial products that led to millions of #foreclosures during the #GreatRecession is being quietly readied for a comeback — even as #economic and #climate conditions make its return all the more #destabilizing

Wall Street expects to sell more than $335 billion in asset-backed debt this year. Remember that conference in ‘The Big Short’? It just drew a record 10,000.
