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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

Think the housing pricing will crash this time?

Not as long as funds like blackrock keep gobbling it up.

markets are conflating recession with stagflation

It’s only a recession if it comes from the recession region of France, what we’re seeing here is just sparkling stagflation

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

There are qualitative differences because definitionally a feature of a recession is deflation due to a drop in demand. Stagflation is a "not enough people have run out of savings and available credit yet" recession.

lets just keep expanding credit then, problem solved.

Gonna start referring to deer growing as “stagflation”

So glad to have an economy that crashes every ten years, definitely The Best System We've Got.

It’s only been five years this time, but at least Covid had the perk of increased labor need afterwards, I got a $3/hr raise twice within a year by job hopping until I found something I liked.

top economists say that less jobs = bad economy

wow these guys are freakin geniuses omg thats crazzy bro thank goodness we have these idiot tea leaf readers

[–] shane@feddit.nl 1 points 1 day ago

Well, in principle there can be full employment that is terrible for the economy. Imagine everyone working at Walmart, but not actually earning enough to buy enough food to survive.

But in general you're right, people not having jobs is shit.

Another day another recession we will never truly recover from.

I dunno guys, I don’t think porky can be trusted to run an economy. Maybe have actual economists control the levers?

Give control to the math nerds? Sounds lame as fuck. /s
