The presstitutes constantly spin. I listen to a radio station where the hourly news comes from ABC and Bloomberg. The bias is very apparent as they downplay good stats and throw in speculative warnings to temper the good news .
I think the press is very negative because heaven forbid they talk about a good economy when a Republican is in office.
And part of the bad vibes is AI… we’re coming into a period of huge changes, we all know it, and many people hate change and expect the worst when it comes to AI and job losses.
Convert some federal land and bring back homesteading. FREE homesite and bring back Montgomery Ward and Sears type houses to order. They were very reasonably priced https://archive.org/details/wardwayhomes.1930/mode/1up
Could weather be a factor? It has been very cold for two months, w freezing temperatures even in FL and TX. I sure find it dispiriting! Come spring the birds will sing, flowers will return, and we will rise joyously.
If the planned tax changes result in excellent refunds, especially SSA, Tips, overtime being "tax free" that and Trump Accounts will help alter the "vibe." Pulte (and other mega builders) and local planning commissions must alter plans for REAL, affordable builds and do it now. Medium sized corps that own apartment and condo blocks should get state tax breaks for 3 years, renewable, to offset cutting rental prices.
1. Incomes are utterly disparate. The hierarchical pyramid is too skewed to the top. More upper middle class people are trying to distinguish themselves from, and build a giant moat around, the middle classes lower than themselves knowing they cannot catch the billionaire class and, perhaps unwittingly, assisting the billionaire monopolies.
2. Prices have not come down enough to pre-Biden/Covid era with corporations hoarding the profits and not passing the incremental savings down to consumer.
Until this changes, the majority of people- huge middle classes- will continue to believe, as they should, that most things are still unaffordable. It doesn’t matter how many stats you cite about ‘lower’ prices and ‘higher’ employment/wages in the last year. They simply are not comparable to where we were.
Every time I see on the street interviews it’s easy to understand. There are a lot of truly ignorant people out there.

I would order one of those houses right now. Really wish that was still an option.

I think it’s because Trump won’t shut up and ICE has sometimes gone too far and also the media likes to harp on all of this.

We’re in a vibecession for two reasons:
1. Incomes are utterly disparate. The hierarchical pyramid is too skewed to the top.
