After reading this news story that half of Americans are skipping meals because of affordability and a bad economy, I have to ask how are you all doing out there?
I heard from a real estate agent friend of mine that REOs, i.e. bank foreclosures on home mortgages, are going up like crazy, which is a sign of bad times, like the recession of 2007-08.
I have heard from others about rents not being paid, lack of jobs, etc.
Every day, there’s more news of corporate layoffs, moreso than usual.
I live in the economic bubble of the SF Bay Area, where tech wealth more-or-less insulates me and mine from the most serious consequences of a bad economy, but how are things elsewhere?
Honestly sounds dope. Be safe out there though
The dopest part is when it’s so nice out you don’t have to wear clothes, everyone wants to come visit, and both freedom and fine dining surround you in unlimited quantities. The least dope is when you’re drying firewood next to a fire, out of everything but rice and jerky, and hauling water all alone cause you can’t get $20 together to fix your pump. Definitely not safe, but definitely real and apparently that’s what matters to me. Probably going to go be more traditionally homeless somewhere warmer this winter and get some $ together
