the constant bad news has been really great for me like for example when something like the oncoming recession is in front of us i don’t feel fear, or anything at all

When a recession happens my job security goes through the roof so I get it haha but it still feels bad because I still have to buy food and pay rent too.
the only options are "trump somehow was right and we all prosper" in which case i'll gladly admit being wrong
or "all of us get fucked over the same way and i tried to warn you about it" in which case i get to tell people "i told you so" which is an ability i value greatly
Once you desensitize to the horrific impacts of the news the incredible stupidity of it is fucking hilarious. The recession will fucking suck, but man, I cannot wait to point and laugh at every trump voter I know.
Right! We are currently working on a bankruptcy as my partner just lost hours at work thanks to a lost contract. I can't seem to get a job that wants to actually give me hours. And a tornado just went through my town... so yeah.
A glob shuddering trade war is right in front of us isn't it? It's gonna destabilize economies and take a decade to recover from isn't it? Bring it on.
Yesterday there was a storm and tornado where I live and I just opened the window and listened to swing lynn lmoa. I thought well if this is it, I guess that's ok.

moveon sent me stickers and I think constantly texted me possibly about donations idk it's been a while, so they're really in the fight against fascism
rich people are all old and yet still standing, I call cheating because they are still shaping the future when WE are the ones who are supposed to do that
And what a horrible future we are heading, it's actually kinda hopeless now because they're not going away :/
I graduated high school in 2007 only to be met with a recession while I was supposed to be finding a career or going to college. I’m basically numb to this kind of shit now.
Don't mind me, I'm just sitting here eating nachos, sipping SanPellegrino and coffee like there's no tomorrow and watching the world burn and knowing I'm not safe 🙃
A couple of years ago, I would be having fun with friends - against a background of generalised sadness - and have to step outside for a bit to cry about Gaza.
Now, I hear about a global market crash or the potential collapse of the USA and I smile, and my heart beats a bit faster in excitement.
Right, it’s already a dogshit environment to be job hunting, in part because of anticipatory fears of this exact thing. Recessions come on slowly, then all at once.
I'm too personally impacted by all this shit to feel anything but constant despair
I rely on all of the like 3 safety nets to survive and every day feels like counting down the clock to not being able to survive. It's very cool, I love it
I spend time riding around my neighbourhood on my unicycle checking in with familiar faces pretty much every day and that freqently makes up for the threat of violence or total social destabilization. I live in Canada and have a job though so I'm recognizing my privilege here
Recession good actually. Treatler theory states that with their current production capabilities in the rate of Hitler they cannot possibly stay afloat politically with a massive negative delta in the rate of Treats

but hey at least they can be content in the knowledge Schumer preserved the filibuster throughout Biden's presidency 🫠

I don’t think Hawaii and Puerto Rico are gonna be able to prop up the country’s entire coffee habit though

Fuck it, y'know? If this is how it's gonna be then I'll play ball I guess, no need to cry and whine.
Otherwise hanging in there. Glad you are too
