With oil hitting terminal velocity I cannot count the number of people I know in my age range(lower 30s) that are completely loving boned because they were making ~200k a year at the height of it and their bills totaled $199,999.99.

It really depends how much blood the body of the middle class has left for Wall Street to suck out of it.

Thanks to 40 years of stagnant wages people are increasingly reliant on stock-based retirement packages. Of couse these are the same companies that have kept wages low and routinely fire thousands to appease the quarterly Wall Street gods so basically people can't win. Their retirement is directly at odds with their current employment.

Every administration since 1980 has been GOP or GOP-lite economically. Hell they even managed to get Bill Clinton to be their hatchet man with regards to NAFTA. When they go right, we go slightly less right.

The 1% has been sucking money out of the workforce for 40 years and some guy seriously thinks like 1 year of it happening slightly less is something to cheer lead about. Neoliberalism cannot fail, we can only fail neoliberalism.

No one with any power in healthcare(executives, administrators, physicians) have any desire to lower costs because who do you think is benefitting greatly from the status quo?

Itss almost like US healthcare is more about enriching doctors, hospital groups, insurers and all their various executives and shareholders, rather than actually providing healthcare, let alone affordable(or good) healthcare.

Ultimately, the economic impact of the wall and a trade war is worth it for the GOP. It keeps the base content, gives them someone/something to take their brewing economic rage out against and gives them further excuses for why their lives keep getting worse. When the alternative is your base finally figuring out that it was you all along that killed the American Dream, you'll build the wall.

The 1% hoovering up as much wealth as possible declared economic war on everyone else decades ago and you're basically asking "should we shoot back?" Yeah, we're going to have to shoot back.

I know anecdotes aren't data but I've got a client who is a no-poo poo prepper. Yeah, he hoards guns(mainly ammo) but he also hoards long term storage food, diesel and gold. Like every loving conversation starts with "Hello there XXX thanks for calling me back I was just busy watching the gold futures report". On the bright side he's also a gigantic ham radio nut and I've gotten to see some really amazing five figure+ setups he's done. Its a really fun glimpse into crazy, and he pays very well and on time.
