Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia

I got the impression that around August of 2015 it started to look like a crash in China was not only likely but also imminent, and I remember that it sundered stock markets globally including in the USA. In that sort of panicked environment I can see people becoming more cautious, investing less, etc, until China either bottoms out or is severed. I also understand that corporate profits are low because a ton of idiots invested in China.

What other indicators are showing that the US economy is being dragged down by domestic factors? I heard that the US economy is basically the only major economy that's doing okay right now.

What the hell happened? Never seen anything like it.

The guess is that the upstream provider for XE was sending incorrect data.
