    A depression is guaranteed, its been in the cards for years... the domino effect started last year in sept.
    Its just a matter of time before it all catches up. Best to prepare... this will get very ugly

    Both my brother and sister in law permanently lost their jobs today after 35 years with the same company .

    They've Been laid off because of the covid up in Michigan. Their company made large perfororated tubes for the oil drilling industry.

    I saw it coming 3 months ago when this all went down with covid and the oil industry going in the dumper.

    A lot of people going to be hurtin soon I'm afraid .

    Government will be broke soon so they can’t give anymore handouts.

    No worries for you. Just move to Miami or north LA and perform in movies.

    Last one fewer people were unemployed from what I’ve read it hasn’t been this bad since the Great Depression.

    Absolutely, sort of like liquor store. Thrive when things are happy, thrive when things are bad. Recession proof.

    People were living along the highway in the last one. Tent cities were everywhere.

    Haven't heard of any city this time. Yet.
