Only poor people are feeling it and the cash value of what they own is too small to make a difference in the larger picture.

Funny how recessions only exist under capitalism.

Let me introduce you to Venezuela.

Still capitalist.

Gross domestic product is expected to grow 8.3% this year, from 1.9% in 2021, according to a Bloomberg survey of five economists. The country is getting a lift from a rise in oil production and seeing tax revenue and banking credit expand, which suggests domestic demand is rising.

Time to get a new talking point.

I know people from Venezuela.

Their economy was in a castastrophic nosedive for decades, the misery was beyond words.

Yeah, I’ve read it was really horrific. It’s still bad there, but it seems to be getting better.
