How is the economy right now?

Your original post was patently false.

You said the stock market "barely" kept up with inflation.

Look when inflation started and compare that to where the rise in the stock market vs inflation is at any point in the last 18bmonths or any time frame you want to pick.

You're the target audience for Trump and Radical Right media.
You are a really smart dude. Have a nice day. Don't forget to save your life with a Covid booster.
 
Sounds great! American economy on the verge of crashing and we’re trying to decide who gets to ‘lead’ us through the dark times; Tweedle Dum(b) or Tweedle Dum(b)er.

In a move reflecting growing concerns over the stability of the American economy, several African and Middle Eastern nations have begunwithdrawing their gold reserves from the United States in recent months. This trend marks a significant shift in global economic dynamics and underscores the increasing skepticism among nations regarding the traditional safe haven status of the US dollar and American financial institutions.

The decision to repatriate gold reserves is not merely symbolic; it reflects a deeper unease among these nations about the trajectory of the American economy. Among the countries taking such actions are Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, Senegal, Cameroon, Algeria, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, each representing crucial regions in Africa and the Middle East. Their actions are prompting questions about the future of the US dollar as the world’s primary reserve currency.

The deteriorating state of the American economy serves as the primary impetus behind these withdrawals. Persistent inflation, mounting debt levels, and concerns about the Federal Reserve’s ability to maintain stable monetary policy have eroded confidence in the US dollar. Additionally, geopolitical tensions and uncertainties surrounding trade relations have further fueled apprehensions among foreign governments.

 
The US is not on the verge of collapsing. Big changes...yes.

We have figured out monetizing debt....yes and will pay with higher prices.

We have figured out how to get masses to follow vax orders and to energize opponents which will lead to more vigorous efforts on both sides. More chaos.

WE have universities pushing multi gender multi-stall restrooms.

We have student athlete compensation and transfer portals.

Iowa population growth is entirely thru immigration, legal and otherwise.

The debate between killing unborn people and the right to choose is more intense now we know what life looks like early on in gestation.

We have 2 demented men running for President who are both abusers and preditors who get away with it. Both are criminals.

The likely VP s are both nutty. But they are women!

We have people here who will suppprt their candidate.

College educations have become a joke. Colleges are closing.

We have no media watch dogs

All this and more.

Collapse is not imminent but the clouds are on the horizon.
