The economy isnt as bad as people say

used to be, on trash day people would drive around neighborhoods looking for shit they can fix up and sell, or scrap for the metal

I never see that anymore.

I also see lot of people throwing away perfectly fixable things and just buying new


if the economy was actually bad you would see people fixing shit

The economy is make believe based on imaginary rules and will always be exactly as “bad” or “good” from the populations perspective as intended.
