 Key topics:

✔️ ICYMI news, 7/10-7/14.
✔️The big banks made money off of debt and interest rate hikes? Wowee, what a surprise. 😒
✔️Inflation is still going up but supposedly it's going up less high, so, like, people'r'doin' great.
✔️The cracks in the job market are becoming too big for the MSM to ignore completely. So if you're still burying your head in the sand, IMO, you are way behind the eight ball on this.

As I've said many, many times: IMO, if you wait to be "officially" told, you're waiting too late. The cracks in the foundation that have been obvious to some of us are only just now being reported on in MSM sources.

I recently read Arlie Russell Hochschild's book Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right. Hochschild was one of the commentators in the Essential documentary and I was curious about her book. One of the things she discusses is the idea of someone jumping the line - while people are waiting on the American Dream that gets more distant, they look for someone to blame.
