    1. @A D nope…a recession is two quarters of decline…..we are probably starting one….but it isn’t officially a recession until then.

    2. It’s beginning. The recession was inevitable thanks to Mcstupid- in- chief. The virus was just the catalyst.

    3. @P.F.H. where is you data on that? And calling stupid people names….doesn’t mean your smart.

    1. @Smileyone Bush was prezzident of Murica until January 2009, you dumb, in-bred MAGA Maggot. You and your orange Führer would be truly dangerous if you had a functioning brain cell between you.

    2. @Ben Berzai USA is a under developed country AKA 3RD World.
      It’s not advance when people are slaving away for more than 40hrs per week to get by!!!
      Norway’s citizen work a maximum of 30hrs per week…enjoy paid sick leave and paid maternity leave.
      Japanese have paid maternity leave for both mom and dad for a whole year!
      USA is a shithole country!
      Behind on technology!

  1. Looks like my dream of owning the White House might not be just a dream, even without a job i think i can afford it now 🤣🤣🤣

    1. @IAM8 I am typying this just so I can get the notification whenever you explain. So please tag me lol

    2. 😂😂😂 You fools IAM8 is lying to you there’s not goin to be a recession Trump is too smart

    1. @Andreana Calhoun but you don’t know which are lazy and who might have emontial/mental limits and disabilities, most people just group them together as all the same, like people will say …all police are bad ,or all native -americans,or all African -americans,or all jews,etc are bad in some way, so who of you gets to play God and deside which individuals in a group are bad or lazy or if they “all”are?it’s called racism, looking down on a type of people that you think your better than,

    2. @MARSOC Airman that’s not true. The working class saw a reduction in taxes last year and this year. I’m not a fan of Trump right now, but what you said is false.

  2. What if it’s all a dream and you wake up go to someone and tell someone what year it is and they say it’s 2015

    1. Jessica DeTrant oh you knew about a random virus starting out of nowhere way back in 2015? Stop

    1. @Smileyone The U.S. has declared a National Emergency. According to Wikipedia, that means the government can do things they aren’t normally supposed to, violating some if not all of our rights. So essentially, we are the land of the free until the government has a reason to declare national emergency. If what I think is happening is happening, expect to see more national emergencies in the future.

    2. @Trantor the Troll it’s always a bait and switch, literally none of the executive orders from any of the governors or mayors giving them extra powers help anyone, and theres no supplies to hand out so what do we need the national guard for?

    3. @Jimboramba it’s been happening for years, there are minor and major events that get everyone, even the Patriots in the mood to give up their liberties in exchange for safety or something else. I started to notice this and put 2+2 together when Ferguson and Baltimore riots happened.

    4. @Nashville Dude President Trump isn’t wrecking the economy, the hysterical uninformed shameless media is.

    1. @Frankie Mendoza You are absolutely right. It’s about us, and what we make of this world! I don’t know anything about you, but I like your attitude. Be strong, and don’t let the ones that take pride in being victims get to you! What kind of man is proud of his failures, victimization, and no other, better path.

    2. @671homey A recession is an opportunity for the cunning and a disaster for those who are impoverished mentally, no matter how wealthy they may already be.

  3. This is going to be another post 911 economy. Great opportunity for people who have been priced out of the market. Stocks, homes, and loans will all be super cheap and easy to get. Fortunes are made in down markets.

    1. @Thinker702 it’s not messed up, go somewhere else, and let the rich trip over themselves when they cant get Starbucks or an education because nobody can afford to live there

    2. @Thinker702 I bet you can’t wait to get your free $1,000 check under Romney’s bill, can you peasant?

    1. @Tyrex well the gates administration held a pandemic exercise in october with top health officials ….before we even heard of this virus entering humans, and their exercise simulation showed 65 million deaths called “exercise 201” they knew about something before it became something

    2. @BranDaDon g that’s very interesting actually. But still far from a smoking gun. And even if they did know this was coming, they would’ve known that it wasn’t that powerful in terms of killing people. So why even bother if it’s not effective?

      Any hoot there was a response by John Hopkins to this exercise. I’m not trying to discredit your information, just simply add to the counter argument.

    3. @cherryfairyy Do your research. 5G runs on 60ghz radio waves. Breathable by oxygen. Why do you think there is no Flem when you have corona virus? Study a little.

    4. @cherryfairyy Where was 5G first introduced and running? Wuhan China. Where did the corona virus start? WUHAN China.

    5. @Chasing Crypto first of all I have done my research. Facebook memes and conspiracy theory websites arent research. Research includes actual proven sources with proven facts and studies behind it. Nothing you are saying has any actual facts behind it. And your second statement is a logical fallacy. You could twist that statement to fit any narrative. For example: ” _____ lives in China, the virus started in China, so this proves they created it! ” Its not proof of anything.

    1. @Skully’s Corner That doesn’t mean this isn’t a manufactured crisis…open your mind to more factors then just trump.

    2. @John Doe There has been an abundance of evidence to show the virus is real and not “manufactured”. Why don’t you explain the evidence showing this is manufactured? If you have factual proof I think many would be open minded but just saying it does not make it so. Show evidence. Its breaking news all over Russia is at it again, trying to divide the west. It wont work this time…..

    3. @Skully’s Corner cause there’s no such thing as “having evidence”….the entire theory is based on the premise the people doing it don’t leave a bread crumb trail right to them “facepalm*

    4. @John Doe That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. You have no clue how things work in the US. Russia may do things different but the US requires evidence to prove cases, to prove facts. We don’t just take someones word for things here. Good try…well not really.

    5. @Skully’s Corner *rolls eyes* clearly I had every intention of taking this to the supreme court lol

    1. I’m taking annual leave. I moved out of Sydney back with my folks in the country. In a few weeks time I think Australia will be heading towards Italy. People here are so dumb and oblivious. Apart from the people panic shopping most others think it’s a joke. I had a cop a few days ago tell me it was all media hype. 😖

    2. Skully’s Corner please vote him out please. I was a big trump supporter until recently. Please vote him out. He is a menace

    3. The trump administration is talking about sending $850 checks to Americans affected by the coronavirus situation

    4. Vinny B wait why isn’t the casinos paying y’all? The casinos in Colorado just gave everyone a month off with pay! And if not mistaken ameristar is owned my a Vegas casino

  4. Let’s focus down to the root cause first.. All Countries are affected..
    #Banned China Wet Market for wildlife animal

    1. ban meat peroid if u want to stop the spread of animal disease to humans.. but no bc u guys care about ur taste buds more than human or animal health

    2. @cherryfairyy no because people need to die for our natural resources not to be finite and you know overpopulation.

    1. @Kenshannon Jeter

      I thought that the previous president was always to blame for everything. 🤔

      I mean, I surely blame him for events like the 1908 San Francisco earthquake and the Astros cheating scandal. That’s fair, right?

    2. You know what a recession is right? Econ 101. It goes up and up a recession is a drop in spending for a cycle. Kinda like when a virus such as this hits and economy slows down.

    1. Get rid of nasa’s funding for the year. Do we really need more space shuttles and crap. I don’t think so.

    2. Seriously, it was a joke. Just trying to lighten this up. It’s called humor, everyone knew what that was before all this. My bad

    3. Ikr….this is the time to extend some real charity…unlike Bloomberg who thought that $500million can get him the nomination!
      Put the money to good use….buy groceries and supplies for everyone!

  5. All this is stressing me out and giving me anxiety. My family and I were just starting to be okay and now this is happening. Im really scared to see what’s to come.

    1. @King Trance Educate me then. I’d prefer to understand. What have we lost out of social safety nets? All welfare, food stamps, unemployment payments are guarenteed.

    1. Ltpwnface im in two ETFs rn. I’m down but I like my average so I’m holding long term obviously. Hopefully can double my money within the next year or so. NOT going to sell at a loss… no sir

    2. Jay Camacho That’s good, right now I only have Disney and a leveraged ETF but I’m going to buy VOO tomorrow. It’s a good time to buy 🙂

    1. their solution is distribution of confusion and dillusion while theyre persuing the perforation in the fabric of us humans…. BARS × 2!!!
