Savings are at an all time high after the stimulus checks and enhanced unemployment. It just ran out in september but i’m sure the savings will hold people over for a bit.
- AtlasBarfed 5y agoIt's almost like America was a demand starved economy with everyone in debt, as if all the money that would normally flow through the exchange of goods and services and generate GDP and a healthy economy were hoarded by an elite few. I mean, that's still true, it's just that we printed money for a bit. We'll go back to wage slavedom soon.
