You just have sign an agreement promising not to say anything. I think they're also asking that you turn off your cell phone this time, just incase Dinesh is watching.

Maybe people need to totally max out the 5 credit cards that have before there’s a slow down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer254 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) The unemployment rate rose to 3.7% in May against the estimate for 3.5%. May’s jobless rate was the highest since October 2022. Compared to May 2022 jobs, they are down 364k to 339k. Seems the headlines may not quite show what is truly going on.

The quality of the jobs improved and a .2% drop is minuscule. Quit your weirdness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recent data has shown that consumers continue to spend, though they are dipping into savings and increasingly using credit cards to pay for their purchases.

Despite the job market, the economy is not in a good place. A lot of fear and uncertainty remains. The so called savings that a lot of people built over the past few years was artificial due to COVID perks. To a great extent that money created the inflationary cycle we’re in today. It’s not possible to infuse trillions of dollars into the economy without some grave reactions. Those stimulus checks created more damage to the economy than the COVID shutdowns.
