The US was setting itself for quite a recovery in 2024... and for a class war too, so IDK what would get there first.

Yeah, and as part of the "class war", a majority of the lower classes decided to elect a billionaire whose first order of business was to implement giant tax cuts for the richest Americans while cutting programs like Medicaid and SNAP.

Class war will never work in America because we're too stupid.

		Correction: the class war already started long ago. Unfortunately the lower classes are not only getting trounced, they mostly don’t know the war is happening.

The needle has swung so far in the opposite direction that a class war is back on the menu.

Mass layoffs started in 2022, there was no setting for recovery in 2024.

		Mass layouts started when the government increased the interest rate to fight inflation. By 2024, inflation was already under control, the interest rate was falling slowly, and companies were starting to hire.
