Black unemployment usually functions as a warning sign for a recession.
I think we are already in stagflation. People are just not familiar with the concept.Black unemployment usually functions as a warning sign for a recession.

It’s going to be an economic disaster. The republicans based all their economic policies on ideology and put a bunch of idiots in leadership positions to execute them. It’s a recipe for an economic disaster. I also think the wealthy will benefit by buying up everything that can’t sustain itself during the downturn.We very well may be. Not sure how trustworthy our economic data is right now.
More bad news for next year is that companies are announcing that they can't continue eating the tarrif expenses. If they shield that burden on consumers, and gas prices go up for any reason, 2026 could be an economic disaster.
What a horseshyt article. It offers no real evidence for the claims it's making and just substitutes ideology for analysis, which is what these culture-war pieces always do. He's taking a real problem and then pointing the finger at the DEI boogeyman instead of the systems that actually caused it.
White men are finally feeling downstream effects of the same economic forces that hit Black men decades ago. Only back then it wasn't framed as a national moral crisis or a gross injustice. They ignored the disinvestment, the suburbanization, the hollowing out of urban areas, and so on. There wasn't this mass panic about a "lost generation." Instead, it was all blamed on culture, or treated as an individual failing.
None of this is even new, and it isn't caused by DEI. It's the predictable result of capitalism. What do you think is going to happen when offshoring, union busting, consolidation, and prioritizing profits over anything else becomes the only goal? Blaming DEI just provides ideological cover so we don't have to talk about who actually made those decisions or why white men still dominate most positions of power despite all this supposed "discrimination."
Both JD Vance and Jacob Savage are full of shyt. They don't care about why this is happening. They care about protecting power. They're trying to redirect anger away from the real causes and toward an easy scapegoat, and too many people will fall for it.
I made the thread after I posted here and its already 4 pages back on TLRWonder if tlr cares
