sure, as long as you can get a small loan of a million dollars

you dont need a million dollar loan to find a good job or go to a great school learning something which will get you a good job. there are now three openings for every two people who are unemployed. And wages are still growing over the last year years across the board, pandemic challenges notwithstanding.

massive increase in consumer demand and consumer spending, large increases in household cash reserves. At this point the supply chain issues are because of demand. Everyone is able to buy whatever they want or place an order or change jobs for better jobs due to the labor shortage which was already fueling wage increases.

Its literally like dead last in terms of upward mobility, workers rights, wages, etc

It's crazy that people have access to so much information these days but still end up this uninformed.

Most European countries are poorer than Mississippi. They tax their poor at like three times the rate we do in the US. They make employment so expensive that immigrants can't even get hired legitimately. Even their left-wing parties are anti-immigration. There's a reason the US has far more immigrants than any other country.

I realize every mediocre white leftist from the suburbs ended up failing at life but that doesn't mean our economic system is to blame.

^wow I actually never knew this part about European countries being poorer than Mississippi

This country is great, but it can also be better. Some people want us to stay the way we are with expensive healthcare and having to work 60 or more hours a week. I have a way better job then my dad did, but living a lower quality of life.

Man, those people need to be educated by Twitter on just how bad it is here.
