Is this how a recession feels?
Honestly didn't expect it to be THIS kind of recession
An internet/social media recession, we're truly living in the 21st century.
Doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing, either. Sometimes a recession is a necessary reset, and maybe it's time for social media to have one.
This is really fascinating. As usual, the people at the lower end of the economic scale get screwed while the fat cats are mildly inconvenienced. Hopefully we can prop each other up with federation.
It's going to be a world record speed run at this rate.
If this feels like struggling to feed yourself and your children, scraping to try to pay rent before you're evicted, desperate to find any job available and scared because you have no options and nowhere to turn, then yes, it feels like a recession.
