Macy’s, Costco and other big chains say shoppers are pulling back at their stores and changing what they buy. That could be a red flag for the US economy.
Stagnant wage, ($2800/mo in some places) apartment rent price surpassing the moon and on it’s way to Jupiter and Saturn, inflation + greedflation exceeding 20% in the last few years, and so many more.

Here my anecdote, the entire economy in the last few years sent my ENTIRE family into a panic, I am literally setting up a mini-farm that is 100% automated with farm bot to sustain my family (you can check https://farm.bot , everything there is open source and they provide a package for pre-built stuff if you want it.)
