According to a new report from the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity (LISEP), 25.2 percent of the U.S. workforce could now be classified as “functionally unemployed”—meaning jobless, seeking but unable to secure full-time employment or earning “poverty-level wages.”
Of course MSM won't report bad news like this, but neither will most of the "right wing press". The Buck and Travis Radio Show, (formerly Rush Limbaugh) is a glaring example. Occasional and selective "gaslighting" by these two - broadcasting over 700 radio stations nationwide - goes by unnoticed. And the American sheeple continue to remain hypnotized inside the "Overton Window" - like lemmings rushing over the cliff.
If you are a student of Orwell - and look at the forest and not the trees, it can be clearly seen that Buck and Travis are deep state sleeper cells - probably CIA operatives/assets.
Our Constitutional Republic is fallen and to believe otherwise is hopeium and vanity.
I've never seen gold and silver rocket like this... seems the fiat monopoly money's about to go full Weimar or Zimbabwe. Some metal guys are now talking... $600 silver and $15,000 gold...
Guess I’m old which I’m I would buy me a motor home to live in before paying almost $1700.00 a month for rent which is going down the drain. When my husband and I was moving to Missouri I refused to pay for a motel and told my husband u can sleep in the front seat of the rental truck and I will sleep in my pickup sitting up cause I had bucket type seats. Was I uncomfortable heck yes I was but the next day I still had my money in my pocket. Guess I’m just tight.
How people cant see through this charade by now is beyond belief. I suppose the cognitive dissonance caused by shattered illusions is just too overwhelming.
As you know, "cognitive dissonance from shattered illusions" is a natural psychological response to reality conflicts. Overcoming it requires self-awareness, honesty, and a commitment to truth.
Unlike cognitive dissonance, "epistemically captured individuals" are those whose ability to identify truth, differentiate between fact and fiction, and rely on trustworthy sources of knowledge is impaired, often due to deliberate manipulation or systemic influences. This condition arises not merely from exposure to lies, but from a breakdown in the cognitive mechanisms used to discern reality, which can be intentionally targeted through strategies like "firehosing" — flooding the public sphere with constant, shifting falsehoods to overwhelm accurate information. In such cases, loyalty to a group or ideology often supersedes honesty, and reality becomes a matter of opinion shaped by propaganda, outrage, and fear.
This phenomenon is particularly evident in political contexts where leaders and movements have weaponized epistemic capture to undermine trust in institutions such as journalism, science, and the judiciary. For example, the deliberate amplification of conspiracy theories and the labeling of unfavorable news as "fake" have contributed to a significant portion of the public inhabiting an alternate information universe, where established facts like climate change or election fraud are rejected. Once individuals are captured in this way, traditional democratic tools such as debate, persuasion, and evidence-based reasoning lose their effectiveness.
I know. It's laughable if it weren't so sad. So some of us sit here watching in the midst of it all. And yes, that's what I think too --- overwhelming.
Again, it’s fun to blame a boogeyman rather than look to a real solution. Shrugging our shoulders and resigning ourselves to “aw, golly, everything’s beyond my control, so I’ll just never bother trying” is how they always win and we always lose. They’ve TAUGHT US it’s not possible. They’ve TAUGHT US to assume the position.
Americans didn’t used to give in at the first sign of a struggle. Now apparently we do.
I’m not anyone’s Jesus, I’m not committing my life to helping or guiding huge numbers of those in need… BUT, I look to revolution.
Think of prison populations. Something like 5,000 inmates and 20 prison personnel. Yet day after day, with extremely few exceptions, the prisoners by and large obey the handful of uniforms. (If you don’t like the prison comparison, we could be the 40 kids in a school bus vs. the one bus driver. “We obey.)
What makes it so tempting to continue obeying is that every time we see someone try to buck the system, they get destroyed. THAT is because it’s always a lone wolf or small group, easy as hell to quash and make an example of. We need to stop the We Can’t Win mindset! We need to encourage and regrow the We CAN Win mindset, and once we have enough people to stop just going along with the program that we hate, we CHANGE the program.
My parents lived thru the depression and it scarred them in many ways. I look at my grandchildren and pray that they never have to go thru what my parents did.
I deal indirectly with car insurance companies. The adjusting companies I deal with are suddenly hurting for business which means they are cutting back our work. So once again we are reinventing ourselves. It has happened to me over and over again in my career as an entrepreneur. It's just part of life!
This is a mix of “being old” plus having grown up prior to the internet. With the internet there’s a constant barrage of info from every direction, with competing news from 999 other sites ALSO trying to grab your attention.
In reality there’s always been tons of news. We just never had access to most of it.
Anyone who claims there's no affordability crisis in America has their head up their ass...
Right. Like lamestream media.

I agree 100%. I listen to and trust little that's put out there, not even the weather "script readers".
Some say there's too much gloom and doom, things will be okay. I sincerely doubt that.

If you could vote your way out of this, they wouldnt allow it.
Can 'we' arrest, indict and prosecute 'our' way out of this?
Eh, that’s a fun thing to say, but if America had nominated a rational Republican candidate for 2024 we wouldn’t be in 75% of these ridiculous messes.
I can't agree. The uni-party just takes turns knifing us in the back. THIS is the agenda. They take turns moving it along.

Even you don’t believe that.
If people believed that, the Live Free or Die crowd would step off cliffs the second they realized it.
Instead, it’s just so much easier to create… then BLAME… a boogeyman 🤷♂️

What's your solution?
Where does one start??

We've been conditioned. Like mice/rats. And yes, there's power in numbers.
I always think of January 6. If anything put the fear of what they can do to us it was that. I think it was a message.
Tarriffs certainly make things worse..
My parents lived thru the depression and it scarred them in many ways. I look at my grandchildren and pray that they never have to go thru what my parents did.
I'm thinking what's coming will be way worse. Many of us have gotten soft, have few skills, and think food is grown in supermarkets.
God help all of us!!
The USA does not have a political, economic or cultural problem; the USA has a criminal problem, and until it's treated as such, nothing will change.
Bezos is selling WAPO to fund his takeover of Vogue/MetGala. Not many WAPO employees have skills that would transfer.
