One thing that seems consistent is:

unironically strippers and whores. when the banker bros quit buying strippers and whores, its because things in the hedgefunds are really really bad

dont believe what the State tells you. Ask your local stripper (only applicable in big city markets but mainly Miami and NYC)

fareplay was still whining about housing prices and they are pulling down north of 350k/year.


To be fair, fareplay spends way too much money

Lmao what a dumbass chart. There were 4 instances of significant rate hikes starting through the mid to late 80s and recession didn’t come until the early 90s.

Given that there is still historic demand for skilled tradesmen across the country I would posit that it ain't happening anytime soon

Go ahead and ignore that this demand is being driven by a huge shortage in the trades that has nothing to do with the economy. Lot of folks retired in the last five years. There will always be demand for skilled workers. They just don’t exist right now.


We’re sitting on a doomsday scenario

Two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. We had one most recently in summer 2022.

Same with boats. People financing $250k boats on 20 year terms was never going to end well.

The fricking canary has been dead for 15+ years. Kicking the can by way of inflating the money supply...

It was fricked years ago....but it turns out that our politicians are necrophilies and just keep revisiting the damn corpes.

What specific indicator do you think will foretell a real recession?


I don't think you can look at one specific indicator in our current scenario, you have to take it all in.

Credit card debt, delinquencies and interest rates all climbing at the same time are a bad sign (with credit card debt being at a historic high and interest rates being near there as well), but not an entire picture. Along with that we've had inflation continuing to rise while steadily beating wage growth. Inflation has been especially sticky in the necessities of energy, food and shelter while wages have been outpaced.

This puts the Fed in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" position where if they raise rates they risk more businesses failing but if they cut rates they risk creating more inflation (possibly even a hyperinflation event).

All taken together, this looks like a massive consumer credit bubble. If/When it pops, I don't see an avenue for it to not lead to a recession.
