I lurk sometimes but I see some gay shit in here. Why are you fuckers arguing with a furry? Fear not, the anime avatar is here. With actual facts instead of "look up the basic facts BRO".
Of course the economy is growing when people HAVE TO WORK 2 FUCKING JOBS JUST TO SURVIVE you judeo-bolshevik furry (((new world order))) cocksucker.
It's been that way for a long time. Much to no one's surprise, the people holding multiple jobs tend to be people working in retail, healthcare and social assistance. There's plenty of these CBC stories lamenting how bad the cost of living crisis is. Being an individual in that situation fucking sucks. Though one of the quotes from that CBC article is:
"After getting laid off during COVID I have bounced around across the country chasing a better job. After a couple years I find myself back in my hometown making a lot less, but still good money, taking home $4,000 a month. It struck me though one day crying and telling myself over and over, "I didn't do anything wrong," as I contemplated selling my condo because I can't afford it. At about $1,800 with utilities a one-bedroom condo or rent takes half my earnings."
– Chelsey Panagapko, Winnipeg
What is this condo owning fuck doing next to 70 years old who can't live on their pension? Fuck this guy in particular.
People having multiple jobs hasn't changed much unless I'm a retard and can't pick out stat differences from a laundry list of digits. What has changed however is income inequality.
The people making low salaries, are, surprise surprise, grossly disadvantaged. They get kicked in the teeth, their disposable income is non-existent, and they're saving less compared to prior years. The people with high salaries are stashing that money and making more investment money.
DiscoRodeo is correct. I believe we are currently in a recession.
As of November, retail sales are down. It's not indicative of the overall economy, but it gives an idea of how general consumers are operating.
Interestingly, a large part of the downturn comes from general merch and "food and beverages"
I am waiting on actual december-january-february data. You ought to keep in mind that this is in spite of the batshit immigration numbers. This is in spite of Loblaws telling people that they're doing so well because people require food to live.
I can get into how retarded housing has become, but we'd be here until next year. Rent will keep spiking as long as the federal government keeps importing millions a year, and bar having the mob or the hells backing you up, you're not building anything. Flipside is that the people Canada keeps wanting as immigrants are incredibly low quality renters.
