The items going down are due to struggling people cutting back (less demand)...while things like shelter keep going up...

Things are not getting better...

And that last jobs report showed struggle too...FT dropping, PT increasing & 2-job people rising...

Now, more out of work...

Both sad and infuriating at the same time...

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/gen-zer-buys-200-plot-land-desert-after-complaining-about-owning-nothing

...and it is a painful life lesson that most people go through and not enough properly assess and pivot out of.

"They did everything they (them!) told them to do"...

Therein lies your chief problem.  Never, ever listen to they/them!  You were groomed by a failed public education system filled to the brim with rotten Marxist/Radical filth that filled your head with nonsense on race, history, religion, politics, sex...everything.  Your parents likely were negligent spoiled brats of the 60's & 70's who were too hands off on your upbringing and of the non-judgemental derrangement school of failed parenting that basically did what it was told in order to destroy the nuclear family...you were never taught about real life, real history, real anything.  Nobody held a gun to your head to incur mountains of debt for a degree in whatever boutique radical dreck that only propped up corrupt negligent politicized institutions and faculty...and now you bemoan your fate all too late.

You should have gone to a trade school and learned a valuable skill capable of generating an income, maybe for some of you it isn't too late...for others doing whatever you can to extricate yourselves must be attempted, giving up is not a valid option...a last resort may be in pooling together to find ways as a group to extricate yourselves.

This is so sad and so infuriating because it was not necessary if just one sane parent, teacher, neighbor, friend...somebody...broke through the bullsh*t.

Consumer cutback was always inevitable...

The PTBs made this mess and will likely not make things better sans huge political and economic changes.

Fed/Treas sold their soul to limitless spendaholics in the UniParty and get to hold the bag....they willingly let themselves be cornered...

And a lot of PTB helped fund this trucking software behemoth...

...is it alive, dead or just in a coma?

And this is just criminal...

Too early for the PPT to act?  Without the stock markets aka "casinos"...how are the PTBs to reap harvests?

Only thing rising lately is gold and oil...nothing they can do about oil since the Obamian puppet FJB murdered domestic exploration and exploitation and made us hostages of OPEC+/BRICS...but they can monkey-hammer gold, they've done it numerous times before and no doubt will do it again...matter of when not if...it's just that persistent inflationary pressure keeps asserting itself again and again...so whatever hammering goes on is likely to be short-lived, so I expect sporadic attempts and well-timed harvesting in the casinos...

Have to see if any of these are undervalued...

https://www.zerohedge.com/military/war-racket-these-25-defense-companies

...given the trends business could be picking up...might as well see if any can be exploited...

And given the utter failure if not outright collapse of electric nonsense...these may need to be looked at for bargains as well...

Looks like things are trending worse...

https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/us-home-prices-rose-5th-straight-month-august

...and the lag effect may show a recession in Q1 but revised data for December when it comes I bet shows it all started really skidding in that month...

Watching Powell's Fed statements and Q&A sessions made me chuckle...he made a nuanced answer to the question on the Treasury yield movement that to those who understood it clearly was a backhanded slap to Yellen's BS trying to distract people from the fact she is pumping liquidity for a spendaholic government while he (the Fed) is leaving Fed rates alone and letting the QE tapering tighten things...

So, where economic, fiscal and monetary policy in a sane sense would see all three working in concert we see fiscal and monetary policy working one direction and economic policy going another...perpetuating the dance of slow death...leading to sudden expiration...

And since Powell and the Fed seem committed to waiting to see more positive persistence in the data and getting to the target 2% inflation level...the risk is on failing on the risk mitigation side of their goal...if they strangle things too hard they will be adding more hurt to the middle class and not alleviating it...another difficult dance step to maintain...

If the spendaholics do not restrain themselves (and when pray tell in history has that ilk ever shown that kind of enlightenment?) then yields will climb, long-term rates pop and we'll be lucky to have a recession vs depression and if the spendaholics fire up the presses inflation could go full-Zimbabwe and it will be a complete meltdown...

Bodes ill for downstream costs to producers and consumers...offset by less income for Panama and less fees for their Chi-Com overlords, er operators...lil' slip o-tongue there..but everyone should know they have deep ties in nearby port operators, certification firms and local infrastructure projects...

Sick! 

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/endgame-interest-us-debt-skyrockets-above-1-trillion-first-time-ever

All those who stood on the way of term limits, balanced budget amendments and super-majorities for debt ceiling increases and tax hikes and instead allowed continuing resolutions and omnibus bills over appropriation bills, grotesque spending and pork, cried over so-called shutdowns and did nothing families do in tough times are condemned to the depths of Hell for allowing this!!!

Gas is way down and still falling.  Until spring when it will shoot through the roof again.

As low as $2.799 in my neck of the woods.  Nothing else has dropped.

Well, with the corrupt puppet FJB making us hostages of the OPEC+ despots...and the latter not increasing production...it is obvious the drop is due to cratering demand due to the horsesh*t FJB economy...

More on the subject of stupidity...

Goolag good, BigOil putre evil!

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/exxonmobil-vs-google-profits-taxes-perceptions-explained

Stupidity is what keeps us stuck with corrupt leaders...all part of the death-spin into misery...

On a happier note...nice to see rebellion to 1% assholes anywhere...

https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/wild-times-sam-altman-joins-microsoft-openai-taps-ex-twitch-ceo

...the narcissists that pollute most Boards being what they are, I expect the rebels will need to live up to their threat...and another outfit goes the way of Project Veritas, Disney...crap like that...

Let them die...

The logistics implosion looks a lot scarier when you see all the bankruptcies, closures and layoffs piled up...

https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/layoffs-and-bankruptcies-pile-logistics-amid-shocking-downturn

And hammered citizens struggling in this man-made disaster FKB economy are reaching for the last life preserver left to them - their 401K's...

https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/inflation-battered-americans-raiding-401ks-pay-mortgages-and-rent

...and that after exhausting expensive debt options...

...look at all the misery wrought by a corrupt government and the globalists...

https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/11-signs-us-consumers-are-very-serious-trouble-we-head-final-stretch-2023

Typically, planned destruction is followed by the recycling of materials for the creation of something different...given the extent of the destruction it is painfully obvious that what may come next is likely to be immensely horrible.  Plan accordingly.

These EcoNazi fools are looking to meddle with the private sector to end coal plants...

https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/us-and-france-will-seek-halt-private-funding-coal-plants-cop28

...and to Hell with France, in the US this cannot be done legitimately...government force to financial starve and murder clean coal plants?  Screw them, should be massive pushback on this!  Where's Joe Manchin?  I think he found a cause to champion, eh?

And, in a perfect picture of how things are gamed...

https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/initial-jobless-claims-unexpectedly-tumbled-last-week

...a slip up in the hiding of the pain.

And this will cause more negative downstream ripples...

The planned destruction of America by The Kenyan's puppet FJB continues to roil towards its intended chaos and dystopian fix...

Probably not very widely shared with the captives...

IMO this can only increase in pace the longer the corrupt stay in power...
