Hello Washington?

Even for Americans with jobs, wages are going nowhere. Basically, the only employers hiring are paying peanuts. McDonalds just announced it would start hiring big time.

What good is it when people HAVE NO MONEY to buy their NEWLY INCREASED PRICED toxic food? let alone anything else. This whole Fast Food jobs will save America is a FALLACY of the first order. We are all being herded like sheep to ACCEPT this strategic manipulation by the corporate villains.

It seems clear to me we are headed towards another recession. All indicators are pointing in that direction. Less demand for gasoline is driving gas prices up, and its also making people think twice about certain trips and it gets compounded at that point. Add those not working, so not driving to work, not driving to buy anything other than absolute necessities.
