Top Economist Predicts 90% Chance of A Recession

Top Economist Warns; Empty Shelves This Month, Recession This Summer

Chyrons leading into Erin Burnett's show on CNN. I am excepting her show from my CNN boycott because of her excellent coverage for the past few weeks.

Still, this is rough news.

And then they blame the destruction on us through their shitty news network.

Kamala was right about this. On the campaign trail, she repeatedly warned there could very well be a recession next year (2025) if Trump's tariffs proposals go into effect.

Some folks are expecting the "Greater" Depression.

My indicator? More houses going up for sale, and taking longer to sell. Usually starts about 6 months before a recession is officially declared.

100%. That's all of them. Every Republican President since Hoover.

Have only found 2 pieces with the detector, a small chain and a 10K class ring,

Found several old 14K antique eye glass frames, usually marked on the nose bridge. 2 years ago I got a 14K 1958 gold Swiss wrist watch for a dollar and sold it for $400. I've found it pretty hard to purchase gold coins or ingots. Too much of a premium from the seller and the buyer.
Looks like copper is doing great now.

I have a lot of time on my hands.
