24. Yes, you get that. It is called 'buyers regret'.

When the wheels fall off and the rust comes through the shiny paintwork, you start to think your 'smart' buy wasn't that smart after all.

But what did people expect?
Put a person with no interest or experience in politics or running a viable business in charge of the country, you get exactly what we have now.
Utter chaos, utter dismay, utter fear for the future.

I'm not surprised, neither is the rest of the world.

The perception can't be fixed. Because the idea that 'the economy is doing fine' is just a lie.
Sometimes facts expose the lies.
Daily observations say the economy isn't fine.
Pesky concept, personal experience and facts exposing lies, so inconvenient!
