Color me shocked...

But Joe Biden told me the economy is great

What is that called hacks ?

Recession

GeraldoRivera want to rant about these layoffs or nah?

I thought everything was great?

Wow. The Biden recession is getting worse. Will it become a historical depression?

Let’s Go Brandon!

Whoa, wait one minute. I have been reliably informed that the economy is fine.

Concerns? Now there are concerns? I guess after the republicans take the house and senate Tuesday you will finnaly say we are in a recession Wednesday?

But Biden says we aren’t in a recession, at least not until the mid terms are over.

Is mini Fox now? MuellerSheWrote JoJoFromJerz

Welcome to the world that the non-laptop class has been living in since the Covid lockdowns. Many people lost their businesses.

Lol I bet most of the employees in these companies worked hard to get vile Democrats elected, going to degenerate levels of depravity in doing so. Now it's coming back to haunt them. Hope they learn their lesson and vote Trump next election. Remember 2019, when everyone had 💰?

“Citing concerns about the economy” is an odd way of saying “protecting our profits.”

Biden’s America It’s going to get way worse

So we should blame elonmusk and not JoeBiden - right, leftist axios?

😂😂😂😂

JoeBiden this is your fault

“Concerns about the economy”… do they know people losing their jobs will actually make it worse? Or did they mean to say “concerns about our profits”

Recession

Are we allowed to start calling it a recession yet? Because it's been one for a few months now. Or will calling it a recession cause Biden to send the FBI to my door for misinformation? I bet you they allow us to call it a recession shortly after the Republicans win the midterms.

Hey media is it a recession or no

Lyft has tgeir doirs locked in Phoenix tonight

3 syllables. Re. ces. sion.
