  1. j. yelen be giving mix messages all the time

  2. The economy is collapsing in the west. Don’t let them lie to you.

  3. 👍👍. I've been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it's the best time to get started on the market. i was at a seminar and the host spoke about making over $972,000 within 3 Months with a capital of $200,000.

  4. It’s not called mixed messaging… it’s called someone is lying. There is only one truth and the truth shouldn’t be so ambiguous. Unfortunately it is what it is.

  5. Americans are struggling with clothing food oil and gas prices and products President Joe policy not happening a good day and the corrupt Clintons sold uranium to Russia and that why Russia has more nuclear weapons than America and North Korea ballistic missiles can reach the USA with nuclear war heads and Hawaii wants to become a independent nation again because of Biden Obama Trump Clinton

  6. Biden not addressing the economy does nothing but drain wallets. He has had many chances to work with Congress to make better decisions and he has failed to do so. An angry old boomer who already made his, and now could care less about families.

  7. Lies… Walmart is only increasing it for new employees… its not across the board. Expect more shootings…

  8. We were supposed to have a recession by now what gives??

  9. How much better were we when Trump was president

  10. How Joe Biden’s incompetence and stupidity could impact your wallet.

  11. The government is so broke they are secretly not paying anyone any Social Security Backpay.. my gf has been waiting on that for her autistic son for years even though he has been drawing it… if the government can't meet its obligations.. how are we expected to when the govt is supposed to have more money.

  12. The message doesn't change the economy. The powers that be change the economy, such as hunger, food, shelter and the soul. Even the rich eat and have to hire people to cook for them. Humans don't control reality and expectations; they can't control natural. They might add stuff but when its natural it's not because they control reality or expectations. The powers that be change the economy. So, it doesn't matter the message, but the reality and expectations of this. Does it feel like you are doing the right thing right now? What is the right thing you should be doing right now at this moment? Go do the right thing. Doing the right thing at this moment is a message? who cares. If they are doing the right thing they'll be told about psalm 23 but if not then idk. They are probably damned or something is stopping them. but yeah psalm 23 is a message but what are you going to do? the powers that be change the economy not the humans. you should be doing the right thing but what is it? Imagine going to work felt wrong and now that you thought about it you say huh… what? and then realize going to sleep felt right. "this feels right and I should be doing the right thing right now. Not what feels good or bad, but the right thing because in the end I will lose nothing if i do the right thing instead of the wrong thing since in the end doing the wrong thing meant going to work and if i do the right thing I still lose something either way. If i don't do what is right then why is my life going down the wrong path?

  13. Walmart better offer bullet proof vests too !!!

  14. The economy is sh1t. This is a bunch of lies.

  15. Mixed messages from the economy? What is this, the George Santos economy?

  16. A FLASH MESSAGE FOR TRUMP SAYING COME BACK .
