    This is incredibly besides the point but the Treasury Secretary couldn’t find a nice enough room to provide a background for her virtual meeting?

Save money, why have to have 2-3 jobs.. thats NOT A LIFE!!!!

    Seems foolish of the one expert who says that this coming recession is more akin to the 60s, when the 60s became the recession of the 70s? Oh guys its not gunna be that bad!! But in 10 years, it will be terrible, but not right now, so don't worry.

  16. Paul Johnson

    This is just silly. If you look at videos about the late 70s inflation it is very similar. All these people are saying "This time is different". No it is not.

  17. Kane

    The Fed (in June 2021) expected to raise interest rates by late 2023, ha 🙂

  19. Andre Chandon

    6:45 "The Fed says it stays committed to its long held stance that today's inflation is temporary". Apparently this video was made in July 2021, it would be interesting to hear what the people in this video have to say now in June 2022.
