Consumer Confidence Falls to Levels Usually Seen During Recessions
Wait, the public doesn't have confidence in the steady hand of Joe Biden?
Hard to believe.The confidence of American households in the health of the U.S. economy unexpectedly declined in August, with optimism about the future dropping near to levels typically associated with the approach of a recession. The index of U.S. consumer confidence fell to 106.1 in August from a revised 114 in the prior month, the Conference Board said Tuesday. Economists had forecast a reading of 116.6, down slightly from the initial reading of 117.0 for July. The prior month's figure was revised down 114.0. "Consumer confidence fell in August 2023, erasing back-to-back increases in June and July," said Dana Peterson, Chief Economist at The Conference Board. "August's disappointing headline number reflected dips in both the current conditions and expectations indexes. The gauge of how consumers feel about current economic conditions declined to 114.9 from 153.0. The share of consumers saying jobs are plentiful dropped to 40.3 percent from 43.7 percent in July. The share of those saying jobs are "hard to get" rose to 14.1 percent from 11.3 percent. The share of consumers saying business conditions are bad rose by one point to 17.2 percent. The share saying conditions are good was unchanged at 20.7 percent. Consumer fears of inflation are once again on the rise.Indeed -- JusttheNews reports that food prices are expected to rise throughout 2024.
Recently released federal pricing analysis from the U.S. Department of Agriculture projects that food prices will continue to rise through 2024. The USDA pointed to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index released earlier this month, which showed consumer prices overall rose 3.2% in the previous twelve months. Food prices, though rose more quickly at 4.9% during the same time. Now, USDA says that increase will continue. "Food prices are expected to grow more slowly in 2023 than in 2022 but still at above historical-average rates," USDA said in its analysis. "In 2023, all food prices are predicted to increase 5.9%, with a prediction interval of 5.3% to 6.5%. Food-at-home prices are predicted to increase 5.2%, with a prediction interval of 4.4% to 6.1%. Food-away-from-home prices are predicted to increase 7.1%, with a prediction interval of 6.8% to 7.5%." Food prices are rising more slowly than the fever pitch inflation spike earlier in the Biden administration, but those prices are still increasing. "Food prices are expected to continue to decelerate but not decline in 2024," USDA said. "In 2024, all food prices are predicted to increase 2.8%, with a prediction interval of -2.0% to 7.9%. Food-at-home prices are predicted to increase 2.1%, with a prediction interval of -5.1% to 9.9%, and food-away-from-home prices are predicted to increase 5.1%, with a prediction interval of 2.7% to 7.5%." Food costs soared in particular in 2022, rising by 9.9%. While 2022 saw the largest spike, prices had already begun rising earlier in the Biden administration.Oh well, if food is too expensive, you can instead eat Trans Propaganda, which is plentiful.

Wow, American households look at the persecution of any opposition to the current incompetent junta and their confidence in the U.S. economy *unexpectedly* declines.
Why its almost as if people no longer believe all the FNM propaganda. Sadly they persist in believing the
candidate X is a monster stuff. 21st century Great Depression seems unavoidable. But I'm sure all the statesmen will kick that can down the road for long enough that the crash will be super spectacular and extra hard to recover from.

Speaking of work, my billable hours have been fluctuating wildly for a couple of years now. I have not gotten overtime in at least two years, and sometimes I barely make it to 35 hours. Locally the engineering and survey projects *seem* robust (the locusts fleeing CA and MI), but...
I used to work 45 to 50 hour weeks during the summer months. That went away, partly the Coof, partly the current regime.

If I spend the SSDI Pooky receives, it goes to groceries. So take comfort in the fact that your tax dollars are not 100% funding transpaganda, it's more like 97% with 3% to feed families that the government destroyed.

Too many people have been brainwashed to believe what Big Media tells them. Unquestioningly. If Big Media and Joe and his Expert Minions tell them all is good, and is in fact getting better, they believe it. I don't know how long it will take for the daily crappy realities to overcome the brainwashing. Because the Democrat-Media Complex spends all day, every day, broadcasting propaganda designed to reinforce the brainwashing.

I have a relative in her late 30s who's an independent businesswoman. Well, she's an aesthetician and eyelash artist here in California. She is losing clients because of the economy and the only way she is keeping her head above water is by living free at a relative's place. For years, she's been wanting to marry her boyfriend and start a family, but they can't even afford to set up house together. They're sort of hoping to do it by the end of the year, but they'll have to have a roommate. She's finally talking about leaving the state.
So there's one case. She struggles, she's stalled, she feels kind of depressed and helpless. And she believes that the people in charge have nothing to do with it. The economy just somehow... happens.

I felt bad for her before I remembered I worked two jobs, and my wife worked two jobs, and our ARM shot up to over 16% and there was no end in sight. As a single mom, she voted for Biden by about a 70/30% rate. My sympathy meter is dead.
She needs to post that shit on DU, or Daily Kos, and not a Chinese propaganda app. But I'm sure they're loving it.

This will bring the diversity we need in business and industry to revolutionize our economy! For the better for all Americans, no mater their political leanings! Also, within a few years I will personally build half-a-million EV chargers, from the Atlantic to the Appalachians and from the Pacific to the Sierras and Cascades! This will revolutionize the economy for all Americans! For the better! When the densely populated coastal areas profit it helps build the entire economy from the middle out and the bottom up!!!!!

And "penny restaurants" that served basic meals popped up. I've been thinking about them because the neighborhood place closed, was bought and reopened as a café that serves breakfast and lunch only.

A liberal friend of mine has assured me that the 'Inflation Reduction Act' was a good idea, 'It only makes sense', he said. 'What?' sez I, 'Printing a trillion dollars is going to reduce inflation?' They are oblivious to reason.

Our favorite sandwich place just up the street switched to serving only breakfasts and lunches.
There are a couple of places on my preferred route to the lapidary society's education center who are doing the same thing. I guess that I ought to give each one a taste in the coming months.

Powell is supposed to champion the banks whereas Yellen was championing the federal government when she was the head of the Fed.
I still think Yellen will be President on the theory that she can dig us out of the current problem in a way that the FedGov approves of

I heard something interesting the other day regarding the fall of the Roman Empire. Near the end, military recruits who were literate would immediately be eligible for extremely prestigious positions, even as high as the Praetorians.
See parallels in the US military where they keep dropping the standards and they STILL are having massive shortages. Also, there have been revelations that certain protected groups are finding ways to be exempt from deployments.

I felt bad for her before I remembered I worked two jobs, and my wife worked two jobs, and our ARM shot up to over 16% and there was no end in sight. As a single mom, she voted for Biden by about a 70/30% rate. My sympathy meter is dead. ...
Posted by: Divide by Zero at August 30, 2023 06:02 PM
I had a similar feeling. She talked about the cost of driving to her housecleaning jobs and $300 in child support not going as far. Then she goes on to say "I hate this country."
If she does vote, she votes for the side that imports folks who'll take her job, that pushes the idea that marriage is for suckers, and wants higher taxes for programs run by highly-paid bureaucrats.

Well by the time of the Fall was approaching troops were from the frontiers or even beyond rather than taken from the heartland of the empire. Whole tribes would be incorporated to be made citizens at discharge.
If you were poor and not on the frontiers you were likely a serf on a major plantation and the rich owners fought hard to keep these from being enrolled into the armies.
