You were smart to put a question mark at the end of your thread title.
If you're high income, this is a great economy. If you're middle or low income, you're just trying to stay afloat.
K-shaped economy widens as middle-class spending slows: economist

The average American is doing better today than a year ago. And a lot better than when Biden was in office. They're upset because Biden crushed them during his term.
EJ Antoni, Snarl? Seriously?
Biden was awful, but he is history. The average American isn't upset about him. (in fact, Rasmussen's poll this week show more voters think Biden was better than Trump). It's Trump's economy now. He said so himself. And Trump's K-shaped economy is great for the rich and definitely not great for everyone else.
This is just a regurtiation of the post I made earlier, demonstrating that real wages are expanding again. Under Biden, they weren't.
Also, deportations and slowing immigration is deflationary @jdb.
Initially, because of reduced demand. If it catches up with the supply side, that's inflationary. Who the hell is going to mow your company's lawn or put on your roof? I would hate own a low skill, commoditized service business these days.
If we deported all the Elon Musks or all illegals over night, I agree with you. However, that's not how it plays out and we have such a large government most immigrants are net negatives economically speaking (especially after the recent Biden influx). Said another way, if I told you we were decreasing the population by 2 million people each year are you more worried about a deflationary cycle or inflationary one?
I'm not worried about housing. We build around 1.5-2 million homes annually (I thought it was higher?) The estimates I have read are 2 million illegals have been deported or self deported. Roughly 5-10% of the of population of illegals in the country. Somewhere around a third of construction workers are illegals. Assuming 10% stop building houses because they leave you have like 50k-100k fewer homes being built. However there are 2 million fewer people demanding housing. I don't see how that's inflationary? My bigger concern is deportations causing a deflationary cycle if they move too quickly.

Based upon the comments...they are clearly too poor for a WSJ sub... Or didn't bother to actually read the article. Which was about a luxury grocery store in NYC that sells things like $10/pint gourmet milk.

SWMBO buys them occasionally, and she says they're actually cheaper/lb than buying a whole chicken.

If we had a Costco here I'd join just for that.

US lost 92,000 jobs in February, third month in the last five with job losses. Futures markets are reacting.
With surging gas prices and continuing inflation, will be tough for Fed to lower rates.
@big-ryan you telling me that the economy is not getting hot like @snarlcakes promised me?

I didn't promise you anything. Feel free to tell me what's going to happen.
@snarlcakes I have no idea, just blowing you shit.
This was a terrible jobs report, however. And major downward revisions of the prior two months.
Terrible economic and immigration policy will do that 
@twenty "The U.S. shed 92,000 jobs in February, and previous months of job growth were not as strong as previously reported, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced Friday in a report that will raise alarms about the state of the economy.
"'Well, that was ugly,' wrote Mark Hamrick, senior economic analyst at the financial publishing company Bankrate, wrote in a note after Friday's data release."
