No jobs? Corporations laying off to save millions for the next CEO benefits package? Young ones with too much free time and no money now..... perhaps incentive enough to consider joining in on the rising tide of crime in the nation? Let's face it, just reporting "stuff" is no longer relevant to a society that has no tools to fix "stuff". Why not ask 'AI" for help? (good luck)

Well, lets make it easier, then!

Lower the interest rates!

We still have them above 3%, a historically very elevated level. Higher levels were only post-COVID inflation, and pre-2008. We don't want to create another recession, right?

This has not been the greatest environment for non-traders, I feel.
