“A majority of voters think the economy will be in worse shape in 2023 than it is now and roughly two-thirds say the nation’s economic trajectory is headed in the wrong direction, the latest Wall Street Journal poll shows.
‘I just think we are headed toward a recession and it could be a pretty big one,’ said Republican poll participant David Rennie, a 61-year-old retired executive with the Boy Scouts of America who lives in Shelton, Conn. ‘Interest rates are skyrocketing and that’s going to take us down.’
Younger voters are more pessimistic about the economy’s prospects next year than older voters. Roughly six in 10 of those ages 18-34 expect it to be worse over the next year, while 42% of those 65 and older feel that way.
Democratic poll participant Kendra Lewis, a 38-year-old business consultant and entrepreneur who lives in Fayetteville, Ga., said she is already seeing some of the small-business people she works with act as if they are in a recession.”
“As the snow flies and temperatures plummet, regulatory agencies and analysts alike warn that residents in multiple U.S. states are at an elevated risk of dangerous winter blackouts.
States such as Texas and North Carolina, and also the Great Lakes and New England regions are in the highest risk category, according to a report from the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC).
Meanwhile, a ‘large portion’ of the U.S. power grid is at risk of insufficient electricity supplies during peak winter conditions, the agency concluded in the same analysis.
Although climate change advocates claim that severe weather events are the primary culprit, energy insiders say tight fuel supplies and an outdated electric grid play a critical role in potential blackouts.”
“Conservatives who won school board elections with campaigns vowing to change what students learn about race, sex and gender—or who opposed Covid protocols—have acted swiftly since November, replacing superintendents and overhauling policies at their first public meetings.
The outcome of those efforts in the normally sleepy local races was mixed. But in Florida, South Carolina and other states where conservatives won new school board majorities, they are taking immediate action to shake up school districts as they said they would.
'I think every superintendent has been put on notice,' said Tiffany Justice, the co-founder of Moms for Liberty, a Florida-based education nonprofit that has grown to 42 chapters since it was founded last year. The group advocates for the rights of parents to determine rules for their children in matters such as Covid precautions and gender identity.“
Finally Friday, Ripped From The Headlines. Things To Ponder:
(EDITOR’S NOTE): Words highlighted in orange are clickable links, providing more information.
Interesting what happens when you ACTUALLY ASK PEOPLE about the economy…
So… how about that Wall Street Journal Survey huh? You can access the full report by Clicking Here.
The responses are pretty telling of how people actually feel, regardless of their political affiliation or location.
A few other interesting takeaways:
WOW. Looks like 2023 is going to be rough.
Looks like people are going to be left in the cold after all…
The Government told you there wasn’t a problem…
We showed you something different…
And now?
You can clearly see that the government has no idea - knows exactly what they’re doing. Check this quote out:
“There is a significant gap to upgrade aging grid infrastructure to meet net-zero mandates and maintain reliability, and we are running out of time,” analyst Kim Getgen told The Epoch Times.
Guess what’s more important?
It’s certainly not you.
How about those new school boards!
These folks aren’t messing around are they?
The thing you probably thought about least is now a trigger for critical decisions around our children…
And people are waking up - finally.
Support those folks who are trying to do the right thing, whenever and however you can.
What Does This Mean?
You fellow humans recognize that things are wrong…
AND NOW THEY ARE EXPRESSING IT.
