I've been of the opinion that Teska is doing the same thing and has been for at least the last 3 years.

Also, retail store closures are up 69% this past year. 10,000 plus stores closed. 100,000s of thousands lost jobs. Many of those job loses were offset by holiday season hires at other companies, but those jobs will now start ending.
It's probably going to be a rough first quarter on Trump's watch. The funny part is he'll be blamed for it when in fact he had absolutely nothing to do with it.

And now, this:
Door dash is starting to finance fast food. So now, we've reached the point Americans can afford fast food and have to finance it.

Late credit card payments have hit a record high: Here's how to tackle outstanding debt
The percentage of credit card accounts that were at least 90 days past due hit a 12-year high at the end of 2024.
The percentage of credit card accounts that were at least 90 days past due hit a 12-year high in the fourth quarter of 2024.
It also revealed that 11.12% of cardholders were making just the minimum payment, up from 10.65% in 2023 and 9.91% in 2022.
Americans are often behind on their bills in January and February, according to Bloomberg, after breaking the bank during the holiday season. There’s usually a rebound in March and April, though, as consumers use their tax refunds to pay down debts.
But these highs, coupled with collective credit card debt hitting a record $1.21 trillion, “indicate greater consumer stress,” according to the report.
In a survey conducted April 2-3 of 2,000 U.S. consumers ages 18 to 79, around half reported having used buy now, pay later services. Of those consumers, 25% of respondents said they were using BNPL loans to buy groceries, up from 14% in 2024 and 21% in 2023, the firm said.
Meanwhile, 41% of respondents said they made a late payment on a BNPL loan in the past year, up from 34% in the year prior, the survey found.
We're financing food and making late payments on it.

- All of his jobs are lies. The time spent at them, name of company, salary, job titles, all of it.
- He's not made a payment on a credit card since 2018. He simply maxes one out, doesn't pay a dime on it, gets another one, rinse - repeat.
- He's got a $375,000 house and two $45,000 dollar cars he just purchased two years ago.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.
