Isn’t Century 21 a realtor, not a retailer?

Inflation kills. Government creates inflation. If your favorite business shuts down, remember, dopey Joe did that.

Will voters remember that next year? No chance in hell. The stupid is baked in.

...rising rates, persistent inflation and slowing growth

What did the azzholes in government and the fed expect would happen when they needlessly pumped FIVE TRILLION into the economy when people weren't working?

All of this can be laid at the feet of the GD government's inept response to COVID and you can in the ultimate blame on Fauci and the CCP.

“Will voters remember that next year?”

If they DO remember, it’ll because the MSM will be trumpeting “Trump’s Fault!! Biden inherited a mess and is doing the best he can with the disaster Trump created.”

I’m guessing it’s a Century 21 property and they are looking for a new tenant while the old tenant broadcasts “Going Out Of Business.

I used to think it was people were uneducated, I am now more apt to believe people have been indoctrinated to only trust people called experts, or credentials, etc. They have lost their ability to think and reason for themselves. And worse? If they do they are ostracized, called conspiracy nuts, etc.

This is how dangerous and powerful the media and internet has become. Heck, one cannot find truthful news without purposeful searching, which can and does become exhaustive for many. And once found those sources are scorned by the indoctrinators.

Stupid baked in? I guess in a way you can say that, but it is mass indoctrination. And they do not even realize what has been done to them.

Not only that, Small Businesses are in the eyes of the Biden regime, considered RICH. They are even as I write this,

1) Considering INCREASES in their taxes. So no, anything above $400,000 will be taxed at an INCREASED rate.

2) Hiring 87,000 ADDITIONAL IRS agents ( who are required to know how to use firearms ) to monitor them.

3) Regulating them to death.

What difference would it make?

Voters already suffered from inflation in 2022, yet Democrats were still able to steal plenty of elections.

This has been on the radar since the beginning of last summer when a Bloomberg report indicated that a huge (I don’t recall the actual percentage) number of small businesses were more than 90 days behind on rent.

Other forward looking economic indicators forecast rough times, particularly on the consumer front. These include personal debt ratios and repossessions. There’s a helluva lot of people living paycheck to paycheck and concurrently maintaining their standard of living through debt. That does not end well for individuals or banks.

I doubt that's the real reason for attacking small businesses. The real reason:

Small businesses are a source of independence for non-woke owners.

By contrast, oligarchic corporations impose wokeness on employees, and partner with NGOs and the surveillance state to crush resistance to the NWO.

About 50% of the voters pay no income tax and rely on handouts from the government. They will vote for who gives them the most in handouts with little responsibility.

Try yandex.com. It’s a Ruskie search engine and the zeepers will likely whine but the results are much less filtered than any of the US engines.

You aren’t wrong:

They Trust Experts—Gen Z trusts experts including doctors (77 percent), scientists (75 percent), and educators (74 percent) above all, while trusting less the traditional authority figures of CEOs (50 percent), Government leaders (47 percent) and traditional celebrities (50 percent). Another possible interpretation of the data is higher trust for those who take care of them and others.

They Also Trust Those Close to Them—Their top sources of inspiration are family members (88 percent) and friends (84 percent), in sharp contrast to politicians (42 percent) and religious leaders (44 percent) who represent more distant institutions

The “experts” they trust are leftists and atheists. This is the end result of Americans foolishly pushing “education” for the last 30 years. They didn’t notice that “education” is controlled by leftist-atheists.
