What is happening? The rise of inflation I assume.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

What is happening? The rise of inflation I assume.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

The US economy was showing signs of decline pre-Covid. Covid just paused and then accelerated the problem.

Chili's, Red Lobster, and the like never really served "food" in the way any reasonably intelligent person defines that term. The chickens are now finally coming home to roost

Why would a trucker who is an owner/operator bother having a home when they are constantly on the road?
Just an added expense that they get very little value from and have to spend money to maintain.
Not sure what exactly that has to do with the economy weakening.
Also, there are things called economic cycles that most people seem oblivious too.
People act as if these are "bad" things. No, they aren't, because they act as a reset button for the economy so it can move up again.
These idiots have talked about how we are 'on the brink of recession" for like 5 years now and still hasn't happened. When it inevitably does, they will be the first ones jumping up and down about how they called it.
They fail to understand that saying there will be a recession doesn't mean sh!t in the grand scheme of things. It would be like saying at some point today it will be 5 O'clock twice and then saying how they called it when it hit 5 O'clock.
Well no sh!t, every day there is a time when it's 5 O'clock twice. It's all about timing and how accurate you are with that. Saying there is going to be a recession with no time table is meaningless since of course you will be right at some point. It's the very nature of the economy...there will be ups and downs. Saying there will be a time when it's a down point and then acting like you are Merlin the Magician is idiotic since any kid who took basic economics in grade school could tell you that.
The skill in all of it is being accurate with the timing, which most of these bozos are not and are basically just talking out of their ass.

Destroy this. Get results.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

How can the economy be on the decline if the airports, trains, and freeways are full and they are building new apartments and plazas on every fvcking corner?

And in The US, economic highs and woes are always more pronounced or negligible, depending on what region we're referring to
Ex. The 1970s were dark days for New York City financially, but if one drove out to Appleton, life remained relatively unchanged
