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.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

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
