In this economic/financial news report we discuss the growing unrest and economic challenges in the United States. It highlights widespread protests scheduled for June 14th, involving hundreds of cities, and troubling signs of escalating inflation, especially in car prices. The speaker emphasizes that inflation, which had been slowing, is now accelerating again due to factors such as tariffs and supply chain disruptions. Used car prices have hit a record average of $30,000, fueled by strong demand and limited supply. Concurrently, financial distress is rising as delinquencies on car loans reach record highs, with many borrowers having subprime credit scores. The video also points to issues like soaring commercial rents leading to restaurant evictions, which contribute to “greedflation”—higher prices driven by landlords’ profits rather than actual cost increases. Additional concerns include a collapsing job market, particularly for recent graduates burdened by student loans, and shifting consumer behaviors such as reduced sales at Starbucks and even in underwear purchases, which some see as an economic indicator. The overall narrative suggests the nation is facing a cost-of-living crisis layered with social unrest, escalating debt, and economic instability, with the situation intensifying ahead of the protests.
