Is the current economic situation really that bad?

[Bushdark]

The recent advancements in technology, made people lazier than ever. We can blame the Internet and AI for this. It will only get worse in the long run. Eventually, most human-based tasks will be performed by AI. This translates into less jobs and a crippled economy. Unless, governments and central banks find a way to keep the economy afloat with such drastic changes.

A good economic landscape will bring a better quality of life to many. I sure hope things get back to normal before it's too late. With sound monetary policies, anything's possible. Right?

It is true, from the advancement of technology it is clear that it can advance a country or region, and that is a good achievement, especially with the advancement of AI and internet technology which is now widely used, so everything is easy and the effect is that the economy, becomes more difficult because it is replaced by this technology and there are risks behind this progress.

The fast advancement is technology is making things to look like we are enjoying without knowing that it's making us very lazy.
The advancement of artificial intelligence has made work looks easier but many do not know that time will come when robot will be the ones doing our jobs because they want us to believe that robot is more smarter than us. Many are still sleeping without knowing that we are already in the technology era which the truth might become difficult to tell since your voices, images can be synchronized which can be used to create an imitation of you.

The truth is that there is no way that the technology will come because this is there era and no one would have believed that something like this can even happen this are happening faster than what we think and almost everything now is runed by AI almost all companies are adopting the new technology and its true that its making people lazy and it will take jobs away from people.

The only thing now is for people is just need to invest to be more productive because tech is already taking over analog and people will do the right thing in the whole process so this is enough reasons to start making plans early, this as become something we have to plan against preparation is now the best thing that can save everyone when you make some smart decision like investing in virtual assets and many more.

It seems like the whole world is facing a financial crunch. Based on my personal observations, I think several factors contribute to this situation:

International Instability: Ongoing conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine war and the prolonged tensions in the Israel-Palestine region.
Rising Interest Rates: The U.S. dollar entering a cycle of increased interest rates.
Post-Pandemic Aftermath: The lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

I don't think that it is all the world is experiencing economic downfall right now because the economy of a country to drop it with determined by the leadership of that country except that there is a virus that is affecting countries that will make some few countries to suffer for economic problem at the same time, it is clear from my understanding that economy of a country is being built by the leaders of that country and if they Fell to manage the economy of that country it is when there was that having an economy to downfall and I don't think that all country will experience such economic such economic downfall without a world challenge issues like virus problems across other countries

Indeed, currently the financial crisis is hitting many countries, but that does not mean all of them, I think that in a state system it depends on the leadership to overcome it in taking policies to improve the financial system, and indeed among them when Covid-19, every country has tried to get out of the financial crisis depending on the thinking of the country's leadership.

The current economic situation is not the best. Many countries have experienced a decline in GDP, increased unemployment rates & decreased consumer spending. The severity of the situation varies across regions & sectors. Governments & central banks have implemented measures to mitigate the impact. We must acknowledge the difficulties but also consider the potential for recovery & growth as economies adapt to the changing circumstances.

Things turned out worse irrespective of the policy they enacted.The current inflation situation is really challenging, making it difficult for people to afford their basic necessities;so it's affects the economy and the citizens.
The global growth has reduced and the Inflation is expected to persist against global growth.The progressive measures needed are not actively implemented and that's a threat to improving the Inflation rates.

Every country leader who is not corrupt towards his people and also towards his own country will certainly be able to solve every problem they are currently facing even though the problem is quite complicated like the financial crisis you mentioned. But for country leaders who still have the intention to remain corrupt towards their own people, let alone solving it, they will actually add new problems that arise in their own country. So all of this also depends on how the state can really care about their own people so that they can be willing to produce policies that can help their country solve every problem that currently exists.

I agree with you. When there is a shortage of something in the world, a situation like inflation can arise. People's lost their purchasing power. There is nothing the governments can do. However, if the government of a country really wants the development of its country, it can definitely control the situation if it is not corrupt. It is seen that the governments of many countries increase the prices of goods due to corruption and blame them for the increase in the international market. Due to which the right solution to issues like inflation is not found. But if there is proper and honest leadership, then any goal can be achieved even in any adverse situation.

The government and of course, the people too may have made a lot of bad decisions to have led us to this state and economic situation. But at the end of the day, we should still look on the bright side. For our dear Bitcoin, we've got more investors than ever before. We've also got the wide adoption of skills acquisition, web business personnel, and others. Maybe this economic conflict may lead to a better civilization.

Not only government that contributed to this global economic situation, pandemic is the major thing that made this situation of the economic to get worse because it made many government to lose control on what to do to stop the pandemic that took over 2 years in the world. I know sometimes inflation use to occur for government to do one or two things to reduce it for people to experience low price of commodities global, but some current presidents don't care much about inflation than to concentrate on war that will make economic situation to get worse to affect the global economic.

El Salvador government is the first country to introduced legal tender, that made other governments to start adopting BTC because they have seen how it has helped some governments that adopted BTC to reduce inflation in their countries.

[lornadane]

on a personal level, it feels bad because costs rise faster than income. rent, food, and transport eat more of the paycheck. even if GDP numbers don’t look terrible, daily life does. that disconnect is why many people feel the economy is worse than official stats say.

[gibrab16]

Depends where you are and what you compare it to. Prices are up, wages aren’t keeping pace, and interest rates make borrowing expensive. But inflation has come down from peak in many places. It’s rough for average people, but not total collapse.

I thought you were going to give some happy insights as to how we are actually still doing pretty good economically - most of the world is at peace and trading with each other for prosperity. Your observations are old and stale, just in the last week the US interest rate has undergone a drop and is not rising as you claim. There will always be versions of the flu around and COVID was a particularly bad version of it, but we cannot let it constraints us. Hopefully someone will wipe Putin out so this Russian invasion can come to an end, as it serves no other purpose than to stroke the ego of a madman.

I don't think the Ukraine-Russia conflict has a significant impact on global prices, any more than the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. These are too localized conflicts to have a significant impact on all sectors of the world, as COVID-19 did. COVID-19 did disrupt many supplies and disrupt logistics supply chains. The US mortgage crisis also had a significant impact on the global situation.
The mortgage crisis occurred because the United States is the central country for all business processes in the world, and the slowdown of its economic mechanisms immediately affected the entire world.

"Inflation has cooled a bit"? Or is it getting worse? Because governments and central banks have a proven track record of lying to the public. Otherwise, everybody would panic.

It's true that wages aren't keeping pace with inflation. If the issue persists, the economy won't be going anywhere. We should blame greedy businesses and/or companies for this. They're the ones holding us "hostage". The low and middle-class people will continue to suffer, while the rich will continue to prosper. Shows us how rigged the system is. Will Bitcoin fix the world? We're yet to see...

While I agree with the statement that each country's economy is influenced by how the government creates economic policies, on the other hand, we are currently in an era of globalization where free trade can occur on a small scale. What I mean is that the capitalist system and inflation have made some people feel the economy is getting worse. People with large capital can buy goods firsthand and sell them at competitive prices. In fact, most of the businesspeople I know have imported goods from China at lower prices. As a result, local entrepreneurs are going bankrupt, and businesses with small capital cannot compete. I believe there is currently a large gap between the poor and the rich. And that also makes me agree that the current economic conditions are bad on a global scale.

Inflation is steadily increasing the price is thing is hike everything is up meanwhile salaries isn't going up, the government is one the cause of this inflation, they own major business in the country so they can increase the price of things and let the poor suffer it while they have much money to buy at large size.
In my country we so many greedy business men that bought goods at a much cheaper price and sell to us in a high rate which can easily be afford by the rich folks.

I think the current economic situation does not depend only on location it mainly depends on an individual’s income level. People whose earning are average or fixed salaries are suffering the lot because inflation is very high. Their purchasing power has reduced, and even basic needs like food, rent, healthcare and education are becoming hard to manage for them. Many people are forced to work extra hours or take second jobs just to survive or just for basics needs. this pressure affects not only their finances but also their mental health and family life.

High interest rates discourage investors and make it difficult for small businesses to take loans or expand their business. i think job creation slows down and economic growth weakens. Although governments claim the economy is improving but the reality for ordinary people is very different and daily life is becoming more stressful and uncertain

Well, the gap between the rich and poor is going to get worse in the long run. The system is broken, as it's designed to benefit some people more than others. Oligarchs take advantage of the system and make their own rules for everyone else to follow. Both governments and central banks are happy with this model as it benefits them more than "We the People".

Economic recovery is only temporary, as a period of "reset" usually follows. I believe we're in such moment, where inflation has soared so high it will force governments and central banks to "reset" the economy. This time, they will take advantage of the opportunity to launch CBDCs of their own. We will see a brief period of "relief", only for things to get worse. The cycle repeats itself over and over again. I'm yet waiting for Bitcoin to fix the world. Hopefully, it will happen sometime in the future.

Well the situation maybe bad but not like that, it depends. The whole world is facing financial crunch, but majority of this problem emanated from each country leader due to bad leadership. Why I said this is that even as there is financial crunch in many countries, there are still countries with good governance and no economic crunch reasons being that there is a good leadership. When the leadership is good economic financial system becomes stable.
