Tim covers reports that Walmart posted its slowest sales growth in six years as Americans cut spending, tying it to inflation, gas prices, and the idea that the economy now only serves AI and crypto billionaires.
- Walmart's sales are dropping because people don't have money and are trying to do more with less.
- The DSA will remain ascendant because people can only believe in establishment narratives for so long when they're broke.
- When you can't afford vacations, school supplies, or activities for your kids, there's a limit to how much you'll buy into Trump family propaganda about innovation.
