During my 4-day stay in Denver, I watched TV for about an hour every morning.
Based on the ads I saw, I realized that the US is heading towards a recession:
– bank ads are about refinancing debt, not cheap loans to spend recklessly
– lots of ads about saving money buying cheaper alternatives (even Burger King menus and generic viagra lol)
– aggressive ads for apps that track your spending to cut unnecessary subscriptions and realize where most of the money goes
When these are the products/services needing advertisement (and considering it worth the expense), that’s how you know that the economy is in a critical state.
