. The post reads: "Yup, recession. GOOD NEWS: Gas will be cheap. BAD NEWS: You wonβt have a job to drive to." Below this, there is a quoted post from The Spectator Index, with the handle @spectatorindex
, posted 2 days ago. The quoted post states: "BREAKING: Crude oil falls below $60 for first time since 2021." The overall tone of Alex Cole's post is sarcastic, highlighting the economic trade-off of lower gas prices potentially being overshadowed by job losses during a recession.
