The Recession Game: Why the Government’s Actions Are Keeping Us Poor.

In the middle of a recession, when Americans are fighting to keep their heads above water, the government has set its sights on banning an app that has become a lifeline for millions of creators, entrepreneurs, and small businesses. It’s a move that not only undermines our freedom but also cripples the livelihoods of hard-working individuals who rely on this platform to survive. Is this really about security—or is it about control?

The app in question (yes, TikTok) has become a cornerstone for financial independence in a time when traditional jobs are drying up. Whether you’re a content creator, a small business owner, or a freelance service provider, platforms like this have provided an unprecedented opportunity to connect with global audiences, break free from corporate structures, and build something of your own.

For many Americans, it’s not just an app—it’s the modern-day American Dream.

Let’s not forget the context: we’re in the midst of a recession. Families are struggling to make rent, feed their kids, and keep up with skyrocketing costs of living. Meanwhile, the government has the audacity to target a platform that provides income streams to millions.

Why now? Why, when Americans are at their most vulnerable, does the government think it’s the right time to tighten the noose around our wallets?

Let’s be real: this isn’t about protecting us. The same government that bails out banks and subsidizes billion-dollar corporations has suddenly developed a conscience about data security? Unlikely.

This is about power. Apps like this represent a decentralization of opportunity. They give ordinary people the tools to bypass traditional gatekeepers and create wealth on their own terms. And that’s terrifying to institutions that thrive on keeping us dependent.

The system isn’t broken—it’s working exactly as it was designed. A government that truly cared about the welfare of its people would focus on creating opportunities, not taking them away. But instead, they push policies that maintain the status quo:

• Keep wages low.

• Keep debt high.

• Keep opportunities scarce.

  
  

By banning this app, they’re not just taking away a source of income—they’re sending a clear message: Stay in your lane. Don’t dream too big. Don’t think you can bypass the system we’ve put in place.

It’s easy to feel powerless in the face of these decisions, but we can fight back in small but impactful ways:

1. Stay informed: Understand the real reasons behind these bans and share the truth.

2. Support creators: If the platform goes down, follow your favorite creators elsewhere. Help them stay afloat.

3. Vote with your voice and wallet: Demand that your representatives prioritize policies that create opportunities rather than destroy them.

   
   

The banning of this app isn’t just about technology or security—it’s about control. In the middle of a recession, it’s a slap in the face to millions of Americans who are doing everything they can to survive. If we don’t fight for our freedom to innovate, create, and thrive, we’ll be left with a system that ensures only the rich get richer—while the rest of us are left scrambling for scraps.

It’s time to ask the hard questions. Who does this really benefit? And more importantly—what are we going to do about it?
