Here’s how I see things playing out, but we are only 3 steps into it, and the other 7 steps take longer to play out:
1. Moronic president starts a trade war and adds ~$300B of annual tariffs that get passed on via inflation
2. Foreign confidence falls in the US and the dollar drops which weakens US buying power and influence
3. Fascist president (whose name rhymes with Dump) starts cutting educational and government agency funding leading to layoffs
4. Corp Earnings weaken and US Companies begin layoffs and reduce capital spend
5. Given rising unemployment, the fed lower rates, but this further exacerbates inflation.
6. Unfortunately, US companies continue to produce overseas since it is less expensive than US manufacturing even with tariffs
7. US ends up in recession and the first stagflationary environment since the 70’s, but fascist president blames it all on his predecessor and another ex-president who last served a decade ago and is officially retired from politics.
Did I miss anything in describing our currently reality?
We are already at number 4. Hiring is down and layoffs are on the rise, especially in the tech and service sectors.
And 7 is being heavily foreshadowed in more and more articles on stagflation. One today in the NYT for example.
The invisible hand of the market is starting to pummel us, regardless of Donnie boy’s bluster.

June private sector revised down to 3k from 78k. That’s incredible. Job market is weak.
Unemployment ticked up from 4.1 to 4.2
37k manufacturing jobs lost in July.
I’m not missing any meals. The choices you make in life have consequences. I find nothing alarming about the economy despite the best efforts of the DCUM chicken littles.
DP and I’m not missing any meals either but my family is in the top 10% of earners in the U.S. and I’m noticing the price increases all around me. And I have this thing called empathy.
I am in the top 1%. I agree with you on "empathy".
"chicken littles" will never understand they will be clutching their pearls as Don the Con destroys their lives and they will still blame the "libs" because they are too stupid to understand what koolaid they have drunk.
