This is the real story. You can ignore the stocks, but you cannot ignore the bonds. And they've been flashing warning signs all week.

I want to see that chart on the right 6 months from now to see where it's at. It's still not as low as it was under Biden. And Trump is REALLY trying.

I speculate we may see a good chunk of bare shelves at Walmart until the USA spins up some "cheap plastic shit" plants in like six months.

Maybe quicker. They already exist in one form or another, they'll just need new molds for the extruders to make laundry baskets or whatever, and time to hire a 2nd/3rd shift.

Uber and doordash will be short of available gig workers, soon. Factory jobs as far as the eye can see.

U.S. economy shrank 0.3% in the first quarter as Trump policy uncertainty weighed on businesses
Amazing how right the voters were
Private sector payrolls rose by just 62,000 for the month, the smallest gain since July 2024, down from 147,000 in March and missing the Dow Jones consensus estimate for an increase of 120,000.
Doesn't the economy know we're winning?

Disney laying off workers.

This should shock nobody. Got to keep Wall St happy.

And is there a better example of how broken our current system is than Disney?
