re: #309 Big Beautiful Door

I wouldn’t count on that. Though the tariffs have hit some sectors hard, like soybean farmers, they are still small beans relative to a $20 trillion economy. Increases in firings always precede a recession, usually by about a year, and so far initial unemployment claims remain at 49 year lows.

Who’s counting on anything? And they’re talking about the effect of the tax scam and overheated markets — as you point out, the tariffs aren’t that big a deal with respect to the whole economy.

Where was the increase in firings before the housing bubble burst?
