re: #326 Big Beautiful Door

I’m not expecting a recession or stock market crash this year. The global economy is growing strongly, there isn’t a bubble like housing was, there is no sign that hiring is slowing or firings are rising, the economy isn’t overheating, corporate profits are strong, and there is still room for employment to grow despite a low official unemployment rate because we still have a relatively low employment to population ratio. Let the good times roll!

You can add two things that didn’t happen: there were no trade barriers put up and no mass deportations. Trump had promised these two economy killers, and having them implemented was one of my biggest fears about his presidency.
