Trumpenomics

I've been so overwhelmed with work for so long, that personally, I'm fine. (my problem is getting the right help, but that's another thread) My business is quite small---just myself, a road tech, a couple moving assistants, and some occasional shop help.

Some of those that that are set up with multiple full-time people in restoration shops, have been noticing a long-term downward in major restoration work. Not a collapse---just a noticeable change .

Finally got off being lazy and did put some data in a table.

Yeah that checks out.

[Mik]

To be expected. The market likes certainty and stability. We have neither. Way too early to tell how all this shakes out.

I think there’s a conservative axiom that it’s a lot easier to break things than improve them.

We’ve got the breaking part going now, let’s see if the improve part will happen.

Agreed, and Trump will likely change course if the market shows disapproval. But I wonder how long that might take.

Atlanta Fed now forecasting negative growth for the quarter.

Let’s borrow more money from the Chinese and use it to become the Greater Fool of Last Resort for crypto.

What’s the worst that could happen?
