Consumer confidence at levels not seen since Covid.

Good job, Donny.

Maybe he thinks this is golf where the lowest score wins?

I’ve read that tourism to the US is trending way down. Lots of blue collar jobs connected to that.

Most years we get north of 20MM Canadians here. This year that’ll be … fewer.

"Florida considers enabling income sources for unemployed young Americans" - FauxNews

[Jolly]

It brings Florida into line with existing Federal labor laws. It allows 16 and 17 year-old to exceed 30 hours a week with parental approval. It also removes restrictions for 14-15 year-old that are home-schooled, virtual schooled or graduated from high school.

If what I read is correct, a lot of this is grocery store and fast food work...Stocking, bagging, flipping burgers, etc.

I'm surprised Trump hasn't offered to abolish their income taxes.

Sounds like a suggestion that might appeal to the administration; consider sending that to the WH.

[Jolly]

I suspect some of this work is seasonal (picking strawberries in Lawdy, anyone) and the kids probably don't make enough to pay taxes on...

Looks like the stock market is falling below recent trading range. Not a good sign.

[xenon]

It’d settled for an earlier signal like this or worse vs. the inevitable inflation that’ll come.

I continue to remain floored that a President is allowed to purposely tank the economy.

Jolly and LD are a solid “not yet”.

What do you like most? (I’m not saying there aren’t any pros, more trying to understand which ones outweigh burning down our trade relationships)

That’s the one issue that’s got me floored and up in arms, I suppose. Everything else I’d be happy to tune out like I did with Biden.
